All Rights Reserved 1 Presentation Outline Combined Heat & Power Terminology CHP Market Overview Conventional Power Generation vs. CHP Power Generation Equipment Heat Recovery Systems Economics and Incentives Equipment Suppliers Other Resources All Rights Reserved 2 Terms & Market Overview All Rights Reserved 3 1

2 What is CHP? Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the sequential / simultaneous production of two different forms of useful energy from a single input energy Single primary fuel source natural gas Fully integrated system produces usable heat as well as power (either electricity or shaft power) All Rights Reserved 4 How it works Combined Heat & Power systems provide power independence with up to 80% overall thermal efficiency All Rights Reserved 5 Known by Many Names CCHP (Combined Cooling, Heating & Power) CHPB (CHP for Buildings) Cogen (Cogeneration) DE (Distributed Energy) DG (Distributed Generation) IES (Integrated Energy Systems) TES (Total Energy Systems) Trigen (Trigeneration) Today we will use CHP (Combined Heat and Power) to reinforce the importance of recovering the waste heat! All Rights Reserved 6 2

3 Cogeneration CHP has come to replace the word Cogeneration in many modern applications Cogeneration is specifically listed in the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) This act further defines a Qualifying Facility (QF) Electric Utilities must allow interconnection from QFs There is lots of paperwork to become a QF The term CHP is often used to distance a project from PURPA rules All Rights Reserved 7 Components of CHP CHP systems consist of an integrated package Prime mover engine, turbine or fuel cell Generator Heat recovery system Electrical interconnections All Rights Reserved 8 Spark Spread Definition Spark spread is the relative difference between the price of fuel and the price of power. Spark spread is highly dependent on the efficiency of conversion. For a CHP system, spark spread is the difference between the cost of fuel for the CHP system to produce power and heat on site and the offset cost of purchased grid power. Understanding the cost helps companies determine their bottom line costs All Rights Reserved 9 3

4 Spark Spread Calculation Spark Spread = Cost of Electricity from the grid Cost of electricity from CHP If the spark spread is negative, then it is cheaper to buy electricity from the grid If it is positive, then it is advisable to run the CHP system All Rights Reserved 10 Spark Spreads 2016 Average Retail Commercial Energy prices from EIA converted to $/MMBTU using 1030 BTU/CF and 3412 BTU/KWH. Average Commercial Gas Electric Spark Average Commercial Gas Electric Spark Retail Pricing $/MMBTU $/MMBTU Spread Retail Pricing $/MMBTU $/MMBTU Spread U.S. $ 7.07 $ Montana $ 6.92 $ Alabama $ $ Nebraska $ 5.29 $ Alaska $ 8.10 $ Nevada $ 6.64 $ Arizona $ 8.57 $ New Hampshire $ $ Arkansas $ 6.93 $ New Jersey $ 7.70 $ California $ 8.17 $ New Mexico $ 5.51 $ Colorado $ 6.23 $ New York $ 6.00 $ Connecticut $ 8.53 $ North Carolina $ 7.49 $ Delaware $ 9.30 $ North Dakota $ 5.29 $ District of Columbia $ 9.59 $ Ohio $ 5.57 $ Florida $ $ Oklahoma $ 7.50 $ Georgia $ 7.69 $ Oregon $ 9.03 $ Hawaii $ $ Pennsylvania $ 7.91 $ Idaho $ 6.91 $ Rhode Island $ $ Illinois $ 6.93 $ South Carolina $ 8.17 $ Indiana $ 6.36 $ South Dakota $ 5.48 $ Iowa $ 5.82 $ Tennessee $ 7.57 $ Kansas $ 8.17 $ Texas $ 6.69 $ Kentucky $ 7.66 $ Utah $ 7.21 $ Louisiana $ 7.69 $ Vermont $ 6.44 $ Maine $ $ Virginia $ 7.02 $ Maryland $ 8.68 $ Washington $ 8.24 $ Massachusetts $ 9.20 $ West Virginia $ 7.52 $ Michigan $ 6.70 $ Wisconsin $ 6.11 $ Minnesota $ 6.25 $ Wyoming $ 6.35 $ Mississippi $ 7.57 $ Alberta $ 4.41 $ Missouri $ 7.66 $ Ontario - Retail $ 5.80 $ In general, we are looking for electric prices that are 3X or more the cost of natural gas. All Rights Reserved 11 Spark Spreads Spark Spread > 5 Spark Spread 4 5 Spark Spread 3 4 Spark Spread 2 3 Between 2015 & 2016 there were 15 states that increased spark spread by 1 level and just one state that reduced it s spark spread. Based on 2016 retail commercial energy rates from EIA. DC A 3 or higher on a scale from 1 5 is a good spark spread. All Rights Reserved 12 4

5 Interconnection Interconnection standards includes the technical requirements and the legal procedures whereby a customer sited generator interfaces with the electric grid. Generally, the electric distribution utility must review and approve a proposed DG system within a framework established by the state s public utilities commission. Utilities traditionally have determined which systems may connect to the grid and under what circumstances. This arrangement presents a conflict of interest that can result in significant barriers to customer sited CHP All Rights Reserved 13 EPA Policies & Incentives Database chp policies and incentives database Sample:>> All Rights Reserved 14 DSIRE Policy Database All Rights Reserved 15 5
