RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The RP-5 REEP, with its configuration and features is considered one of the most innovative and unique projects in the U.S. The RP-5 REEP was thoroughly thought out and executed from inception to completion with the goal of making renewable energy projects affordable in California and the U.S. and transferable to other public agencies and private industry. The Agency worked vigorously from day one with the leading experts in the renewable power generation field to ensure that this project meets the goals set forth with no environmental impact and significant clean air/water quality benefits. Based on the engine-guaranteed data provided by the engine manufacturer, Caterpillar, the engine efficiency when converting gas to electricity at full load is 35.9%. Also, when combining the heat recovery from the engine jackets and engine exhaust, the thermal efficiency is approximately 36%; therefore the total combined engine efficiency is in the order of 72%, which exceeds the project goal efficiency of 65% as stated in the Agreement. Moreover, the project control system allows the exhaust heat to be utilized for additional power generation via the ORC unit when the heat demand for the absorption serving the cooling water system for the platinum-LEED headquarters is low. In order to maximize and optimize performance, the Agency designed and installed the Thermal Energy Storage system, which generates about 65,000 gallons of chilled water during the night (off-peak period with lower energy costs) for use during the day (on- peak period with higher energy costs) for the headquarters cooling. This design lowers the heat demand of the absorption chiller during the day, and exhaust heat can be diverted to the ORC for additional power generation. ORC system efficiency is about 10%; however, ORC operation is based on waste heat recovery from engines exhaust which has to be wasted anyway. Heat recovery to absorption chillers has a priority over the ORC during the day in order to provide the needed chilled water for building cooling. If excess exhaust heat is not recovered and utilized buy the ORC, it will be dumped into the plant secondary effluent cooling water system. Reliability, flexibility, and optimum performance are the main benefiting features of the RP-5 REEP. The engines use biogas derived from dairy manure processing as the primary fuel. Dairy manure is collected from six (6) dairy facilities in the Inland Empire area, which is then processed at the RP-5 Solids Handling Facility (RP-5 SHF) to produce biogas. The RP-5 SHF is designed to treat 615 wet tons of manure per day, and 90 tons of food waste per day, to produce about 3 MW using the RP-5 REEP power generation system. Collecting manure from the dairy facilities help clean the environment in two ways. First, when removing manure from the ground reduces emissions to the atmosphere and improves air quality. Secondly, preventing manure and acidic water from leaching into the ground protects the ground water from contamination. An environmental study performed by a professional consultant, Environmental Resources Trust, Inc. revealed the following average emission reductions: Methane (CH4): Nitrogen Oxides (NOx): Ammonia (NH3): 74 tons/year 21 tons/year 164 tons/year Page 15 of 18PDF Image | RP-5 Renewable Energy Efficiency Project (REEP)
