How We Helped The Wave Twin Rinks

The Wave Twin Rinks, is a state of the art facility offering 2 NHL ice rinks, 2 mini rinks, a sports medicine clinic, a dryland training facility and gym and a fully licensed restaurant and bar – overlooking the two main ice pads.

Client:

The Wave Twin Rinks

Completion:

2018

Project Type:

Co-generation Power generation system

Project Overview

ProPhase was hired to install a Co-generation system consisting of 2 x 340 kW MAN gas engines and 1 x 500 kW Cummins diesel engine at Twin Rinks to provide reliable and stable power to the facility, while reducing energy costs and minimizing emissions into the atmosphere.  ProPhase and Burlington Hydro worked together to allow parallel connection to commission generators, eliminating the load bank.

How we helped The Wave Twin Rinks achieve its goals

  • Twin Rinks required a custom-made steel generator building to house the 2 x 340kW MAN CHP engines.
  • CoMap Intellisys was utilized for electrical and engine controls and fully integrated into a custom switchboard, allowing for a small footprint and streamline design
  • A Cummins 500kW diesel engine was housed adjacent in its own enclosure

How we successfully navigated the project in every step

Conducting site visits

Identifying specific baseline and peak power demands from the facility in order to properly size the co-generation system.

Holding planning sessions with Twin Rinks

Making sure project managers and key stakeholders align on project goals, timelines, and expectations.
