Cogeneration / Distributed Generation Proposal Oakland University

This proposal aims to turn Oakland University into a national leader in sustainable campus design by implementing a 4.6MW cogeneration system along with micro-turbines, wind turbines, and solar PV arrays. The project, with zero capital cost and significant cost savings, includes a third-party ownership model for wind and a lease for cogeneration, leading to $28 million in savings over 20 years. By significantly reducing the carbon footprint and integrating clean energy into the curriculum, this initiative seeks to attract more students to the School of Engineering and Computer Science, offering new courses in wind power, energy management, and renewable energy. The infrastructure plan also includes a district energy system and the construction of a Platinum-rated green building project for the Human Health Building. The Engineering Center will feature hybrid building design with chilled beams, microturbines, trigeneration, and smart building technologies. This integrated approach combines academics, demonstration, and marketing to inspire the next generation of students in clean energy technologies.

  1. Cogeneration / Distributed Generation Proposal Oakland University

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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
