Abstract
ABSTRACT Innovative approach to designing an integrated packaged and modular hybrid energy plant allows for improved reliability, redundancy and efficiency. Austin Energy, who will own and operate this plant, selected Burns & McDonnell as their packaged plant integrator. Austin Energy has signed an energy services agreement to provide the new hospital with power, chilled water and steam. The plant is the first of its kind in the State of Texas using the CHP module to generate primary power for the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas with the grid providing backup power. The packaged and modular CHP plant will utilize the state-of-the-art Solar Turbines Mercury 50 combustion turbine, which has a simple cycle heat rate efficiency of 38 percent and produces less than 5 ppm NOx and meets the Texas 2005 emission mandate without the need for a catalyst, counting the thermal benefits of steam and chilled water. In addition, the hybrid plant will utilize a heat recovery steam generator, packaged chill...
