SUMMARY:CAPER Enhancement Project Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Recent increase in Distributed Generation (DG) has prompted many states\, utilities\, and other stakeholders to improve the methods used to determine the value of DG. In this presentation\, a methodology developed through a CAPER project will be presented. The method is based on the DG valuation studies conducted in recent years. The method includes the most common cost and benefit components considered in these studies\, and adopts a comprehensive method to calculate each component. A realistic case study emulating a large utility will also be presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method. \nPresenters: \n\nNC State University – Dr. Mesut Baran\, Keith DSouza and Autumn Proudlove\n UNC Charlotte – Dr. Badrul Chowdhury\, Dr. Peter Schwarz\, Sumedh Halbe and Micah Thomas\n\nDetails to enter the meeting: \nJoin Webex meeting \nID: 1616272470 \n‪(US) +1 415-655-0002 (toll) \nAccess code: 161 627 247 0

SUMMARY:Webinar: Bioenergy + Combined Heat & Power Benefits for Municipalities
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Bioenergy + Combined Heat & Power Benefits for Municipalities\nJune 17\, 1-2:10 p.m. EDT \nAs more and more cities realize the need for resilience at critical water and wastewater system facilities and others sign on to renewable energy commitments or carbon reduction goals\, the need for creative energy solutions becomes increasingly important. Luckily\, municipalities and local governments have access to a plethora of fuel just waiting to become a clean energy source. \nBy utilizing waste streams through anaerobic digestion or methane capture at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and landfills\, cities and counties can generate electricity and thermal energy using CHP while simultaneously reducing emissions. \nBenefits of CHP at WWTP facilities include: \n\nCost savings for the utility and customers\nEnhanced energy resilience\nSignificant reduction of emissions\nRenewable fuel source\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to the U.S. Department of Energy\, there are only 295 existing wastewater and / or solid waste facilities in the U.S.\, that use biomass as a feedstock. That leaves quite a bit of opportunity for turning waste into energy. For WWTP sites alone\, the technical potential is estimated at 262 MW of power at 1\,303 sites in the U.S.\, according to the Department of Energy​. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHear from two bio-energy CHP end-users in the Southeast: \nIn 2017\, the ​McAlpine Creek​ wastewater facility in Pineville\, NC\, was the state’s first WWTP to install a biogas fueled CHP system. McAlpine uses the process heat and generates renewable electricity and associated credits that are sold to the grid. The site obtained a 20-year zero-percent interest loan from the state of North Carolina’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund​ for the project\, which reduces site emissions by 5\,586 metrictons of CO2e\, annually. \nThe ​Three Rivers Regional Solid Waste Management Authority​ in Pontotoc\, MS\, turns their waste to energy using 2G technology. The power generated (enough to power almost 1\,000 homes annually) supports the local power grid through the Tennessee Valley Authority. The value of emissions reductions is equivalent to 4.7 million gallons of gasoline. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n\nIsaac Panzarella\, Director\, DOE Southeast CHP TAP\nJon McDonald\, Three Rivers Planning & Development District\nWill Rice\, McAlpine Wastewater Management Facility\nSarah Hazel\, Office of Sustainability\, Charlotte\n\nRegister here.
