华盛顿，宾夕法尼亚州(1月22日. 2022年8月25日——华盛顿 & det365app Center for 能源 Policy and 管理 (CEPM) will host a free webinar “First in the World: An Airport That Generates Its Own Power” at 11 a.m. 2月. 16 as part of its 能源 Lecture Series.
Pittsburgh International Airport last year became the first airport in the world to be completely powered by a natural gas and solar energy microgrid, with the natural gas sourced from Marcellus shale wells drilled on airport property. A microgrid is an independent electricity source that can operate autonomously while 维护ing a connection to the traditional grid.
The project allows the airport to generate 100% of its electricity requirements and will allow the airport to continue operating even if there is a large-scale grid power outage and also save money on energy bills.
The webinar will be presented by Tom Woodrow, P.E., Senior Vice President of Engineering and Intelligent Infrastructure for the Allegheny County Airport Authority; Jeff Nehr, Vice President of Business Development for Peoples Natural Gas; and Jamie Habberfield, Business Development Manager for IMG 能源 Solutions.
The Allegheny County Airport Authority board in 2019 awarded Peoples Natural Gas a 20-year contract to design, 构建, 维护, and operate the microgrid at no cost to the airport, while IMG 能源 Solutions owns and operates the solar component.
The microgrid includes five natural gas-fired generators and nearly 10,000块太阳能电池板, capable of producing more than 20 megawatts of electricity, the equivalent of powering more than 13,000个住宅单位.
