The Heartbeat of Campus: MIT's Central Utilities Plant (CUP)

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to advance knowledge; to educate students in science, engineering, and technology; and to tackle the most pressing problems facing the world today. We are a community of hands-on problem-solvers in love with fundamental science and eager to make the world a better place.

The MIT YouTube channel features videos about all types of MIT research, including the robot cheetah, LIGO, gravitational waves, mathematics, and bombardier beetles, as well as videos on origami, time capsules, and other aspects of life and culture on the MIT campus. Our goal is to open the doors of MIT and bring the Institute to the world through video.

There is a phrase I love ever ounce counts.

So I wonder what are the in and out temps for your heated medium through your process, what sort of efficiencies are you hitting, is there a any thermal storage in your systems to act as a battery. Is there any new exotic or unusual designs you plan on testing. Maybe some new looks at intergradeing direct thermal to electric systems useing nanomaterials as a base.

You guys have a hole power plant to play with and test on you have to be looking at something.

Feeling proud to be an alumni! Wish they would get the Tesla power packs for energy storage and investment in renewables, solar, wind.
