1 THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL BRANCH (UTMB) AT GALVESTON Energy Security on a Barrier Island Presented to CAPPA Annual Conference Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013 Agenda About UTMB Galveston Hurricane Ike Where We Were - September 12, 2008 Where We Are Going - A Three Step Solution CHP Options Evaluated Tunneling in Sand Below Sea Level New East Plant and Utility Bridges About UTMB Established in 1891 as the University of Texas Medical Department with one building, 23 students and 13 faculty members is the oldest medical school west of the Mississippi River. 84 acre campus with seven hospitals, than 70 major buildings, 13,000 employees, 2,500 students and more than 1,000 faculty Emergency Room at John Sealy Hospital is one of only three Level 1 Trauma Centers in the Greater Houston area. 1

3 Hurricane Ike, September 13, 2008 Water/Storm Surge Approximately 17ft to 18ft based on the information gathered to date. NOAA Timing at High Tide landfall at approximately 2:10 AM, 2 hours and 4 minutes before the scheduled morning high tide on September 13, 2008 at 4:14am.

6 Back to Work Open 12 Clinics Students back to classes Staff relocations Temporary kitchen, tent cafeteria Temporary sterile processing, pharmacy, & other ancillary facilities Impact of Ike Cost of Stabilization : $14,000,000 Unable to Operate Hospital : 90 Days Lost Business Revenue : $2,000,000/day Cost of Evacuation Steam distribution Systems a Complete Loss Chilled water Pits a complete Loss Lost Research Materials Over 1 million Sqft of campus buildings damaged Estimated 1 billion dollars in damages Where We Were Inability to provide firm supply 6

7 CCF Rate 9/24/2013 Impact of Ike (Operating Expense) Natural Gas 7,000,000 6,000,000 5,368,746 5,514,348 6,481,437 6,228,236 $2.000 $1.800 $ ,000,000 4,637,969 $ ,000,000 $1.034 $1.200 $0.892 $ ,000,000 $5,701,467 $0.727 $ ,000,000 $4,786,249 $3,370,844 $0.575 $0.588 $3,727,228 $3,663,606 $0.600 $ ,000,000 $ FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 $0.000 Use CCF Cost Rate Where We are Going A Three Step Solution CORROSION FROM THE SALT WATER Step One Go Away from Buried Steam Pipe After 2 years the water is gone but LEAKS Move to Buried Hot Water With Corrosion Resistant Valves and Fittings 7

8 Step Two Elevate the Boilers and Chillers Impact of Ike It could have been far worse! Step Three Produce On-Site Electricity via Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Combined Heat and Power Systems are Approx. 50% more Efficient than Traditional Systems Options Given Consideration On October 28, 2010 the Facility Steering Committee directed UTMB Infrastructure Team to proceed with increasing the energy security of the UTMB Campus OPTION On-Site Power Production Production Equipment Clinical Core Critical Buildings 5.0 MW X 15 MW X X 30 MW X X X 8

9 Summary of CHP Economic Analysis Note: Variance between all CHP options is within the accuracy of the estimates. CHP Option Five (Recommended) Summary of Pros and Cons Recommended Option 1 Option 1A Option 2A Option 3 Option 4A Option 5 2 Taurus 60s, 600 psi 2 Taurus 60s, 250 psi 2 Taurus 60s, 250 psi 2 mw gas Engines with 2 Taurus 60s, with 2 Mercury 50s with Heat Recovery and 4 combined cycle with combined cycle with HRSG with one backpressure Heat Recovery amd 2mW diesel engines one 150 psi steam one 250 psi steam steam turbine condensing STG and all electric chillers with SCRs and all turbine driven chiller turbine driven chiller driven chiller all electric chillers electric chillers Pros Flexible Flexible Most Flexible Electric capacity is Lowest first cost Lowest first cost independent of turbine option campus heat load Simple operation Simple operation Simple operation 12,400 tons off grid 12,400 tons off grid 12,400 tons off grid 9,600 tons off grid 13,000 tons off grid 13,000 tons off grid Lowest life cycle cost Combined cycle can Lowest life cycle cost be added in the future Allows the option of an electric heat pump Low life cycle cost Cons Electric capacity is Electric capacity is Electric capacity is Requires stand-by limited by campus heat limited by campus limited by campus Higher first cost boilers load heat load heat load More maintenance Higher first cost Higher first cost Least flexible than turbines Subject to heating More noise and Complex Operation Complex Operation load profile risk vibration than turbines Higher first cost Requires dematerialized water 600 psi steam system requires higher skilled operators Will use more ammonia 9
