    • Correct Marginal Utility Costs Underwrite Plant Profitability 
      Ranade, S. M.; Robert, W. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      This article clarifies existing terminology and demonstrates via practical examples that clear understanding and correct application of the marginal utility cost concept are necessary for optimal operation of in-plant ...
    • Impact of Utility Costs on Pinch Designs 
      Ranade, S. M.; Jones, D. H.; Zapata-Suarez, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
      Utility costs can have a significant impact on the optimum design of new plants and on the economic viability of energy conservation retrofits. First, an example is used to illustrate how, in some cases, slightly different ...
    • Impact of Utility Costs on the Economics of Energy Cost Reduction & Conservation Technologies 
      Ranade, S. M.; Chao, Y. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
      This paper summarizes some key results obtained from an EPRI funded study the main objective of which was to investigate the principal economic and technical factors that influence the energy related investment strategy ...
    • Industrial Heat Pumps: Appropriate Placement and Sizing Using the Grand Composite 
      Ranade, S. M.; Hindmarsh, E.; Boland, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Correct thermodynamic placement of heat pumps is a necessary condition for optimality. The most sophisticated equipment designs can do very little to improve the cost-effectiveness of inappropriately placed heat pumps. ...
    • Industrial Heat Pumps: Where and When 
      Ranade, S. M.; Chao, Y. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
      A brief review of the types of industrial heat pumps is presented. General guidelines are provided for appropriate placement of industrial heat pumps. Industrial applications are used as examples to illustrate key points.
    • Modeling On-Site Utility Systems Using "APLUS" 
      Ranade, S. M.; Jones, D. H.; Shrec, S. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
      Most energy saving schemes on industrial sites lead to reductions in the steam and/or power demands on an on-site utility system. Accurate knowledge of the marginal and incremental costs of the available levels of ...
    • Potential for Heat Pumps in the U.S. Process Industries 
      Rossiter, A. P.; Seetharam, R. V.; Ranade, S. M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Two major criteria for successful heat pump installations in process plants are the "appropriate placement" and "appropriate sizing" of the heat pump, consistent with the thermodynamics of the process. Failure to ...
