Curtis Power Solutions, working under Starr Electric and Environmental Air Solutions while collaborating closely with Russelelectric as their gear and ATS supplier, played a critical role on the team that designed and implemented a modular Central Utility Plant (CUP) for the new Capital Region Medical Center complex. The new facility—designed for LEED Silver certification and powered by 21st century technology—replaces the aging 75-year-old Prince George’s Hospital Center in Cheverly, MD.
Curtis Power Solutions was selected by water and wastewater utility titan WSSC Water and PC Construction to provide design services and equipment that will service a new facility that treats biosolids from regional water resource recovery plants. The new Piscataway Water Resource Recovery Facility in Accokeek, Maryland will be finalized in 2024 and will feature a new 4.5 megawatt Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system designed to save customers money and create renewable energy.
Co-generation, also known as Combined Heat and Power (CHP), is the on-site production of multiple types of energy — usually electricity, heat and/or cooling — from a single source of fuel. While co-generation is not a new concept, we are seeing renewed interest in CHP systems as a viable way to make facilities more resilient while reducing energy costs and helping to meet sustainability and emissions reduction goals.
What will your power look like ten years from now? Chances are, you’ve been thinking about incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. Ideally, those sustainable power solutions will not only reduce your carbon footprint but will also put you more in control of your power management.
The rising demand for more reliable energy solutions doesn’t have to be at odds with the increasing need for a cleaner world.
Autonomous electricity networks, or microgrids, combine cogeneration plants, diesel- and gas-powered gensets and renewable sources with batteries and a control system that links up all the elements in an intelligent energy management system that can maintain energy availability. Rolls-Royce is now adding turnkey microgrids from mtu to its current portfolio.
