Details
Combined heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity and the utilization of "waste" heat for campus heating requirements. The Cornell Combined Heat and Power Plant (CCHPP) includes two Solar Titan combustion turbines (15 MW each) coupled with Rentech heat recovery steam generators. Each turbine combusts natural gas to pro¬vide the power needed to turn an electric genera-tor. Excess heat leaving the gas turbine is recycled through the heat recovery steam generator to produce steam for campus needs. The CCHPP provides the majority of campus electrical power and generates ~ 180 million kwh each year. Please find attached a copy of the tour pamphlet
The event will be sponsored by GPSAFC and is open to the graduate community. We look forward to seeing you there.
