Combined Heat and Power Plant for The Greater Rochester International Airport (GRIA)

The Combined Heat and Power Cogeneration Plant for the airport provides multiple benefits for the airport, county, airport travelers, community at large and county taxpayers. These benefits are realized through energy cost savings, increased power quality and reliability, environmental benefits and stable future energy cost at the airport.

The Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) plant consists of two medium-sized 750-kilowatt engine driven cogeneration units that produce electricity and hot water. The hot water is linked to the existing airport heating system and central cooling system. In this way hot water heat recovered from the cogeneration units is used to not only heat the airport in winter but also, through a special machine - an absorption chiller, provide much of the air conditioning requirements in the summer. The CHP plant will be simultaneously producing most of the airport electricity as well as hot water building heating and building cooling.
