What is CHP & Why do we need it in Michigan? April 30, 2015 Jim Leidel Director of Clean Energy Systems Oakland University
Outline of Discussion What is CHP the Opportunity of CHP: (a new look at an tried and true technology) What does CHP look like Project feasibility basics: the spark spread Why CHP in Michigan? Multiple benefits to CHP Oakland University CHP & MicroGrid Questions ?
Combined Heat and Power combined efficiency is dramatically increased 30-40% 75-85% 80-90% combined efficiency is dramatically increased
Benefits of CHP to the Host Additional heating capacity “New” equipment replacing aging systems Backup electrical power Lower carbon footprint Diversified energy options for supply Energy independence Grid Reliability Cost savings drives the whole opportunity
Benefits of CHP to the Grid Replace retiring base-load coal generation Reduce transmission losses Lower carbon footprint (with natural gas) Highest efficiency possible Added Reliability

Why do we need CHP?
COAL RETIREMENTS: BEGINNING OF THE END The US coal fleet is entering an unprecedented period of retirements, as the industry faces a three-pronged assault from low gas prices, an aging fleet, and stringent environmental compliance. • Old age: numerous units are today approaching 50+ years of operation. • Cheap gas: sub-$4/MMBtu Henry Hub gas will hit coal units twice – first, by reducing wholesale power prices; and second, by bringing combine-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) into the base-load power mix, encroaching on sales of coal-fired electricity. • Environmental regulations: standards laid out by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will force generators to decide whether to invest in expensive environmental controls.
