Liverpool University CHP Plant
Source: Clarke Energy
The University of Liverpool has owned and operated a combined heat and power (CHP) plant since 1986. The campus originally generated its required power utilising gas turbines. The energy management team at the campus planned to carry out a major feasibility study, with a view of updating the old turbines. Following an in depth study, the decision was made to move the plants location, build a new boiler house and install a gas engine.
Following the tender process, Clarke Energy was contracted to supply engineer, install and maintain one of GE’s J620 Jenbacher 3.4MWe gas engines. The engine was commissioned in 2009 and currently provides a base-load electricity supply along with heat for the whole of the university campus. Since the engine was commissioned it has run in excess of 8,000 hours per year and provided high levels of availability in excess of 92%, in line with the contracts demand.
