## The challenge

Veolia’s energy consulting division, SourceOne, served as Owner’s Representative for the re-development of a combined heat and power (CHP) facility for a university based in Manhattan.

Services included review of equipment selection, space allocation, preparation of financial pro-formas and development of O&M and fuel cost models.

### The client’s challenges are:

- To expand existing 7 MW cogeneration plant to meet needs for the university.
- The vast majority of the college’s GHGs in 2009 came from energy needed to heat, cool, and power its buildings.



 

 

 



## Veolia’s solution



 

 

 



### Innovative sustainable solution:

- With two combustion turbines, two heat recovery steam generators and a steam turbine, the expanded CHP system generates up to 90,000 pounds of steam per hour and 13.4 MW of electricity.
- This microgrid system serves the electrical needs of 22 buildings and provides steam and hot water to 37 buildings on campus.

### Customer targets:

- To meet increasing demands for electricity, steam and hot water.
- Develop a solution that is as sustainable and reliable as possible.



 

 

 



## **The benefits for our client**

### Additional beneficial outcomes:

- The university generates revenue by selling excess electricity to Con Edison when campus demand is low.

### Full-service support:

- SourceOne provided technical and financial review, contract preparation, coordination of the project team and utility liaison.
