Energy technology demoNstration facility
An Energy Technology Demonstration Facility (ETDF) is being developed at King County’s new wastewater treatment facility near Woodinville, WA. The 114 acre includes a former brownfield site, redeveloped for industrial use.
This project site has many important features
An 8400 sqft Energy Technology Demonstration Facility
The 170 million gallons per-day Brightwater wastewater treatment facility
A Regional Community Environmental & Energy Education Center (Center)
A 72 acre public Environmental Park
The objective of the ETDF is to provide a versatile platform for researchers and manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest to ‘beta-test’ a wide variety of near, or commercially ready, equipment using methane gas from the plant as fuel, as needed.
The ETDF is designed for companies and vendors to test, monitor, and demonstrate various types of equipment, including:
1- Biogas reformers, digester gas processing and utilization equipment
2. Electrical and thermal generation. Devices include Stirling engines, fuel cells, micro-turbines, and small reciprocating engines.
3- Electrical and thermal storage. Includes batteries, flywheels, hydrogen gas reformation and storage, and a variety of UPS devices.
4- ‘Smart’ Grid technologies. Inverters, power ‘quality’ devices, and micro-grid monitoring systems and software.
The project will help provide a ‘how-to’ template for organizations wanting to incorporate similar equipment into their own infrastructure, and will serve as a model for other existing and yet-to-be-developed “biogas” opportunities in the region.
The ETDF design is estimated to be complete by May 2009.
Construction cost is presently estimated at $1.6M.
Project team includes: King County, Friends of the Hidden River, Cascade Power Group, Ingersoll-Rand, Capstone Corporation, McKinstry Company, and many others.
We are currently seeking partners for this exciting project. Please contact us if you are interested in participating!
Training and Education: The project team is developing a long-term agreement for student interns at the site to enable ‘cutting edge’ technologies to be incorporated into engineering and energy-related curriculum and coursework, both at the high-school and collegiate-level. ETDF devices will be also be displayed to students and the general public to help increase demand for these products, and provide additional economic development to the region.
Project Support and Commitment: The project team is gathering letters of support for this project and letters of commitment from vendors and potential ‘tenants’ who have an interest in using the facility to research, develop and display their products.
