In the spring of 2003, a 60-kW microturbine with heat recovery was installed at the Anderson Municipal Building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The heat recovery is used for building heating. The intent of the project was to take advantage of the energy efficiency of cogeneration while also providing a standby generator for the building. The equipment was heavily instrumented in order to verify efficient operation and act as a demonstration facility for the community. The goal of this project was to produce an automatic sequence that will only dispatch the microturbine when it is financially advantageous. Real run-time data was used to determine what conditions, both outside (weather, thermal load) and inside (energy demand), resulted in cost savings, using current utility rates to credit the energy produced by the microturbine. Currently the building can only consume both types of energy produced by the microturbine (thermal and electrical) in the winter. This project also analyzed the addition of an absorption chiller, which would absorb thermal energy in the summer. Due to relatively high natural gas cost compared to electricity cost, the operation of the microturbine was not found to be cost effective at any time. Also, the absorption chiller was not found to be cost effective over the existing vapor-compression chiller.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .M484 2009 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
