Cliff Haefke
o Increase overall energy efficiency and reduce utility bill expenditures?
o Reduce carbon emissions?
o Increase energy reliability, decrease reliance on the grid, andsupport grid T&D?
o Show more energy savings and reduce more emissions thancomparably sized PV and wind technologies?
o Support nation’s energy goals and is commercially available today?
The Answer?
CHP6
What technology can…
o Healthcare organizations spend > $6.5B annually
o Every $1 a non-profit healthcare organization saves on energy isequivalent to generating $20 in new revenues for hospitals
o For-profit hospitals can raise their earnings per share 1¢ by reducingenergy costs just 5%
o CHP systems can reduce energy costs and carbon emissions
o CHP systems can maintain hospitals’ power and heat during man- made and natural disasters
o 200+ hospitals operate CHP systems today
o 7 of Top 16 U.S. hospitals use CHP according to US News

US DOE CHP TechnicalAssistance Partnerships
(TAPs)o U.S. DOE CHP Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAPs) originally established in 2001 by U.S. DOE and ORNL to support DOE CHP Challenge (formally known as RACs and CEACs)
o Today the 7 TAPs promote the use of CHP, District Energy, and Waste Heat to Power Technologies
o Strategy: provide a technology outreach program to end users, policy, utility, and industry stakeholders focused on:
– Market analysis & evaluation
– Education & outreach
– Technical assistance

CHP: A Key Part of Our Energy Futureo Form of Distributed
Generation (DG)
o An integrated systemo Located at or near a
building / facility
o Provides at least a portion of the electrical load and
o Uses thermal energy for:
– Space Heating / Cooling
– Process Heating / Cooling
– Dehumidification
CHP provides efficient, clean,
reliable, affordable energy – today and
for the future.

o Sizes TYPICALLY range from 100s of kWs to several MWs (dependingon facility size and usually below 10 MW)
o Common CHP prime mover types in hospitals are reciprocating engines, combustion turbines, and/or steam turbines (mostly fueled by natural gas)
o Most hospital CHP systems are sized for the thermal load requirements with the resulting electric power generated used to first offset the power purchased from the utility grid (excess power can be sold to the utility)
o CHP systems do not replace the need for emergency generator sets to meet the “life critical loads” of a hospital
– Can reduce the number and capacity of the emergency generators
– Can increase the total electric reliability for the hospital
Typical Hospital CHP SystemConfigurations
19Source:
http://www.midwestcleanenergy.org/Archive/pdfs/US HospitalGuidebook_111907.pdf
Emergency Generators
o Minimum requirement, sized to meet “life critical loads
o Hospitals are installing larger generators to protect more and more hospital loads
o Diesel fueled – high emissions & limited amount of stored fuel (hours versus days of operation)
o Not designed or capable of continuous operation for long periods of time – rarely operates
o Financial payback only in times ofemergency
Emergency Generators vs.
CHP SystemsCHP Systems
o Sized to meet thermal or electric loads – operates continuously to meet those loads
o Natural gas fueled – low emissions
o Does not replace emergency generator set for “life critical” loads
o Reduces overall size and capacity of emergency generator sets
o Emergency generator sets become backup to the backup; much higher reliability
o Good financial return

o Reduces energy costs
o Increases energy efficiency, helps managecosts, maintains jobs, etc.
o Reduces risk of electric grid disruptions &enhances energy reliability
o Provides stability in the face of uncertain electricity prices

"We said, ‘Well, if we're going to centralize it all, doesn't it make sense to do a CHP—and generate our own electricity, to reduce our demand load, and then capture the heat of those engines and utilize
all that for heating and/or cooling?' "Charlie Stevenson, Director of Plant Operations
Northwest Community Hospital
"The beauty of this CHP to him was not simply the return for the cogen system, but the fact that these savings would pay for the central energy plant too.”

Energy Systems Group (ESG) raised $13 million funding for design, construction, and installation of the project by creating an owner trust,
which then sold bonds used for financing. In turn, the owner trust contracted with ESG to operate and maintain the CHP system for 25
years.

The independence provided by the CHP system allowed MBMC to continue operation
relatively unaffected during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As soon as power reliability
became a factor MBMC performed a load shed, switched off of the power grid, and
continued operation in turbine-only mode. MBMC was the only hospital in the Jackson
metro area to remain nearly 100% operational. After approximately 50 hours, the power
reliability issue was addressed and MBMC connected to the power grid and returned to
normal operation.

power and, despite most of the businesses in the
surrounding area being without power for several days,
Danbury Hospital still had lights and heat. The CHP facility

“The environment we provide to elderly adults had everything to do with our decision to pursue
power generation. Loss of power isn’t an option.
Lives depend on it.”- Keith Stohlgren, V/P Operations
“We had no power for nine hours one cold, winter day during an ice storm. The loss of power
forced us to take immediate, aggressive measures to ensure the comfort and safety of
our residents.”– Nancy Heald Tolan, Director of
Facilities Management
Ice storm in winter of 1998 knocked out power for 9 hours.• 600 senior residents were
transferred to safety• CHP installed to avoid future
