Cogeneration / Distributed Generation Proposal

1
Cogeneration / Distributed Generation
Proposal Oakland University
2
Clean energy infrastructure to attract and
educate the next generation of engineering
students While becoming a national leader in
sustainable campus design Zero capital cost
accompanied by improved infrastructure AND cost
savings
3

• Need to replace Boiler 4
• Need additional backup power
• Propose 4.6MW cogeneration
• Combine with 400kW micro-turbines in the new
  Engineering Center
• 2.1MW wind turbine
• Future 1MW solar PV array
• Combine with existing campus solar PV 10kW on
  Student Apartments, 50kW on HHB, 40kW on
  Engineering Center

4

• No capital cost required, only energy cost
  savings
• Third party ownership and PPA for wind (1.8M
  savings over 20 years)
• Third party lease for cogeneration (28M savings
  over 20 years)
• 12M investment of private funds
• Significantly reduce carbon footprint
• Attract more students Integrate into School of
  Engineering and Computer Science curriculum
• New wind power course
• New energy management course
• Existing renewable energy course
