A brief description of co-generation technologies deployed:
Our performance year is 2010. Co-Generation is basically producing two forms of energy from one. In our case we use natural gas as the fuel to power a turbine (stationary jet engine) whose spinning shaft turns a generator and produces 40% of the electricity for the campus. The hot (1200 *F) exhaust gases from the turbine enter a water tube boiler and produce steam, which is used to heat the campus buildings and domestic water.
