Oakwood Replace/Upgrade and Enhance Generators

This project includes providing a standby rated generator system to support the entire electrical distribution system of the Oakwood campus. Also, to satisfy life safety code requirements, emergency battery back-up lighting fixtures will be added to facilities that currently do not have them. The standby generator system will consist of three 500KW natural gas fired generators, a transformer, and automatic transfer switch (ATS) connected in line with the main electrical service entrance. The generator plant will be located outside on concrete pads adjacent to Building 600. Existing generators that are located throughout the campus in individual buildings shall be disconnected and abandoned for future demolition. Generators at buildings 501 and 600 shall remain and the associated automatic transfer switches will be modified to become manual transfer switches. Also, the existing "load shed" control of one chiller at building 501 will be removed such that both will operate during an outage. The generator system shall be capable of producing 1,500KW (1,875 KVA) - 2,255A at 480V, 3-phase. The new generator plant area and equipment will be designed to accommodate future additions of generators to increase capacity if needed.
