This month, June 2020, CPT has executed a Design-Assist Contract to install 4.6 MW Gas Turbine CHP Plant at Morristown Medical Center, a part of the Atlantic Health System, located in Morristown, NJ. This project will be the 4th Level 1 Trauma Center and third Solar Turbine Mercury 50 installation in a hospital completed by CPT.
The CHP System will include a natural gas fired Solar Turbines Mercury 50 turbine generator paired with a 13,000 pound per hour Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) supplied by Cleaver-Brooks. A JJ Crewe gas compressor will be utilized to boost the gas pressure for the turbine from ~2psi to 200psi for the combustion process. This system will generate a majority of the steam and electricity for the hospital, increasing their resiliency and reliability to provide critical functions for their patients.
The project will include a Load Management System (LMS) that will allow the system to run in Island Mode and allow the hospital to continue operations if utility power is lost. The LMS will control the supply of electricity during crises and sheds loads during outages so that the system is not overloaded.
In addition to the CHP Plant, the project will remove a number of the utility owned switches and transformers in consolidation of the electrical system. New conduit, cable, and transformers will be installed as part of the consolidation services. By performing these consolidations, in combination with the CHP Plant, will build an overall new and stronger resiliency to the campus.
We are excited to begin this effort with our partners on the team; Holt Construction, PWI Engineering, Inc., Francis Cauffman, Suburban Consulting Engineers, Inc., O’Donnell & Naccarato, Solar Turbines, Cleaver-Brooks, JJ Crewe, and PEECo.
