What Are Some Of Todays Issues here at UVM

• The growth on campus
• Energy costs
• Systems are outdated and obsolete
• Chilled water is not centralized
• Air conditioning is an expectation
• Utilities are critical for Research
• System reliability

8
What Can You Do About It

• Learn about various types of energy solutions
• Educate others
• In your careers try to promote energy awareness
• Maybe become an engineer
• Every little bit helps

The powerplant consists of 17 main Francis
turbine generators and two Pelton Waterwheel
station service units (one for each plant wing).
The total plant capacity is 2,079 MW.

Cogeneration Benefits

• Better system efficiency (cost effective)
• Savings of millions of dollars over 20 years
• Protection from brown-outs
• Less overall emissions Credit for LEED
  certification
• Cage plant space is compatible for a cogen
  installation
• Physically and economically viable
• Improves reliability

UVM Wind Turbine

Project Specifics

• Modest reduction in campus CO2 output by 3,500
  to 5,900 lbs. per year because of the wind
  turbine.
• Due to location specifics, it is estimated that
  the turbine will generate 3,000 to 5,000
  kilowatt-hours which is enough to power an new,
  energy efficient home for 12 months. The data
  logger, at the base of the tower, will collect
  data on wind speed, wind direction and kilowatts
  produced.

What is tidal energy? Tidal energy is one of
the oldest forms of energy used by humans.
Indeed, tide mills, in use on the Spanish,
French and British coasts, date back to 787
A.D.. Tide mills consisted of a storage pond,
filled by the incoming (flood) tide through a
sluice and emptied during the outgoing (ebb)
tide through a water wheel. The tides turned
waterwheels, producing mechanical power to mill
grain. We even have one remaining in New York-
which worked well into the 20th century.
