Princeton, a pioneer in district energy, is on the vanguard of modernization with its initiative to bring most of its 180 buildings onto a more efficient and economical system over the next 10 years.
In the nearly two years since Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey, darkening swaths of the nation''s most densely populated state for days, Princeton University has emerged as a national example of how to
The heart of the Princeton microgrid is the cogeneration plant (center), which was constructed in 1996. The plant produces electricity as well as steam used for heat, hot water and sterilization.
“It was a point of pride to get through this regional crisis and be a place of support, not an additional burden on the community,” said Ted Borer, former director of the Princeton energy plant, a
Generating and distributing power locally, with a microgrid, provides a reliable and cost effective electricity system. When Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey in October 2012, Princeton''s
The Siemens Princeton Microgrid project was designed to address the challenges of decarbonization and distributed energy resilience. Besides increasing energy efficiency of on-campus buildings, the
Princeton''s microgrid–which became well known for riding through Superstorm Sandy more than 13 years ago–has been upgraded with heat pumps and a large thermal storage tank that has boosted
Recognized among the best-in-class microgrids, Princeton''s gas-fueled CHP plant produced the heating, cooling, and electricity for the campus
In October 2012, Princeton University made headlines worldwide when over 8 million electric customers lost power during Superstorm Sandy and the university''s microgrid kept its critical...
Highly-integrated microgrid systems exist today. They offer numerous benefits to the host, local community, and larger grid including: financial, reliability, resilience, environmental, diversified risk,
