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

What Are the Benefits of CHP?
• CHP is more efficient than separate generation of electricity and heating/cooling
• Higher efficiency translates to lower operating costs (but requires capital investment)
• Higher efficiency reduces emissions of pollutants
• CHP can also increase energy reliability and enhance power quality

• 82.7 GW of installed CHP at over 4,400 industrial and commercial facilities
• 8% of U.S. Electric Generating Capacity; 14% of Manufacturing
• Avoids more than 1.8 quadrillion Btus of fuel consumption annually
• Avoids 241 million metric tons of CO2 compared to separate production

Infrastructure Resilience
• A key principle of disaster preparedness and planning
• Ability to maintain operation despite a devastating event – business continuity
• CHP (if properly configured): Offers the opportunity to improve CI resiliency Can continue to operate, providing uninterrupted
supply of electricity and heating/cooling to the host facility

Critical Infrastructure and Resilience Benefits of CHP
“Critical infrastructure” refers to those assets, systems, and networks that, if incapacitated, would have a substantial negative impact on national security, national economic security, or national public health and safety.”Patriot Act of 2001 Section 1016 (e)
• Applications: Hospitals and healthcare
centers
Water / wastewater treatment plants
Police, fire, and public safety
Centers of refuge (often schools or universities)
Military/National Security
Food distribution facilities
Telecom and data centers

CHP Design for Reliability
• One estimate states that over $150 billion per year is lost by U.S. industries due to electric network reliability problems
• CHP systems designed for reliability will incur additional costs ($45 -$170/kW depending on complexity of system)
• These additional costs however provide important reliability benefits to the site, and to the community at large

CHP versus Backup Generation
• CHP provides continuous benefits to host facilities, rather than just during emergencies
• CHP can result in daily operating cost savings
• CHP offsets capital costs associated with investments in traditional backup power

CHP Backup Generation
System Performance
• Designed and maintained to run continuously• Improved performance reliability
• Only used during emergencies
Fuel Supply • Natural gas infrastructure typicallynot impacted by severe weather
• Limited by on-site storage
Transition from Grid Power
• May be configured for “flicker-free” transfer from grid connection to “island mode”
• Lag time may impact critical system performance
Energy Supply• Electricity• Thermal (heating, cooling, hot/chilled water)
• Electricity
Emissions
• Typically natural gas fueled• Achieve greater system efficiencies (80%)• Lower emissions
• Commonly burn diesel fuel

Uninterrupted Operation Requirements
• Black start capability Allows the system to start-up independently from
the grid
• Generators capable of grid-independent
operation The system must be able to operate without the grid power signal
• Ample carrying capacity System size must match critical loads
• Parallel utility interconnection and switchgear controls The system must be able to disconnect from the grid, support critical loads, and
reconnect after an event

Critical Infrastructure Texas CHP Legislation
• Critical Infrastructure Legislation: TX HB 1831 and HB 4409 – passed in 2009
TX HB 1864 passed in 2013 – requires SECO to develop guidelines
• Requires all critical governmental facilities to formally consider the feasibility of implementing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology prior to: New construction or extensive renovation
Implementation cost is $2 million or more, based on the initial cost estimate. (34 TAC Chapter 19, Subchapter C, Rule 19.33)

What is a Texas Critical Facility?
• A critical facility :
Is owned by the state or a political subdivision of the state;
Serves a critical public health or safety function throughout a natural disaster or other emergency situation, even when a widespread power outage may exist for days or weeks;
Is continuously occupied and maintains operations for at least 6,000 hours each year; and Has a peak electricity demand exceeding 500 kilowatts.
