What technology can…
o Increase overall energy efficiency and reduce utility bill
expenditures?
o Reduce carbon emissions?
o Increase energy reliability, decrease reliance on the grid, and
support grid T&D?
o Show more energy savings and reduce more emissions than
comparably sized PV and wind technologies?
o Support nation’s energy goals and is commercially available today?
The Answer? CHP
6
Why CHP in Hospitals?
o Healthcare organizations spend > $6.5B annually
o Every $1 a non-profit healthcare organization saves on energy is
equivalent to generating $20 in new revenues for hospitals
o For-profit hospitals can raise their earnings per share 1¢ by reducing
energy costs just 5%
o CHP systems can reduce energy costs and carbon emissions
o CHP systems can maintain hospitals’ power and heat during manmade and natural disasters
o 200+ hospitals operate CHP systems today
o 7 of Top 16 U.S. hospitals use CHP according to US News

US DOE CHP Technical
Assistance Partnerships (TAPs)
o U.S. DOE CHP Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAPs)
originally established in 2001 by U.S. DOE and ORNL to
support DOE CHP Challenge (formally known as RACs and
CEACs)
o Today the 7 TAPs promote the use of CHP, District Energy,
and Waste Heat to Power Technologies
o Strategy: provide a technology outreach program to end users,
policy, utility, and industry stakeholders focused on:
– Market analysis & evaluation
– Education & outreach
– Technical assistance

policymakers
o
President Obama signed an Executive Order to
accelerate investments in industrial EE and CHP on
8/30/12 that sets national goal of 40 GW of new
CHP installation over the next decade
o
State Portfolio Standards (RPS, EEPS,
Tax Incentives, Grants, standby rates, etc.
DOE / EPA CHP Report (8/2012)
o Favorable outlook for natural
gas supply and price in North
America
o Opportunities created by
environmental drivers
o Energy resiliency and critical
infrastructure

Typical Hospital CHP System
Configurations
o Sizes TYPICALLY range from 100s of kWs to several MWs (depending
on facility size and usually below 10 MW)
o Common CHP prime mover types in hospitals are reciprocating
engines, combustion turbines, and/or steam turbines (mostly fueled by
natural gas)
o Most hospital CHP systems are sized for the thermal load requirements
with the resulting electric power generated used to first offset the power
purchased from the utility grid (excess power can be sold to the utility)
o CHP systems do not replace the need for emergency generator sets to
meet the “life critical loads” of a hospital
– Can reduce the number and capacity of the emergency generators
– Can increase the total electric reliability for the hospital

HospitalGuidebook_111907.pdf
Emergency Generators vs.
CHP Systems
Emergency Generators
o Minimum requirement, sized to
meet “life critical loads
o Hospitals are installing larger
generators to protect more and
more hospital loads
o Diesel fueled – high emissions &
limited amount of stored fuel (hours
versus days of operation)
o Not designed or capable of
continuous operation for long
periods of time – rarely operates
o Financial payback only in times of
emergency
20
CHP Systems
o Sized to meet thermal or electric
loads – operates continuously to
meet those loads
o Natural gas fueled – low emissions
o Does not replace emergency
generator set for “life critical” loads
o Reduces overall size and capacity
of emergency generator sets
o Emergency generator sets become
backup to the backup; much higher
reliability
o Good financial return
CHP Benefits to Hospitals
o Reduces energy costs
o Increases energy efficiency, helps manage
costs, maintains jobs, etc.
o Reduces risk of electric grid disruptions &
enhances energy reliability
o Provides stability in the face of uncertain
electricity prices

"We said, ‘Well, if we're going to centralize it all, doesn't it make sense to do a CHP—and generate our
own electricity, to reduce our demand load, and then capture the heat of those engines and utilize all
that for heating and/or cooling?' "
Charlie Stevenson, Director of Plant Operations
Northwest Community Hospital
"The beauty of this CHP to him was not simply the return for the cogen system, but the fact that these
savings would pay for the central energy plant too.”

Energy Systems Group (ESG) raised $13 million funding for design,
construction, and installation of the project by creating an owner trust,
which then sold bonds used for financing. In turn, the owner trust
contracted with ESG to operate and maintain the CHP system for 25 years.

The independence provided by the CHP system allowed MBMC to continue operation
relatively unaffected during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As soon as power reliability became
a factor MBMC performed a load shed, switched off of the power grid, and continued
operation in turbine-only mode. MBMC was the only hospital in the Jackson metro area to
remain nearly 100% operational. After approximately 50 hours, the power reliability issue
was addressed and MBMC connected to the power grid and returned to normal operation.

During the storm, the facility operated without any loss of
power and, despite most of the businesses in the
surrounding area being without power for several days,
Danbury Hospital still had lights and heat. The CHP facility
enabled the hospital to be fully functional during the storm
and continued conducting business and providing the
critical and necessary health care for patients.
