UI Steam Power

=Project Goal= Team UI Steam Power is looking to perform a feasibility study on the implementation of a co generation turbine at the University of Idaho Steam Plant. The turbine would use excess steam to create electricity for the grid.

=Team Members=
 * Tao Xing, Advisor
 * Scott Smith, Sponsor
 * Chris Anderson
 * Chad Dunkel

 * Donald Haines

=Background Information=

The University of Idaho Steam Plant first started operating in 1940 with 1 original

=Feasibility Analysis Specifications=
 * Electrical load profiling
 * Thermal load profiling
 * New utility rate structure analysis
 * Unit sizing
