Secure and resilient energy is critical to the mission of United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) Parris Island, which is summed up by the Depot's mission statement, "We make Marines." To increase the depot's energy resilience, MCRD installed a microgrid that combines several distributed generation sources in a hybrid approach. The microgrid has a 3.5 MW combined heat and power (CHP) ...
The Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system, located at the West Campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), has an electric generating capacity of 21 megawatts and can generate up to 360,000 Ib/hr of steam to provide building heat, domestic hot water, and absorption cooling to the various buildings of the UIC West Campus. At the heart of the UIC West Campus CHP system lies three 7.0 MW ...
District heating—the generation of heat in a central location and distribution of it to local residences, businesses, and industry at greater economies of scale than individual heating systems—plays an important role in helping the transition to clean energy in the fight against climate change. The challenge, however, is that district ...
