Cogeneration / Distributed Generation Proposal Oakland University

Clean energy infrastructure to attract and educate the next generation of engineering students While becoming a national leader in sustainable campus design Zero capital cost accompanied by improved infrastructure AND cost savings

Need to replace Boiler #4 Need additional backup power Propose 4.6MW cogeneration Combine with 400kW micro-turbines in the new Engineering Center 2.1MW wind turbine Future 1MW solar PV array Combine with existing campus solar PV: 10kW on Student Apartments, 50kW on HHB, 40kW on Engineering Center

No capital cost required, only energy cost savings Third party ownership and PPA for wind ($1.8M savings over 20 years) Third party lease for cogeneration ($28M savings over 20 years) $12M investment of private funds Significantly reduce carbon footprint Attract more students Integrate into School of Engineering and Computer Science curriculum New wind power course New energy management course Existing renewable energy course
