Electrical (LEED) system Commissioning
of 3-100KW Wind Turbines
Denton, TX
Owner: University of North Texas System
Construction Cost: $2,000,000
This renewable energy project helped to
qualify the UNT Apogee Stadium for LEED
Platinum, making it the first collegiate football
stadium in the nation to achieve the highest
LEED certification rating.
The wind turbines are grid-tie, thru the local
utility company (Denton Municipal Electric),
with safety settings that exceed the
distributed power interconnection standard
UL 1741.
Rivera’s involvement included: Electrical
design/equipment submittal reviews, system
readiness check lists preparation, periodic site
observation and NETA ATS acceptance testing
witnessing.
Utility Connection Rack
