Assessment of district heating/cooling system potential in Provo City, Utah. Final report, 1981-1982
Provo, Utah owns and operates its electric utility system. The plant is lacking in modern emission controls and is therefore operated at a level of much less than full capacity. Power is purchased from the Utah P and L at wholesale and distributed throughout the city system. The city plant is valuable for peak shaving and standby purposes. Provo's climate experiences extremes of both heat and cold. There are many large heat users as: Brigham Young University, Utah Valley Hospital, the high school, city, county, and federal buildings as well as commercial and industrial users. An elderly housing project recently completed is furnished hot water heat from the city plant. Provo has several alternative heat source possibilities. Better emission controls could be added to the existing boilers to deliver more electricity and heat, a new fluidized bed coal fired boiler and generator could be built, cogenerating district heating by steam or hot water, a waste to energy incinerator has possibilities.
