Manti Power2021-07-01T21:11:48+00:00
# MANTI POWER
In 2020, Wheeler Power systems upgraded the 33 year old Manti Upper Hydro plant in Manti Canyon.
## Cleanest and least expensive base load generation
Utility owned micro hydro is one of the cleanest and least expensive base load generation assets. Our utility customers rely on a number of hydro generating facilities like this one to help maintain the diversity of the system, providing local, firm baseload power to help firm the renewables on the system.
This is a run of the river hydrogeneration plant with 1MW capacity. It provides power to UMPA for its member cities of Manti, Nephi, Spanish Fork, Levan, and Provo.
Wheeler Power Systems reconditioned the turbine and generator and provided new hydraulics, added security with offsite surveillance, a state-of-the-art fire protection system, new switchgear, integration with UMPA’s existing SCADA system, and remote control and monitoring from their dispatch center.

Provo Power2021-07-14T17:11:52+00:00
# PROVO POWER
After 75 years in business, Provo Power, a member of the Utah Municipal Power Agency (UPMA), wanted to upgrade its outdated equipment for more environmentally friendly power generation. Wheeler Power Systems installed five clean-burning Cat G3520H natural gas generator sets, reducing plant emissions by 97 percent.
## 75 YEARS IN BUSINESS
Provo Power, a member of the Utah Municipal Power Agency (UMPA), operated a power plant that served their community for over 75 years. However, the former plant was contributing to air quality issues in the Utah Valley. Provo needed a solution that would help reduce emissions for over one million residents.
Opting for a fresh start, Provo Power teamed up with Cat® dealer Wheeler Power Systems to create a new, state-of-the-art plant. Powered by five Cat G3520H generator sets, it yields more power (13 MW) annually than the previous structure and is considered the cleanest burning natural-gas-fired power plant in the state.
During high demand hours, the plant allows for peak shaving, reducing power consumption and costs by between 10 and 30 percent. It also provides black start capability for power outages. Wheeler ensures that gensets are ready to run at all times, delivering continual maintenance and technical support.
“UMPA made a commitment to use the cleanest emission control technology and install the most efficient generating equipment in order to meet the needs of its customers,” says UMPA power resource manager Kevin Garlick. “Overall, the new plant reduces emissions by 97 percent, representing a quantum leap from the former facility.”
Our gas generator sets are made to run with fuel-flexible options. Engineered for high efficiency and low life-cycle costs, our products meet numerous global emission standards.

City of Santa Clara2020-06-02T20:51:30+00:00
# SANTA CLARA POWER
4 MW of power for utility peak shaving to meet increased seasonal loads and increased
capacity for emergency power reserves
### POWER NEED
Santa Clara is a small but growing community near St. George in southern Utah. The city’s population grew more than 30 percent from 2000 to 2006. This was due to a booming economy driven by a favorable climate, affordable housing market and proximity to growing metropolitan areas such as Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. Such dramatic growth resulted in a strain on power resources felt by the municipality, businesses and residents.
### SOLUTION
Santa Clara contracted Wheeler Power Systems to handle the powerhouse design and build. The Santa Clara facility was built out to accommodate immediate delivery of two G3520C natural gas generator sets. The generator sets, rated at 2,055 ekW at 1,800 rpm, operate together with paralleling switchgear rated at 12,470 V. The power is then increased to 69,000 V by an outdoor transformer before connecting to the distribution lines.

Snowbird Expands Sustainability Initiatives by Selecting Wheeler Power Systems to Design and Build High-Efficiency 5.3 MW Cogeneration System from Caterpillar
## SNOWBIRD’S CHP PLANT – PROVIDED BY WHEELER POWER SYSTEMS
A cogeneration system, also referred to as a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant, is a locally sited, highly efficient energy system that produces electricity and heat from natural gas while reducing energy loss and pollution. In a conventional power plant, 60% of the energy produced is wasted when the heat generated by the engines is allowed to dissipate, and only about 40% of the energy is used as electricity. However, Snowbird’s new CHP plant captures and utilizes this heat, piping it underground to heat the resort’s facilities, eliminating the waste and increasing the system’s efficiency to 85%!
!Wheeler Power Systems designed and built the new state-of-the-art cogeneration system. The system features three synchronized and paralleled Cat natural gas generator sets, multiple new Cat switchgear lineups, high-efficiency boilers, heat exchangers, pumps, control valves, advanced emissions reduction systems, cutting edge electronic controls, and a new building management system. The generation plant is housed in a new 8,700 square foot building that is engineered to withstand the notoriously harsh winter conditions in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Additional componentry of the system spans three buildings and a ½ mile of the Snowbird campus. The entire system is operated from a single centralized control platform. Continuous collaboration with Snowbird and the engineers, architects, and contractors on the project resulted in one of the most technically advanced and precisely coordinated CHP plants in the nation.
Wheeler Power Systems is thrilled to enter the next phase of our 30+ year relationship with Snowbird with the launch of this landmark project.
### Cogeneration and Trigeneration Capabilities from Caterpillar
Facilities can reduce operating costs by implementing a Cat cogeneration combined heat and power (CHP) system or a trigeneration system incorporating cooling. This enables the units to simultaneously provide power for electrical loads as well as thermal energy for a facility’s heat and cooling requirements. Any Cat natural gas-fueled engine can be configured to support facility processes or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) requirements. While the combination of grid power and traditional boilers for thermal energy offers less than 50% energy efficiency, CHP systems from Caterpillar can provide total energy efficiencies of up to 90% or more. This allows customers to save on energy spending, provide autonomy of supply and reduce emissions. Caterpillar delivers innovative power systems engineered for exceptional durability, reliability, and value. The company offers worldwide product support, with parts and services available globally through the Cat authorized service and dealer network. In addition, dealer technicians are trained to service every aspect of Cat equipment.

Springville Power2020-06-02T21:56:15+00:00
# SPRINGVILLE CITY POWER
The Springville Power Plant was a turnkey operation provided by Wheeler Power Systems.
In 2016 Springville Whitehead Power Plant bought two Caterpillar 3520Hs. These were retrofitted into the space left by the EMDs and took advantage of the existing plant infrastructure while meeting the goals of improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
Springville City is a member of the UAMPS organization,
During the early years, most of the energy required within the city was generated through the hydroelectric facilities that operated on the water sources in the Hobble Creek and Spring Creek Canyons. Since those days, the City has entered into numerous contracts, agreements, bought resources and constructed additional generation. The City’s increased load requirements naturally required additional transmission, substation, and distribution infrastructure to provide for the power needs of the city residents, businesses, municipal facilities and other power customers
