US General Services Administration Cogen and Chiller Controls Washington, DC

FeedForward has completed the chilled water plant portion of a control system project to provide Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Controls for a central heating and cooling plant for the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. The follow on phase includes the controls for a cogeneration facility which provides power and steam for the chillers along with a tie to the PEPCO grid. The overall Scope of Supply includes:

  1. Supervisory controls for 8 new 2000 ton York chillers to provide chilled water to five Smithsonian Institute buildings and to monitor energy usage by the buildings.
  2. Remote energy metering with ControlLogix processors tied to the main processor via fiber optic to calculate the cost of chilled water for each building.
  3. Supervisory controls for a dual turbine10MW cogen facility which includes boiler controls for a new duct burner for the turbine exhaust gas.
  4. A Synchronization and Load Management panel to provide an interface to the PEPCO grid for power import and export.
FeedForward has installed and tested the new chiller controls and the cogen/boiler controls have been factory tested installed successfully.
