Managing In-House Energy Resources for Competitive Advantage
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Most energy intensive product manufacturing organizations rely upon in-house plant organizations to provide their primary sources of energy: power, steam and fuel. Unlike the manufacturing side of the business, however, ...
Staying Competitive in the 90's: How to Make Public Involvement Work for Your Energy Project
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Gone are the days when energy companies could develop energy, void of citizen input. With the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969, a new era of public involvement began. Although the specifics of how ...
Cogeneration System Size Optimization Constant Capacity and Constant Demand Models
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
This paper presents the development of a quasi-linear optimization model for a cogeneration system subject to constant heat and power demands or loads. The linear model is next modified to a non-linear one to account for ...
Black Liquor Gasification Process Review and Status Update
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1993-03)
After more than two decades of research and development, black liquor gasification is poised to become a commercial reality in the 90's. Several promising developments are underway in North America and Europe. In fact, all ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
The needs of electricity consumers along with the utility industry are rapidly changing. Consumers want electricity to perform more functions, improve efficiencies and help lower the cost of production, all in an environmentally ...
Industrial Rates and Demand-Side Management Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
The industrial sector in Texas is large and energy intensive. Industrial sales constitute a major portion of total sales for several utilities in Texas. Industrial demand-side management (DSM) can be used by utilities to ...
Sintered Alpha Silicon Carbide Pump Bearings - Tribological Materials Optimization To Improve Reliability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The material properties of sintered silicon carbide, such as universal corrosion resistance, hardness, strength, and thermal conductivity, offer a great potential as sealless pump bearings and mechanical seal faces. In ...
Using Fault Trees To Determine The Root Cause Of Rotating Equipment Failures
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The great value of using multidisciplinary task groups to conduct root cause failure analyses (RCFA) on pump and rotating equipment failures is discussed. The RCFA method offers its users a structured means of achieving ...
Non-Utility Generation and Transmission Access in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Power from non-utility generators (NUG) is an important part of the generation mix in Texas. In recent years approximately 10 percent of the total sales of electricity in the state was purchased by utilities from NUGs.
Access ...
