A new 7MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit was built at the Penn State West Campus in 2021. The team will collect historical operating data of the CHP unit and evaluate the performance of Gas turbine and Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). The objective is to compare the current operation with the original design to identify any performance shortfall and/or degradation through the three years operation. The engineers from Worley will provide the necessary guidance to the students to conduct the assessment. The final deliverables will be a presentation and a report.
