Cogeneration / Distributed Generation Proposal Oakland University
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
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
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
