Also shown is the 500, 000-gallon raw water storage tank on the right and the 500, 000-gallon demineralized water storage tank on the left. Estimated fuel consumption for the plant is 3, 500 million standard cubic feet per year of natural gas and approximately two million gallons per year of ultra-low-sulfur fuel oil. He studies customer dynamics of electrification, solar, energy storage, energy efficiency and demand response, including economics and integration into utility forecasting and modeling. Your organization may already have programs in place that count towards your certification process. Adam received his Bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering and a Masters of Electric Power System Engineering from North Carolina State University and is a licensed Professional Engineer. In this role he is responsible for driving the development of new business strategies as part of the energy industry's transition. Previously, he was a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) where he served as the founding director of the Photonics Technology Laboratory (PTL). Over a 10-yr period, this would save almost $60, 000. Kris Eisenrieth is the station manager of Duke Energy's Buck Combined Cycle Facility as well as the Lincoln and Mill Creek Combustion Turbine Stations. Hisham continues his journey advising clients on prudent investment options in energy storage. From 2008 to 2010, we replaced over 570 prefilters in the RO system at a cost of more than $25, 750. David is also one of the core developers of the Solar Forecast Arbiter, an open-source tool for evaluating forecasts. Spartanburg Water, Main Office.
The PWPS FT8 natural gas–fired CT was the logical selection because of its many advantages, outlined below. Two-unit availability has been 99. He joined UNC Charlotte in 2016 and has been conducting research in renewable energy and power electronics areas, including power electronics for utility applications, ocean wave energy and wide bandgap device power converters. By using demineralized water in the RO, we expect the life of the membranes to nearly double. Dr. Kumar Venayagamoorthy – Clemson University / Professor. Wind power capacity of 150 MW is connected to this system. Additionally, Hisham held leadership roles with global technology providers, ABB and GE, in the US and Internationally, delivering pioneering Network Management and Infrastructure solutions. Contact us at to request customized signs that include your company's logo and our WAIT partner logo! A first cut reduced the dozen sites to a final four. Hisham Othman – Quanta Technology / VP, Transmission and Regulatory Consulting. Wastewater produced at the plant is primarily reverse osmosis reject water that is transported to the City of Anaconda's wastewater treatment plant via a 2-mile-long sewer line (Figure 4). A more definitive list of 35 selection criteria was then developed to assess the four sites. Mr. Oliver received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and earned his master's degree in business administration from the University of South Florida. The Mill Creek Combustion Turbine Station near Blacksburg is a 640-megawatt oil- and natural gas-fired plant that is expected to supply electricity to customers in the Carolinas beginning in mid-2003.
Bison Engineering, located in Helena, Mont., prepared the air permit. He was Senior Vice President of ERIN Engineering and Research, and was an engineer with Duke Energy. With this one tie, it was made possible to pull from the demineralized tanks, cross into the makeup water line, supply the RO, and then discharge the newly circulated and cleaned water back into the demin tanks. She is a graduate of Stanford University (A.
Xiao is the recipient of a number of prestigious awards including the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program (YIP) Award in 2006, the R&D 100 Award in 2004, and the Virginia Tech Outstanding Achievement Award in 2003. At this time, IndustryNet only serves specific global regions. Opportunities for new partnerships with community groups including schools, civic organizations, and conservation groups. Natural gas is the primary fuel for the plant, with fuel oil as a secondary fuel source. Xiangqi Zhu (IEEE Senior Member) received her PhD in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University in 2017 and her B. in electrical engineering from Shandong University, China, in 2013. D. degree in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech in 2000. Dr. Xiangqi Zhu – NREL / Researcher. Dan works closely with the Fuels & System Ops group and Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) staff over the 6 states that Duke provides regulated power generation. He holds a BASc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada. The eight-unit, combustion turbine plant is designed to operate as a peaking plant, providing electricity primarily during the periods when customers use of electricity is at its greatest - the hottest parts of summer days and the coldest parts of winter days. Consequently, before building DGGS, NWE relied on several short-term contracts for balancing power, also called ancillary services, to balance on a moment-to-moment basis the differences between scheduled electric supply and demand within its assigned region. Corval Group was the EPC Contractor for the design, construction, and start-up of this 150 MW natural gas-fired power plant.
After planning and siting the project, excavation to access and modify the existing piping system began. She has worked for DEP full time since she graduated with an MSEE from NCSU December 2014. Her projects include the Interlock House built for the 2009 US DOE Solar Decathlon, the Iowa NSF EPSCoR building science plank 2011 to 2016, and the Sustainable Cities Research Group, founded 2015 at ISU to expand her research towards urban environmental modeling is currently funded by a $2. With the recirculation option, demineralized water is the primary water going through the RO system. The turbine selection process began in January 2008 and ended in July 2008 when an agreement was reached with Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (PWPS) for three Swiftpacs, based on the FT8 combustion turbine (Figure 2).
We expect that recirculation will reduce the need to replace the prefilters in the RO by 90%. He is currently a Professor with NC State University, Raleigh. Degree in electrical engineering from NC State University in 2010. 5 mio NSF INFEWS grant (with PI Jan Thompson). The plant has served as a reliable replacement for third-party contracts for regulation service by consistently meeting a monthly control performance standard (CPS2) greater than 90%, the required reliability standard (Figure 5, p. 60).
