Makers/Planners - Success Stories
University of Florida
 Completed
in 1994, this state-of-the-art facility provides steam and a unique
teaching facility for the University of Florida, and electricity
for Florida Power customers.
Most
equipment critical to the plant's operation is provided in three
redundant levels. The control system automatically monitors the
performance of the "in-service" level and transfers to one of the
"back-up" levels when necessary. This design was implemented to
maximize plant reliability. The high level of redundancy is very
cost effective because it allows preventive maintenance or repair
to be conducted on most plant equipment without the need to shut
down.
