Cogeneration Projects
TVC has extensive experience developing process control systems for cogeneration plants, including:
Medical Area Total Energy Plant (MATEP) - Boston, MA (PDF - 402K)
- Complete balance of plant for dual fueled 40 MW combustion turbine co-generation plant
- Two Siemens combustion turbine generator units with duct fired HRSGs
- One Solar combustion turbine generator unit with duct fired HRSG
- Waste heat from combustion turbine used by steam turbine to generate electricity
- Extraction from the steam turbine used to generate hot water and chilled water for hospital’s heating and cooling loads
University of New Hampshire Cogeneration & Chiller Plant - Durham, NH
- Supervisory control and data acquisition system for a cogeneration facility, chiller plant, and hot water plant
- Includes a 7.5 MW combustion turbine generator coupled to a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), one Solar 4.6 MW gas turbine, and a 1,200 ton chilled water plant
- Plant supports turbine operation on processed landfill gas
- The new facilities and UNH's existing steam plant operate in parallel with the local electric company grid
- Critical report generation data transfered to campus Oracle database for long term storage and advanced data analysis
- Web browser access to plant graphics from UNH website
Central Connecticut State University Total Energy Center - New Britain, CT (PDF - 290K)
