Abstract

The University of Texas at Austin’s combined heat and power
(CHP) plant has provided reliable, ef ficient, and cost effective utilities
since its inception in 1928. This natural-gas- fired plant currently can
produce up to 110 MW of electricity at 12-kV and 4.16-kV, 1.1 million
lbs/hr of steam at 425 psi, 700°F, and 40,800 tons of chilled water using
electric and steam turbine driven chillers. The system also provides the
campus compressed air and about 9 million gallons per year of demin-
eralized water for building and laboratory use. The system supports a
campus of about 16 million square feet via underground tunnels and
electrical duct banks.
