(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)FERC regulations that enacted section 210 of PURPA established that electric utilities must purchase power made available by small independent power producers at a price equal to the utility’s avoided cost. Promulgated ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)The commercial or industrial firm contemplating cogeneration at its facilities faces numerous basic design choices. The possibilities exist for fueling the system with waste materials, gas, oil, coal, or other combustibles. ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)Thermionic energy converters convert high-temperature heat into high-current low-voltage direct current, rejecting heat at a temperature that is high enough to generate process steam. Electrochemical cells are high-current ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)Everyone is praising the daylights out of cogeneration these days. And while it may be the best energy system design, there are numerous questions that should be asked before anyone jumps on the bandwagon. We are ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)This paper reviews the rationale for cogeneration and basic turbine types available. Special considerations for cogeneration in conjunction with solid waste firing are outlined. Optimum throttle conditions for cogeneration ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Cogeneration is receiving increasing attention because of its potential for efficient utilization of energy. Many recent cogeneration studies, however, have concentrated on the benefits and costs of cogeneration to industry, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)Cogeneration may be described as an efficient method for the production of electric power sequentially with process steam or heat which optimizes the energy supplied as fuel to maximize the energy produced for consumption. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)This paper presents an overview of General Motor's energy efficiency program over the past decades with special emphasis on current activities and a crystal ball look into the future. Included is a description of the ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)The Department of Energy (DOE) in their Industrial Programs Office in Conservation and Solar Applications is involved in development and commercialization of a number of energy conserving techniques. These include high and ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)High quality energy exhaust streams from U. S. industrial plants are estimated to have an energy equivalent of 2 to 3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, or about 15% of total industrial energy consumption. The value ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)Project evaluation necessarily requires performance estimates over the project life cycle. In contrast to new and clean conditions, extended life performance inherently introduces additional complexity and variability in ...
-
(2018-09-24)Disposing of cotton gin trash (CGT) at gins has been an issue for decades. Instead of a waste byproduct, CGT can be utilized as a sustainable fuel for fluidized bed gasification (FBG). The overall objective of this project ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)PURPA legislatively removed obstacles that had previously served as disincentives to the development of cogeneration. As a result, projects that met certain fuel efficiency standards and other criteria could now theoretically ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)Capital allocated to energy savings projects competes with that for new or revised plants. Thus, it must show the same or better rate of return. Usually the risk factor in energy savings projects is less than allocations ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)The economics of combining steam and electric generation for companies requiring both steam and electric services develop a challenge which few engineers and economists can realize. This paper outlines the general approach ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)The variable energy characteristics of solid wastes, biomass and other low grade fuels, when utilized in cogeneration applications, introduce several additional plant design considerations. The effects of longer term ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)This paper discusses electric rate alternatives to cogeneration for the industrial customer and attempts to identify the effects on the utility company, the industrial customer as well as remaining customers. It is ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)Energy use at a Kraft pulp mill in the United States is analyzed in detail. Annual average process steam and electricity demands in the existing mill are 19.3 MMBtu per ADST and 687 kWh per ADST, respectively. This is ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Due to the increased use of coal and the reduced demand for Bunker C and other heavy liquid fuels, more refiners are adding or increasing the capacity of their facilities for converting the bottom-of-the-barrel streams ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Increased costs and a continuing dependence on uncertain supplies of domestic and foreign energy resources have prompted many companies to focus their attention on energy management. The author explores the potential for ...
