Oregon State University CHP

Description: The project involves installing a combined heat and power (CHP) plant to provide steam and electricity for the campus. The installation of a 5.5-megawatt combustion turbine generator fired by natural gas, a heat recovery steam generator, and two auxiliary boilers will generate electricity that will meet approximately 50 percent of the electrical load at the university, thereby limiting the use of grid-generated electricity.
