Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

• The Draft New Jersey Energy Energy Master Plan
  calls for the development of 1,500 MW of CHP
  generation over the next ten years.

Typical CHP System

CHP can avoid 60 of the potential growth in
carbon dioxide emissions between 2006 and 2030.

Advantages of CHP

• Enhance our energy security by reducing our
  national energy requirements and help businesses
  weather energy price volatility and supply
  disruptions
• Advance our climate change and environmental
  goals by reducing emissions of CO2 and other
  pollutants
• Improve business competitiveness by increasing
  energy efficiency and managing costs
• Increase resiliency of our energy infrastructure
  by limiting congestion and offsetting
  transmission losses
• Diversify energy supply by enabling further
  integration of domestically produced and
  renewable fuels
• Improve energy efficiency by capturing heat that
  is normally wasted.

and General Operating Permit (GOP)

• GP-021 and GOP-005 for Turbine Units
• 65 MMBtu/hr

• Reciprocating Engines
• 65 MMBtu/hr

• The most commonly used approach to determining a
  CHP system's efficiency is to calculate total
  system efficiency. Also known as thermal
  efficiency, the total system efficiency ( o) of a
  CHP system is the sum of the net useful power
  output (WE) and net useful thermal outputs (SQTH)
  divided by the total fuel input (QFUEL), as shown
  below

• Power reliability is a critical issue for many
  industrial and institutional facilities,
  Loss of electric power represents a
  quantifiable business, safety, and health risk to
  their operations.

• CHP can be a reliable and cost-effective
  alternative to installing unproductive backup
  generators to provide protection against extended
  outages

10
CHP as a Reliability Solution

• Rather than install a diesel backup generator to
  provide outage protection, a facility can design
  capability into a CHP system that provides
  electric and thermal energy to the site on a
  continuous basis, resulting in daily operating
  cost savings

Some Incentives for CHP

• New Jersey EDA has created a suite of financial
  incentives to help fund clean energy projects.
  One of which is called the Clean Energy Solutions
  (CES) fund. It provides interest-free loans and
  grants to ensure that commercial, industrial and
  institutional entities have the resources they
  need to grow and prosper while simultaneously
  reducing New Jerseys carbon footprint by
  employing clean efficient energy solution
  including CHP.

(DSIRE) Database of State Incentives for
Renewable Energy

• Established in 1995 and funded by the U.S.
  Department of Energy
• DSIRE is a comprehensive source of information on
  state, local, utility and federal incentives and
  policies that promote renewable energy and energy
  efficiency.
