Optimal Control of Harvesting Ice Thermal Storage Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Thermal storage is becoming a
standard consideration in HVAC and process
cooling systems. As the technology is
refined, more attention is being given to
minimize the energy consumption and power
demand requirements. This ...
Energy Efficient Design Concept for Mesquite Independent School District
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Mesquite is a suburb located on the east
side of Dallas with a population of
approximately 110,000. The school
district covers over 60 square miles with
a student population of 22,500. The 32
schools consist of 23 elementary, ...
Estimating the Market Penetration of Residential Cool Storage Technology Using Economic Cost Modeling
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This study estimated the market penetration
for residential cool storage technology using
economic cost modeling. Residential cool storage
units produce and store chill during off-peak
periods of the day to be used during ...
Successfully Marketing Thermal Storage in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This paper first reviews the key hurdles to
thermal energy storage. Next, case studies of
three electric utility thermal storage marketing
programs are reviewed. The results of these case
studies. as well as advice and ...
Analysis of Attic Radiant Barrier Systems Using Mathematical Models
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
During the past six years, the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) has conducted extensive experimental research on radiant barrier systems (RBS). This paper presents recent research on the development of mathematical attic ...
Review of Conservation Costs and Benefits: Five Years of Experience under the Northwest Power Act
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
In 1980, Congress passed the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Public Law 96-501). In the Act, Congress mandated that conservation (i.e., improvements in energy efficiency that result in reduced ...
Utility System Simulation: A Nonlinear Approach
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Computer simulation of plant utility systems allows an
engineer to rapidly 1) analyze operation changes, 2) analyze
design changes, and 3) optimize the steam/electric system
for the lowest operating cost. MESA (Modular ...
A Versatile and Powerful Simulator for Design, Advanced Control and Expert Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The usefulness of models of plant utility
systems largely depends on the capabilities of the
process system simulator which uses them.
SACDA has been engaged in a multi-year
development of a versatile and powerful ...
Monitoring Energy Losses
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Industrial power plants using fossil fuel to produce process steam and electrical energy must be operated at peak efficiency to minimize production costs. Monitoring the power plant operation sometimes takes second place ...
