EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Rev 0.0 Preliminary Engineering document outlines a design for a natural gas metering and
pressure regulating station to be located in Beecher Falls, Vt. The proposed station and
associated pipeline lateral will supply natural gas to a proposed Energy Park in Beecher Falls,
Vt. from the Portland Natural Gas Transmission System (PNGTS).
The report also describes work performed to evaluate potential options for siting and
constructing a Combine Heat and Power (CHP) facility that would provide energy (in the form
of electricity and steam or hot water) to tenants of the Energy Park. A Market Analysis is also
being conducted for the site, but the results of that analysis are not yet complete, and therefore it
is not reflected at the current time in this Rev 1.0 report.
The natural gas station will be installed on a developed site near the PNGTS pipeline tap
location. Northstar Industries, L.L.C. proposes to outfit a two room pre-cast concrete building
with all of the equipment necessary to provide custody transfer quality gas measurement,
preheating and pressure regulation. The facility will be designed to reduce the delivery pressure
from the typical PNGTS operating level of 1,100 - 1,440 psig down to 100 psig. The 100 psig
pipeline lateral pressure will be further regulated at inlets to companies within the Energy Park to
satisfy equipment requirements for each company.
The pipeline lateral will consist of an approximately 2,765 long, direct-buried, 4 diameter
coated steel line. There will also be a 150+/- long crossing of Hall Stream that will require
horizontal directional drilling (HDD) along the proposed pipeline route to the Energy Park.
The final size of the facility will be determined when the economic analysis and electric
generation portions of the study are complete.
Based on the results of the economic analysis it appears that a minimum installed capacity of
approximately 8 MW electrical demand (in addition to thermal products) with a capacity factor
of at least 60% is required for economic viability of the Energy Park. This minimum threshold is
sensitive to perturbations in capacity factor loss of a single typical operating shift by the CHP
host would result in an economic penalty.
Results suggest that for an Energy Park concept to be viable at the study site, a CHP host with a
robust demand will be required.

BASE DESIGN

2.3.1 Mechanical Systems


Metering
The measurement system will consist of a single 2 Instromet 3.5M high pressure rotary meter
run with a 2 bypass. The meter run will include an inlet strainer, 2 inlet and outlet block
valves, and separate pressure and temperature transmitters for both PNGTS and Beecher Falls.

12.1 Mscfh

Minimum flow rates are based upon manufacturers published values at +/- 1% accuracy. A
flow restricting orifice plate will be installed downstream of the rotary meter to prevent the meter
from over-ranging. This plate will be sized to restrict flow through the rotary meter to 90% of its
capacity at critical flow conditions.
Pressure Control and Overpressure Protection
There will be two redundant runs available for pressure control, a primary and a secondary run.
Each run will consist of (2) 2 Grove FlexFlo Model 900TE top entry boot style regulators
configured in an upstream working monitor, downstream worker arrangement. The station inlet
pressure will be reduced down to the 100 psig delivery pressure in (2) stages, and all of the
regulators will feature 20% trim for optimal performance. A 4 emergency shutdown (ESD)
Becker T0 ball valve with pneumatic actuator and remote temperature sensor will provide
tertiary overpressure protection and allow PNGTS to remotely shut in the station. A fire inside
the measurement room will also cause the valve to close automatically. When this valve closes
due to high temperature, it will remain closed until it is manually reset. A token relief valve will
also be included downstream of the ESD valve to relieve any excessive pressure buildup in the
dead end pipeline lateral. All block valves will be double block and bleed ball valves with handwheel or lever operators. All blow downs, gauges, and sensing lines for each run will be
enclosed between the block valves.

Maximum flow rates are based upon the use of non-ribbed boots and 20% capacity Cg values.
The manufacturer recommends that operating conditions should not exceed approximately 85%
of valve capacity at the selected trim level.
Gas Preheat System
The natural gas heating circuit will include a shell and tube heat exchanger, (2) 100% capacity
gas-fired hydronic heaters and (2) 100% capacity circulation pumps. Natural gas will enter one
side of the heat exchanger tube bundle at pipeline pressure, while a 50/50 solution of water and
propylene glycol will enter the shell from the opposite side. The PNGTS RTU will control a
three-way valve via an electronic actuator/positioner to modulate the flow of water/glycol
solution through the heat exchanger. As the gas flows through the tubes, it will be heated to the
level necessary to maintain a 40 F station outlet temperature.
The heaters will be two-stage units, operating to maintain a given water/glycol temperature at
their inlets. The heaters will fire up when their inlet water/glycol solution temperature falls
below the internal aquastat set point. The two stages can be staggered so that each heater will
normally operate on low fire, ramping up to full fire when the demand increases. Backup
aquastats will shut the units off on high temperature and will require manual reset if activated.
Standard IRI burner controls will provide high and low fuel pressure protection as well as double
block and bleed protection. A low water cutoff on each heater will require manual reset. A flow
switch will be mounted on the outlet of each heater to provide shutoff protection at low liquid
flow. Common trouble contact closures will indicate heater problems and send discrete inputs to
the PNGTS RTU.

Civil/Structural and Architectural

Meter Station
The pre-cast concrete building will measure approximately 38 L x 12 W x 10 H and will be
located on a reinforced concrete foundation. Crushed stone will surround the building. A chain
link fence with a 7-foot overall height, including 3 strands of barbed wire on top, will be
installed around the facility perimeter. The fence will have (2) 6-foot wide swinging gates for
vehicle entry and a single 3-foot wide personnel gate with emergency exit hardware.
The buildings high-pressure gas room will be equipped with wall vents and a roof turbine to
facilitate ventilation. Explosion proof lighting will be provided. There will be one set of 5 x 7
double doors to provide access to the metering and regulating equipment and the heat exchanger.
The heater/DAC room will have vents installed to provide adequate combustion air and natural
ventilation. A single set of 5 x 7 double doors will be provided for access to the heaters and the
associated water/glycol solution piping and controls. Adequate general purpose lighting will be
provided for the heater/DAC room. All building doors will be equipped with panic exit
hardware.
Pipeline Lateral
The PNGTS tap location and meter station are proposed to be located on what is believed to be
property of Charles and Amber Bates. The outlet pipeline will leave the meter station in a
northwesterly direction and will travel along the north side of River Road to a point where it is
suitable to leave the roadside and head in a northerly direction across property believed to be
owned by Ethan Allen where there will be a HDD crossing required under Hall Stream. The
pipeline will then turn northwesterly across other properties believed to be owned by Ethan Allen
to a point where it crosses under Route 253. Once across the road, the pipeline will continue
across other properties believed to be owned by Ethan Allen, cross under an abandoned State of
N.H. rail bed and continue across property believed to be owned by Ethan Allen to the propery
where the Energy Park is proposed.

2.3.3 Electrical
The electric service to the meter building will be 240 VAC, single phase, 3-wire, 200 Amp. The
electric meter will be mounted outside the facility fence on a post to provide the power company
with unrestricted access. A site ground grid will integrate the building grounding facilities with
the perimeter fence. Separate uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) will be provided for the
PNGTS and Beecher Falls 24 VDC systems. Each UPS will supply power to specific instrument
and control devices in the event of an outage. A manual transfer switch and weather-tight
receptacle will be provided for connection of a portable back-up generator.
The electric design for the site will be based upon a hazardous designation (Class 1, Div. I) for
the meter room and a non-hazardous designation for the heater/DAC room. Explosion proof or
intrinsically safe equipment will be installed in the hazardous areas. Explosion proof lighting
and outlets will be installed in the meter room. The water/glycol heaters will be wired with
standard non-hazardous fittings and controls. The heaters will require 120 VAC for power.
Fluorescent lighting with low-temperature ballasts will be provided in the heater/DAC room.
Combustible gas detectors will be installed in both rooms for connection to the PNGTS RTU.
The non-hazardous heater/DAC room will contain the electric service entrance at a breaker panel
as well as communications facilities, the RTU(s), and the UPS units. All power and controls for
the site will be distributed from this room.
2.3.4 Communications
It is assumed that PNGTS will utilize satellite communications to relay information back to its
SCADA host facility. It is further assumed that Beecher Falls will utilize a land based dedicated
data line to integrate its RTU into its proposed control network.

STATION OPERATION

To assist in understanding the following Control Philosophy, please refer to the Piping and
Instrumentation Diagram located in Section 7.0.
M
A 2 Instromet rotary meter will measure all gas flowing to Beecher Falls. Beecher Falls
will monitor the PNGTS custody transfer flow calculations and accumulators and will also
perform independent flow calculations and accumulations. SCADA host alarms are
recommended for flows below or in excess of design limits at both PNGTS and Beecher
Falls.
PIT
The meter run will include pressure-indicating transmitters to measure the gas pressure
used by PNGTS and Beecher Falls to convert the actual flow to standard conditions.
An additional pressure transmitter will measure the station outlet pressure. This pressure is
provided for use in monitoring, control, safety interlock, and alarming in the PNGTS RTU
and SCADA host.
TIT
The meter run will include temperature-indicating transmitters to measure the gas
temperature used by PNGTS and Beecher Falls to convert the actual flow to standard
conditions.
Additional temperature transmitters will measure the heat exchanger outlet and station
outlet temperatures. These temperatures are provided for use in monitoring, control, safety
interlock, and alarming in the PNGTS RTU and SCADA host.
Preheat
The station heaters and water/glycol solution circulation pumps will be remotely controlled
via the PNGTS RTU. Local pushbutton control will also be available for the pumps.
Discrete output signals from the PNGTS RTU will be used to start and stop the heaters and
pumps. Alarm contacts in the heater controls will send discrete signals to the PNGTS
RTU in the event of a heater failure.
The station outlet gas temperature will be monitored via a TIT installed in the outlet
piping. The TIT will provide a 4-20 mA analog input signal to the PNGTS RTU.
Utilizing a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm, the PNGTS RTU will control
the positioner on the 3-way valve in the water/glycol system. A 4-20 mA analog output
signal from the PNGTS RTU will be sent to the temperature control valve positioner, and

the valve will modulate the flow of water/glycol solution to the station heat exchanger to
maintain a constant gas outlet temperature.
ESD
The emergency shutdown (ESD) valve will include a Becker actuator and will be
controlled by solenoid valves. The solenoids will provide remote operation via discrete
outputs from the PNGTS RTU to ensure that the Beecher Falls facilities can be isolated
from the new metering facility for servicing or in the event of a pressure regulator failure.
During normal operations of the pressure regulating facilities, the ESD valve will remain
wide open. Limit switches to indicate 0 and 100% open will provide discrete inputs to the
PNGTS RTU.

COMBINED HEAT AND POWER

The Essex Partnership (Essex) worked in collaboration with the Northstar Industries, Inc.
(Northstar) team to assist the Northern Community Investment Corporation (NCIC) in evaluating
the feasibility of developing a natural gas fired Combined Heat and Power (CHP) project as an
integral component of a proposed Energy Park in Beecher Falls, Vermont.
Since a host industry for the site has not been identified Essex tailored its evaluation to focus on
a range of potential CHP installation schemes based on hypothetical load profiles representing a
variety of generic industrial hosts, per discussions with NCIC and a revised Scope of Services
dated May 9, 2011. Based on this approach, an economic feasibility model was developed that
allows NCIC to assess the viability of a range of potential future hosts that could occupy an
Energy Park. The Essex Partnership also developed a simplified screening tool that can be used
by NCIC to quickly screen other potential CHP projects in the region, including smaller, single
host opportunities.
Ultimately, CHPs and other forms of distributed generation can provide significant energy
savings, but need to be carefully designed to match the end users energy profile. In order for
natural gas to contribute to stimulating economic growth, the CHP project must be designed to
provide steam, hot water, and electricity at attractive and compelling prices.

STUDY SITE

The study site is located in


the Town of Canaan,
situated in the extreme
northeast corner of Vermont
(Figure 1). The CanadaUnited States international
border is coincident with the
sites
northern
limits.
Immediately adjacent to the
site is an Ethan Allen
furniture
component
manufacturing facility. Until
recently
Ethan
Allen
employed
a
significant
portion
of
the
local
community. Due to various
factors, the workforce at the Figure 1 Beecher Falls, VT Location Map (study site
Beecher Falls facility was depicted by red triangle)
reduced,
resulting
in
economic hardships to the local area. The Portland Natural Gas Transmission (PNGT) pipeline is
located within 1 mile of the site.

9.1

EXISTING CONDITIONS

The study site encompasses approximately 550 acres of undeveloped (primarily forested) land in
Beecher Falls, Vermont. Within close proximity to the site are the Canada-United States border,
Ethan Allen furniture component manufacturing facility, and the Village of Canaan, Vermont.
To the south of the site the Connecticut River forms the boundary between Vermont and New
Hampshire (USA). Figure 2 depicts existing conditions at the study site relative to significant
nearby features.

Figure 2 Existing Conditions


An initial ecological inventory of the project site was conducted in the Fall of 2011 by Mr. Brett
Engstrom. Site observations on the presence and relative distribution of distinct natural
communities and associated flora and fauna were used to develop a preliminary natural resource
inventory of the property. The inventory identified several potential wetland resources not
identified by State GIS data layers as well as the occurrence of uncommon natural wetland
communities and associated plants.
The dominant natural community on the property is Red Spruce-Northern Hardwood Forest;
common for the region. Additional, less common natural communities identified on the property

include several types of wet-mesic forests and seepage forests.1 Vermont does not recognize
seepage forests in their natural community classification system and there are no formalized
protection standards; however it is likely that they would be treated as wetlands and buffer zones
should be anticipated. The location for development of the Energy Park will need to take these
resources into consideration; the net result is anticipated to constrain siting options.
The ecologist identified a small population of one rare plant (Hayden's Sedge, Carex haydenii) in
the seepage woodland in the east corner of property), along with several other uncommon
plants. The presence of this species will likely require coordination with the Vermont Nongame
and Natural Heritage Program (NNHP) and increase the likelihood that seepage and wet-mesic
forests will be regulated as wetlands. This assumption is due in part to the natural communitys
function of providing habitat for at least one species of rare hydrophytic vegetation qualifying
them for protection under the Vermont Wetland Rules.
Results of the ecological inventory suggest significantly more wetlands may be present than
indicated by available GIS mapping . The exact location and extent of wetland resources should
be determined using field delineation methods outlined by the Army Corps of Engineers. Neither
source identified the presence of on-site floodplains. USGS maps include a small stream
draining the western third of the property toward the Connecticut River. These resources are
discussed in more detail as part of the Initial Constraints Analysis.
According to available topographic data from the State of Vermont (20-ft contour intervals), the
site aspect is generally southeast facing. Although the topographic data is coarse (20-ft contour
intervals), gradients appear to range from moderate to slight, steeper areas appear to be
concentrated on the eastern portion of the site.
The preliminary alignment of a lateral natural gas line to the site will require the new line to
cross Halls Stream (a tributary to the Connecticut River) and associated riparian floodplain
wetlands which are not located within the study site boundary. The crossing is anticipated to be
completed using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD); a construction technique which is
commonly employed for such installations in order to avoid and minimize potential impacts to
sensitive environmental receptors. Construction period protection measures will need to be
developed as more detailed natural resource information and protection requirements become
available.

Seepage forests occur on slight slopes (<15%) and adjacent bottoms where an impervious soil layer (~30 cm deep), such as
marine clay or packed till, forces seepage water near the surface (Maine Natural Areas Program).

INITIAL CONSTRAINTS ANALYSIS

Based on the information outlined above, potential constraints to development include:


The presence, extent and condition of all regulated resources on the site including:
o Wetlands and associated setbacks;
o Significant natural communities (i.e., seepage forests)
o The unnamed stream indicated by GIS mapping;
o Uncommon plant species (identified by the ecologist);
Existing site topography (particularly steep slopes); and
Availability of contiguous buildable area necessary to support an Energy Park. According
to VT GIS data there are also several existing Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) in
close proximity to the preliminary lateral gas line alignment. Additional detail on these
features would be required to identify and evaluate appropriate avoidance strategies.
Figure 3 illustrates all known and potential constraints to development of the parcel. To be
conservative we have assumed that VT ANR would treat seepage habitats and wet-mesic forests
(identified by the ecologist) as wetland resources requiring a 50-ft buffer. These natural
communities and their associated buffers, are designated as Potentially Regulated Wetlands
and depicted in red (as opposed to blue) to help distinguish them from wetlands mapped by VT
ANR and NH DEC

10.0 PRELIMINARY PROJECT CONFIGURATION & BUILD-OUT


The following assumptions were made in evaluating the potential for a CHP project at the
Beecher Falls site:

Greenfield development (i.e. currently undeveloped land);


Installation of a new lateral natural gas line (including crossing of Halls Stream);
Construction of a new 5-15 MW CHP generating facility and appurtenant works;
Primary function of the CHP facility would be to supply electricity and hot water/steam
to currently unidentified host(s), however flexibility to export surplus capacity to the
electric grid would be retained, and;
Concurrent, or future development of portions of the property to accommodate CHP
host(s)

Because the specific host, or suite of hosts is unknown at this time, we could not develop a
detailed project configuration. Rather, we evaluated a range of equipment options reflecting a
range of project capacities. The equipment packages evaluated are described in the following
section. Typical configurations for these equipment options are shown in the Appendix.
To provide an indication of expected land requirements associated with the different options
evaluated, Northstar, working with Essex developed preliminary plan-view drawings the show
how the various equipment packages might be configured on a generic site. These sketches are
shown in the Appendix.

11.0 PRELIMINARY EQUIPMENT SELECTION AND DESIGN BASIS


For the purposes of this study we evaluated installation of five generator sets, in nine
configurations, designed to run on natural gas and provide CHP benefits. Typically combined
heat and power projects are sized and designed to match the load profile of the host. The goal of
this study is to determine the potential benefits of a CHP project at the Beecher Falls site to
attract a new host; the potential load profile of which is not currently defined. In order to inform
the market strategy for attracting an appropriate host, thresholds for CHP capacity and utilization
were evaluated for a variety of installed capacities ranging from 2 MW to 16 MW. Pertinent
details on each alternative evaluated are tabulated below.

Five different equipment packages from Caterpillar/Solar were selected for evaluation based on
their record of performance, reliability, and manufacturer support. A total of nine different
equipment configurations, consisting of single and multiple unit arrangements based on the five
equipment bases were evaluated. Four of the units are combustion turbines, one (Caterpillar
G3520) is a reciprocating engine. The reciprocating engine option was selected due to the
availability of smaller capacity units than are typically available with combustion turbines.
All of the units have the ability to supply electrical and thermal (steam, hot water) products. In
the context of CHP, the primary difference between reciprocating engines and combustion
turbines is the source of the thermal products. In each case, thermal products are derived from
waste heat by-products of electrical generation. However, in a reciprocating engines thermal
products are limited to hot water derived from the engine radiator (jacket water). Thermal
products from combustion turbines are derived from turbine exhaust and can be utilized to
produce steam and/or hot water.
Additional supporting details obtained from equipment vendors are provided as attachments.

12.0 REGULATORY ANYLSIS


There are several policy and guidance documents and programs related to electrical generation in
Vermont. Vermont does not have a prescriptive policy to build in-State generation. The
Sustainably Priced Energy Enterprise Development (SPEED) Program and the State Electricity
Plan both encourage the development of renewable and or high efficiency generation resources
(such as CHP). Forms of encouragement are typically associated with rate structure for project
output through Standard Offer rates for specific generating technologies.
12.1

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Development of a generation facility and associated gas supply line at the study site will require
several regulatory approvals. Assuming the project is engineered to meet the efficiency
eligibility thresholds for VTs SPEED program, we anticipate that the criteria contained in the
regulations outlined below will be considered. In some instances a single regulatory proceeding
will incorporate criteria included in other regulations (i.e., CPG includes wetland review, etc.).
1. Title 30 Section 248, Certificate of Public Good (CPG) - New and modified electrical
generation and transmission facilities must receive a Certificate of Public Good (CPG)
from the Vermont Public Service Board (PSB)2. There are no exemptions that would
avoid having to secure a CPG for the Beecher Falls project. In order to ensure that a
proposed project is economically, environmentally, and socially beneficial to the States
rate payers the PSB evaluates the proposal based on ten criteria. The ten evaluation
categories measure proposed projects against a range of performance criteria that
evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of the project on the general good of
the state, its ratepayers and communities, natural resources, historic properties and
governmental services. Each category has impact thresholds which the PSB uses to gauge
the relationship of the proposal to the applicable permitting criterion. The ten categories
are listed below.
248(b)(1) Orderly Development of the Region
248(b)(2) Need for Present and Future Demand for Service
248(b)(3) System Stability and Reliability
248(b)(4) Economic Benefit to the State
248(b)(5) Aesthetics, Historic Sites, Air and Water Purity, the Natural
Environment and Public Health and Safety
248(b)(6) Consistency with Approved Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)
2

Replacement of existing facilities with equivalent facilities in the usual course of business, and electric generation
facilities that are operated solely for on-site electricity consumption by the owner of those facilities do not require a
CPG.

248(b)(7) Consistency with Electrical Energy Plan
248(b)(8) Outstanding Resource Waters
248(b)(9) Solid Waste Management
248(b)(10) Existing Transmission Facilities
Securing a CPG can be a relatively lengthy and resource intensive undertaking. Because
the process is quasi-judicial, exhibits must be prepared and submitted and testimony
given subject to contested case schedules and procedures developed in accordance with
the requirements of 3 V.S.A. 809 which often requires resource experts.
In addition to preparing for hearings, applicants must be prepared to respond to formal
discovery and evidence submitted by interveners, state and local governmental agencies,
the Department of Public Service (DPS), who serves as the public advocate, and other
interested stakeholders. Technical hearings conducted by the PSB are governed by the
Boards Rules of Practice which apply the Vermont Rules of Civil Procedure and
Evidence; see PSB Rule 2.000. Public hearings conducted under the Section 248 process
represent additional points of exposure and risk.
Conditions attached to a CPG can add significant costs and time to a project, especially if
post-CPG proceedings or compliance filings are required. In the event that other relevant
regulatory approvals (such as a Wetlands CUD) are not in hand at the time of PSB ruling
a CPG can be issued conditionally, contingent upon the receipt of all other necessary
approvals.
2. Clean Air Act, Construction & Operating Permits - The Vermont Air Pollution Control
Division (APCD) of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) implements
the state and federal Clean Air Acts. The APCD issues construction and operating
permits:

Construction Permits - A construction permit, or a determination by the APCD that a


permit is not required, is necessary before a project can be installed, constructed or
modified. Construction permits are valid for the life of the project and are only
reissued if changes are planned for the permitted activity which require a permit
review.
Operating Permits Operating permits incorporate all the air pollution control
requirements a facility is subject to into one document. Operating permits must be
renewed every five years to incorporate any new requirements that may have been
adopted since the original operating permit was issued.

Construction and operating permits are further divided into four categories based
primarily on emission criteria.
3. Clean Water Act Section 404 (Wetlands and Waterways Dredge and Fill Permits) Regulates the placement of dredged or fill materials into wetlands and other Waters of the
United States. A section 404 permit would likely cover activities associated with the
proposed gas line stream crossing as well as any work within the boundaries of wetland
resources located within the limit of disturbance. Depending on the footprint and scope
of the development these activities may be eligible to be covered under Vermonts
Programmatic General Permit (PGP).
4. Vermont Wetland Rules, Conditional Use Determination (CUD) - The Vermont
Wetland Rules identify and protect 10 functions and values of "significant" wetlands and
establish a 3-tier wetland classification system to identify such wetlands. Any activity
within the wetland review area that is not identified or determined to be an allowed use
are considered conditional uses. Allowed and conditional uses are determined
based on the wetland class for each resource area. Conditional uses are only allowed in
significant wetlands or in adjacent buffer zones upon receiving a Conditional Use
Determination (CUD).
5. Vermont Stormwater Rules - The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR)
regulates stormwater discharges to surface waters that are not identified as impaired by
stormwater runoff. ANR issues general permits to a category of projects, rather than on
an individual project basis with certifications of compliance from stormwater consultants.
State-issued general permits include coverage for:

Stormwater discharges from new development and redevelopment, and;


Previously permitted stormwater discharges.

6. Vermont Endangered Species Law - The Vermont Nongame and Natural Heritage
Program (NHHP) provides protection for State listed species and significant natural
communities. The NNHP is similar to the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the
review and consultation process however the species that are legally protected on the
state level reflect the status of populations within Vermont and are therefore different
from the federal listings either in status (endangered or threatened) or overall listing.
While not currently on Vermonts list of threatened and endangered species, C. haydenii
(categorized by a recent site surveys as rare), could trigger requirements for a more

detailed vegetative survey of the area. Additionally, the presence of several seepage
forests and their associated plant communities (which can include relatively uncommon
species), could trigger additional investigations. Depending on the results, project
development could require protection, mitigation and/or enhancement measures.
7. Electrical Interconnection Agreement Requirements for integration with the electrical
grid will be review and negotiated with the local distribution utility (Vermont Electric
Cooperative [VEC]); likely including coordination with the Vermont Electric Power
Company (VELCO). The interconnection agreement will specify the type of electrical
controls and protection necessary to safely interconnect the project. Depending on the
final capacity and local system constraints interconnection may include upgrades and/or
improvements to the distribution system outside of project boundary. The installed
capacities being considered for this site are not anticipated to require review by ISO-New
England.

PRELIMARY OPERATIONAL MODELS

13.1

STAFFING REQUIREMENTS

Proper operations and maintenance of the CHP asset is critical to meeting performance and
availability goals. Specialized maintenance and overhaul work on some CHP components such
as gas turbines and engines are typically carried out by the equipment manufacturer or supplier.
Routine plant checks, lubrication, oil changes, filter changes, etc. can typically be completed by
staff from the CHP host. However, even if the CHP host staff assume responsibility for routine
maintenance proper training of plant operators, maintenance staff, and site managerial staff is
critical.
For our analysis we have included provisions for CHP staffing based on the following

Depending on operating hours, there will need to be enough trained people to provide cover for
shift working, for planned or sudden staff absences, and staff transitions. Training should
include hands-on use of the plant, overall philosophy and purpose of the plant, condition and
performance monitoring, and identifying when specialized technical support is required. Lack of
training can be disruptive to the cost-effective and reliable operation of a CHP plant. As more
information about a potential host becomes available it may be possible to reduce the labor

component of the operations and maintenance requirements if some of these responsibilities can
be taken on by in-house staff.
13.2

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE APPROACH

Air emissions criteria are expected to be the primary driver of environmental compliance
obligations. Typically, VT ANR will permit emission sources based on the anticipated annual
emission profile. The emission profile from any source is determined in part by fuel type,
efficiency of combustion, and post combustion controls. Based on these criteria the VT ANR
will permit a set number of annual run hours for each source in order to maintain acceptable
levels of air quality through control of pollutant loading.
In order to function as a true CHP resource the project will need to operate as a base load
resource (e.g., very few periods of non-operation). Typically, this will increase the anticipated
pollutant loads and could restrict the allowable run hours. In order to allow a generation asset to
function as a CHP and meet VTs air quality protection standards we have assumed that post
combustion emission controls would be required.

14.0 PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ANALYSIS


Two cash flow models were developed as part of the study. The first is a screening tool designed
to provide a rapid economic assessment of various forms of natural gas use/conversion at
existing facilities. The second model is a more refined feasibility model that includes an analysis
of economic performance based on specific input data related to equipment capacity and
performance, capital expenditures, debt structure, operating expenditures, and revenues. The
models can be used in conjunction beginning with potential opportunities being rapidly screened
with the screening tool. Opportunities which appear to produce benefits based on screening
results can then be subjected to more detailed analysis using the feasibility model.
The following provides a brief summary of the more detailed feasibility model developed to
evaluate the viability of an Energy park at the Beecher Falls study site. Additional information
on key assumptions as well as instructions for the use of both the screening tool and the more
detailed feasibility model is provided in the Appendix..
14.1

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY MODEL DESCRIPTION

The Economic Feasibility model is a discounted cash flow analysis tool that evaluates capital
expenditures (e.g., cost to construct), equipment performance characteristics (e.g., heat rates,
capacity), operating expenditures (e.g., cost of fuel and O&M), and revenues (e.g. costs of goods
or services provided). The model uses these key input variables to perform a 30-year cash flow
analysis producing estimates of Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return on an annual basis
on up to nine different alternatives. The Appendix provides a detailed description of the model
structure, a description of key input parameters, and instructions on its use. The actual model
itself is being provided as a separate deliverable.
14.2

MODEL LIMITATIONS

The Economic Feasibility Model is designed to evaluate the economic performance of a CHP
asset at the Beecher Falls study site (Beecher Falls, VT). Results are intended to be used as a
planning tool only; additional analysis is recommended prior to making investment decisions.
The model has the flexibility to evaluate economic performance at other locations given the
appropriate adjustments to key model inputs.

The cash on cash results of nine alternative CHP projects using the financial inputs outlined above and in the Appendix are tabulated
below. Two tables are provided, one showing results assuming simple-cycle operations, and one showing results for a combined-cycle
operation. In a simple-cycle plant, there would be no secondary electrical generation with the steam produced by the plant. In the
combined-cycle case, waste heat is captred and used to produce additional electicial generation. Note that the capacity factor6 for each
alternative was adjusted to identify the minimum thresholds of economic viability where possible.

Capacity factor is a measure of the amount of time that the CHP is operating to provide electrical and thermal benefits. For example a capacity factor of 50%
indicates that the CHP is in operation 50% of the year (or 4,130 hours). A project can only produce revenues when operating, therefore, higher capacity factors
generally improve project economics though increased production and revenues.

14.4.3 Findings
Based on the modeling results shown above, the following trends emerge:

Capacity Factor / Host Demand - For this study project capacity factor was defined as a function of the CHP hosts operating
schedule (e.g., number of shifts and operating days/week). Alternatives 1, 3, and 7 do not produce economic benefits even when
the CHP is available 100% of the time. These alternatives are associated with the lowest installed capacities as well, suggesting
that host demand is a critical driver of overall CHP economics. A CHP host with a robust demand profile (generally >8 MW)
would be required to support an economically viable project .
Economies of Scale Results indicate that multiple units and/or higher installed capacities produce stronger economic benefits.
Using the installed costs ($/kw) as an indicator, it appears that the maximum threshold for installed costs for simple cycle are
less than $1,700 and, less than $2,000/kw for combined cycle. Alternatives with installed costs greater than these thresholds do
not appear to produce economic benefits. This finding reinforces the observation regarding minimum capacity factors noted
above.

DEBT LEVERED RESULTS

completed. Key input assumptions outlined above were retained, with the following additions:
Item
Value
Percent Debt
50%
Interest Rate
5.0%
Term (Yrs)
20
Similar to the cash on cash analysis, the capacity factor for each alternative was adjusted to identify the minimum thresholds of
economic viability where possible. Results of the levered analysis support the findings noted for the cash on cash analysis. In some
cases the minimum capacity factor threshold was lower however project performance is clearly sensitive to this variable and even
minor perturbations from the minimum thresholds may rendor the project uneconomic. Results of the debt levered model runs are
shown in the tables below.

14.5.3 Findings
Based on the results above the following trends emerge:

Capacity Factor / Host Demand Similar to the cash on cash analysis, a CHP host with a robust demand profile (generally >8
MW) would be required to make the project economically viable. The capacity factor for these alternatives ranges from 54-76%,
depending on the alternative. Configurations with higher installed capacities can withstand lower capacity factors and retain
economic viability due to economy of scale benefits.
Economies of Scale Results indicate that multiple units and/or higher installed capacities produce stronger economic benefits.
Using the installed costs ($/kw) as an indicator, it appears that the maximum threshold for installed costs for simple cycle are
less than $1,700 and, less than $2,000/kw for combined cycle. Alternatives with installed costs greater than these thresholds do
not appear to produce economic benefits. This finding reinforces the findings regarding minimum capacity factors (described
above).

15.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of the economic analysis it appears that a minimum installed capacity of
approximately 10 MW and a capacity factor of 76% is required for economic viability of the
Energy Park. This minimum threshold is sensitive to perturbations in capacity factor loss of a
single typical operating shift by the CHP host would result in an economic penalty. This result
suggests that for an Energy Park concept to be viable at the study site a CHP host with a robust
demand will be required. Based on the preliminary Mark Analysis findings (Camoin Associates),
this type of host does not appear to be readily available.
The matrix below summarizes key installed capacity and capacity factor thresholds for each of
the alternatives. The results below are based on a debt levered financing structure.

Based on the results above, Alternatives 1, 3 and 5 do not appear economic in simple or
combined cycle mode. Economic benefits begin to be realized by the balance of alternatives
given the right host profile. Regardless of the operating mode the minimum installed capacity
threshold is approximately 8 MW. With some value engineering and optimization this threshold
may be somewhat lower, however this can not be determined without detailed host demand
profile information.

Capacity factor also emerges as a driver of economic performance. Given the results above, there
appear to be two minimum thresholds at play, the first relative to installed capacity, the second
related to capacity factor. Higher installed capacities enjoy economy of scale benefits in terms of
initial investment allowing for lower capacity factors. Alternatives with lower installed capacities
may also be viable, but require significantly higher capacity factors.
These results suggest that a viable CHP host will have at least one of the following traits:
Simple Cycle CHP Host Threshold:
Require at least 8 MW of electrical demand and operate at a 60% capacity factor.
Combined Cycle CHP Host Threshold:
Require at least 8 MW of electrical demand (in addition to thermal products) and operate
at a 57% capacity factor.

ALTITUDE (FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL)


FUEL USAGE GUIDE:
This table shows the derate factor required for a given fuel. Note that deration occurs as the methane number decreases. Methane number is a scale to measure
detonation characteristics of various fuels. The methane number of a fuel is determined by using the Caterpillar Methane Number Calculation program.
ALTITUDE DERATION FACTORS:
This table shows the deration required for various air inlet temperatures and altitudes. Use this information along with the fuel usage guide chart to help
determine actual engine power for your site.
INLET AND EXHAUST RESTRICTION CORRECTIONS FOR ALTITUDE CAPABILITY:
To determine the appropriate altitude derate factor to be applied to this engine for inlet or exhaust restrictions differering from the
standard conditions listed on page 1, a correction to the site altitude can be made to adjust for this difference. Add 139 feet to the site
altitude for each additional inch of H2O of exhaust stack pressure greater than spec sheet conditions. Add 279 feet to the site altitude for each
additional inch of H2O of inlet restriction greater than spec sheet conditions. If site inlet restriction or exhaust stack pressure
are less than spec sheet conditions, the same trends apply to lower the site altitude.
ACTUAL ENGINE RATING:
It is important to note that the Altitude/Temperature deration and the Fuel Usage Guide deration are not cumulative. They are not to be added together. The
same is true for the Low Energy Fuel deration (reference the Caterpillar Methane Number Program) and the Fuel Usage Guide deration. However, the
Altitude/Temperature deration and Low Energy Fuel deration are cumulative; and they must be added together in the method shown below. To determine
the actual power available, take the lowest rating between 1) and 2).
1) (Altitude/Temperature Deration) + (Low Energy Fuel Deration)
2) Fuel Usage Guide Deration
Note: For NA's always add the Low Energy Fuel deration to the Altitude/Temperature deration. For TA engines only add the Low Energy Fuel
deration to the Altitude/Temperature deration whenever the Altitude/Temperature deration is less than 1.0 (100%). This will give the actual rating
for the engine at the conditions specified.
AFTERCOOLER HEAT REJECTION FACTORS:
Aftercooler heat rejection is given for standard conditions of 77F and 500 ft altitude. To maintain a constant air inlet manifold temperature, as the air to turbo
temperature goes up, so must the heat rejection. As altitude increases, the turbocharger must work harder to overcome the lower atmospheric pressure.
This increases the amount of heat that must be removed from the inlet air by the aftercooler. Use the aftercooler heat rejection factor to adjust for ambient and
altitude conditions. Multiply this factor by the standard aftercooler heat rejection. Failure to properly account for these factors could result in detonation and
cause the engine to shutdown or fail. For 2 Stage Aftercoolers with separate circuits, the 1st stage will collect 90% of the additional heat.
