Implementation

Implementing Perfect Power at IIT will occur in four phases over five years.
This timeline began in December 2008 and will continue through 2013.

A description of each phase is as follows:

PHASE I Improve overall energy efficiency of the IIT campus and the reliability of the ComEd supply system.	PHASE II Modify existing IIT turbines for fast start capability; add additional generation capability and install advanced building meters; to allow IIT to earn revenue for demand response and ancillary services.	PHASE III Create a redundant and intelligent distribution system that interfaces with a dynamic campus-wide energy system controller to ensure continuous service to IIT buildings.	PHASE IV Provide local uninterrupted power supplies, solar power, and the final version of the Intelligent Perfect Power Controller that will optimize building operating efficiency and reliability, demand response revenues, and ancillary services.
