What is CHP Why do we need it

What is CHP & Why do we need it in Michigan? April 30, 2015 Jim Leidel Director of Clean Energy Systems Oakland University

Outline of Discussion • What is CHP • the Opportunity of CHP: (a new look at an tried and true technology) • What does CHP look like • Project feasibility basics: the spark spread • Why CHP in Michigan? • Multiple benefits to CHP • Oakland University CHP & Micro. Grid • Questions ?

Combined Heat and Power 30 -40% 75 -85% 80 -90% combined efficiency is dramatically increased

Benefits of CHP to the Host • Additional heating capacity – “New” equipment replacing aging systems • • • Backup electrical power Lower carbon footprint Diversified energy options for supply Energy independence Grid Reliability Cost savings drives the whole opportunity

Benefits of CHP to the Grid • • • Replace retiring base-load coal generation Reduce transmission losses Lower carbon footprint (with natural gas) Highest efficiency possible Added Reliability

Why do we need CHP?

COAL RETIREMENTS: BEGINNING OF THE END The US coal fleet is entering an unprecedented period of retirements, as the industry faces a three-pronged assault from low gas prices, an aging fleet, and stringent environmental compliance. • Old age: numerous units are today approaching 50+ years of operation. • Cheap gas: sub-$4/MMBtu Henry Hub gas will hit coal units twice – first, by reducing wholesale power prices; and second, by bringing combine-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) into the base-load power mix, encroaching on sales of coal-fired electricity. • Environmental regulations: standards laid out by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will force generators to decide whether to invest in expensive environmental controls.

Impediments to CHP • • • Utility backup / stand-by charges Time to complete utility interconnections Emissions regulations & permitting time Knowledge Capital Costs / Finance Competition (alternatives) – Conservation – Electric choice – Relatively cheap electricity

Solutions to Help CHP • Review and revise utility stand-by charges • Create time limits for utility study & interconnection process • Create time limits for project permitting • Promote CHP • State-wide study of CHP opportunity • Create low interest loan fund?
