  1. Salvatore Chiarelli Director Of Physical Plant UVM 284 East Avenue, Burlington VT 05405 salvatore.chiarelli@uvm.edu http://www.uvm.edu/~uvmppd

  2. My Background • Brooklyn Technical High School Mech Eng • New York City Technical College • State University of New York At Binghamton • New Jersey Institute of Technology • Machine Tool Industry • Hospital Services Areas • Consolidated Edison Co Of New York • New York City Board of Ed • Union County College • University of Vermont Sal Chiarelli, Director of Physical Plant, UVM

  3. Why is learning about power and energy so important

  4. How Much Energy Do You Use On A Daily Basis

  5. Importance • Air emissions • Other environmental concerns • Global warming • Dependence on foreign fossil fuel • Finite resources • Economy • Cost of living • Cost of Business • Balance • Other

  6. Why Is It Important To UVM Physical Plant Operating Budget FY05- $25.2 Million

  7. What Are Some Of Today’s Issues here at UVM • The growth on campus • Energy costs • Systems are outdated and obsolete • Chilled water is not centralized • Air conditioning is an expectation • Utilities are critical for Research • System reliability

  8. What Can You Do About It • Learn about various types of energy solutions • Educate others • In your careers try to promote energy awareness • Maybe become an engineer • Every little bit helps

  9. U. S. Electricity Generation Fuel Shares 2006 Oil 3.0% Hydro 6.5% Gas 18.7% Nuclear 19.3% Coal 49.7% Other 2.7% Source: Global Energy Decisions / Energy Information Administration Updated: 11/ 06

  10. Kinds Of Energy Production Fossil (Coal, Oil, Gas) Hydro Wind Wood Refuse (garbage) Methane recovery (cow manure, landfill) Pumped Storage Cogeneration The sun Nuclear The wind Geothermal The oceans (tidal)

  11. Power Plants

  12. The powerplant consists of 17 main Francis turbine generators and two Pelton Waterwheel station service units (one for each plant wing). The total plant capacity is 2,079 MW. Hoover Dam

  15. Turbines

  16. Generators

  17. Typical Solar Turbines Cogeneration Unit

  18. Pollution Power Plant (Remote from Users) Conventional Electrical Generation 67% Waste Heat Fuel 100% 33% Electricity

  19. Pollution Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Waste Heat & Mechanical Losses 20% Electricity Fuel 100% 80% Steam Chilled Water CHP Plant

  20. Cogeneration Benefits • Better system efficiency (cost effective) • Savings of millions of dollars over 20 years • Protection from brown-outs • Less overall emissions – Credit for LEED certification • Cage plant space is compatible for a cogen installation • Physically and economically viable • Improves reliability

  21. UVM Wind Turbine Watts in the Wind @ UVM? Campus Renewable Energy Project “See the Need, Take the Lead”

  22. Project Specifics • Modest reduction in campus CO2 output by 3,500 to 5,900 lbs. per year because of the wind turbine. • Due to location specifics, it is estimated that the turbine will generate 3,000 to 5,000 kilowatt-hours which is enough to power an new, energy efficient home for 12 months. The data logger, at the base of the tower, will collect data on wind speed, wind direction and kilowatts produced.

  26. What is tidal energy? Tidal energy is one of the oldest forms of energy used by humans. Indeed, tide mills, in use on the Spanish, French and British coasts, date back to 787 A.D.. Tide mills consisted of a storage pond, filled by the incoming (flood) tide through a sluice and emptied during the outgoing (ebb) tide through a water wheel. The tides turned waterwheels, producing mechanical power to mill grain. We even have one remaining in New York- which worked well into the 20th century. http://www.oceanenergycouncil.com/faqtidal.html
