Duke Energy’s Combined Heat and Power system increases Clemson’s grid resiliency, enabling islanding capacity while also creating unique opportunities for bold carbon-reduction studies. In 2019, a 15 megawatt (MW) Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant owned and operated by Duke Energy went online on Clemson’s campus. This CHP system provides South Carolina’s Clemson University with […]
Read MoreWebinar: Bioenergy + Combined Heat & Power Benefits for Municipalities June 17, 1-2:10 p.m. EDT As 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 […]

Between the original system 11 MW CHP system installed in 2012 at Cates Avenue, all told, the university now has a total of 17.5 MW of (CHP). […]
Read MoreClemson University to increase energy reliability with islanding capability, self-healing smart grid A new Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant owned and operated by Duke Energy will generate 15 megawatts (MW) of electricity as early as November 2019. The system will provide South Carolina’s Clemson University with steam, and allow the university to island from […]
Read MoreCombined Heat and Power (CHP) is an efficient and environmentally beneficial approach to generating electric power and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source; typically increasing efficiency up to at least 75% over traditional energy generation. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates the technical potential for combined heat and power applications in Tennessee to be […]
