11 Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Presentation to the Board of Directors Existing and Future Combined Heat and Power (CHP) at DITP September 17, 2014

12 DITP A Significant Energy User 175,000,000 Total DITP Annual Power Demand, kwh 170,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000,000 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 Staff efforts have helped reduced plant electrical demand by 10% Process Optimization Installation of new energy efficient equipment 12

13 DITP Green Energy Production (FY14) 40,000,000 Total On- Site Renewable Electrical Energy kwh 35,000,000 30,000,000 25,000,000 20,000,000 15,000,000 10,000,000 5,000,000 Generation Assets: Digas STG/BPSTG 25.1 M kwh 17.4% Hydro Power 5.89 M kwh 4.1% Wind Power 1.48 M kwh 1.0% Solar 0.86 M kwh 0.6% 0 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 Renewable energy from Digas Renewable Energy from other sources Maximizing On-Site Green Energy Production is a priority for MWRA 23% of DITP s total electricity demand met by green energy 60% of DITP s energy needs (heat + power) met by Digester Gas (62.5% for all) 13

14 DITP Digester Gas Generation & Use (FY14) On-site Thermal Power Plant Anaerobic Digester Complex Digas Generation Anaerobic Digestion: 240 dtpd solid in, 100 dtpd to FRSA for pellet conversion Digas generated on average is 60% methane OSTPP: Bottom-Cycle Generation Digas 95% utilized 95% of heat demand met by Digas ($17.6 million annually) (remainder by Fuel Oil) 25.1 M kwh generation from Steam Turbine ($2.4 million annually) 14

15 Combined Heat & Power Process Currently Used by DITP Bottom Cycle Generation Heat First 60% efficient Generate Steam then Hot Water Power Second 9% efficient Generate Electricity from Steam New BPSTG / Steam Bypass Valve improves steam to electricity conversion process by extracting more heat per unit steam 15

16 Combined Heat & Power Process Improved Performance STG Power Output (MW) STG Power Output vs. Steam Flow (STG Boiler 101 with BP- STG) Steam Flow (KLB/HR) OperaKng in a vacuum Not operakng in a vacuum y = x R² = y = x R² = New BPSTG / Steam Bypass Valve improve steam to electricity conversion process 18% improvement (10.6% efficiency overall) +1.3 MW increase in generation from steam generators Sustainable May - November Should see an increase of +4.5 M kwh / year ~30 M kwh total/year from steam (25.1 M kwh currently) 16

17 CHP Study Objectives CDM Smith Residuals Technology Assessment Develop engineering and economics for new CHP Compare and recommend more efficient generation technologies Internal Combustion Engines Gas Turbines Develop Simple Payback Analysis / Economic benefits Evaluate implementation options 17

18 Internal Combustion Engines versus Gas Turbines Exhaust emissions (NOx, CO) GT Space required (Capacity) GT Capital and operating costs GT Energy efficiency (Electricity and Heat) Flexibility GT 18

19 CHP Technology Change CHP Technology Change Change from Bottom to Top cycle generation Improve efficiency Increased electrical production Better use of all digas - summer months Continue to meet plant heating needs CHP Benefit from Co Digestion Expected 29-42% increase in biogas Results in more electrical output Heat demand increase 5-10% Electrical demand increase <2% 19

20 Cost Benefit Analysis Simple Payback Payback Without and With Co-Digestion Parameter OSTPP with 1 Gas Turbine* OSTPP with 1 Gas Turbine* With Codigestion 3 Gas Turbines* 3 Gas Turbines* With Codigestion Capital Cost $24.9 M $24.9 M $75.0 M $75.0 M Annual O&M Cost $2.2 M/yr $2.2 M/yr $1.6 M/yr $1.6 M/yr Annual Electrical Savings $5.2 M/yr $7.0 M/yr $11.4 M/yr $14.7 M/yr Net Annual Savings $3.0 M/yr $4.8 M/yr $9.8 M/yr $13.1 M/yr Simple Payback Period 8 years 5 years 8 years 6 years Single Gas Turbine capacity: 4.6 MW Payback does not include potential funding for green energy projects to pay for the capital. 20

21 Potential Energy Benefit with CHP Existing Thermal Plant 23% green generation* (18% w/digas) 75% purchased electricity CHP with 3 Gas Turbines Co-Digestion Can reverse energy profile More sustainable 77% green generation* (72% w/digas) 21% purchased electricity *Note: 1.5% generation by CTG backup power. 21

22 Recommendation Gas Turbine CHP is recommended technology Staff will move forward with design to Confirm economics Investigate additional equipment needed Review economics with and without co-digestion Confirm full implementation approach Develop specific gas system changes Develop plans and specs for bidding new CHP 22
