How One Utility is Using Pinch Technology as a Marketing Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The electric utility industry is moving from a so-called natural monopoly into an era of competition, at least in the generation of power and for service to large industrial loads. Utilities are taking a different approach ...
Modeling On-Site Utility Systems Using "APLUS"
(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 ...
An Application of State-Of-The-Art HVAC and Building Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
This case study describes the successful
application of state-of-the-art HVAC and building
systems at a large commercial office and industrial
facility. The facility's exterior envelope systems,
HVAC systems, lighting ...
A Study on the Failure of Industrial Electric Heater
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The break down mechanism of a cylindrical electric heater is investigated by studying the uneven heating behavior of the heater by measuring the surface temperature variation of the heater when it is subjected to a boundary ...
Removing the Entropy Screen- To Let the Second Law Show
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
What we shape is what we see. When we try to
shape something without seeing it clearly, the
probability of achieving a happy result is low.
When we talk about "saving energy" what we usually
mean is "not wasting work". ...
Identifying Energy Systems that Maximize Cogeneration Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
This paper discusses the maximizing of Regional Cogeneration Energy Savings utilizing various technologies and fuels within a given service region. A methodology is developed to establish the allocation of power to the ...
Utility Marketing- Numbers Games, Technology Wars or Relational Marketing?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Natural gas and electric utilities seem to be feverishly
interested in expanding their business base, improving
consumption load factors while attempting to preserve
their customers' profitability. They have turned ...

The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of
Industrial Programs, has sponsored the
development of a Fluidized Bed Waste Heat
Recovery System (FBWHRS) and a higher
temperature variant, the Ceramic Tubular
Distributor Plate ...
Using Pinch Technology to Explore Trade-Offs Between Energy Cost, Capital Cost, Process Modifications, and Utility Selection
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Process design is a complex task. Many
decisions regarding feedstock, reaction routes,
separation alternatives, heat recovery and
utility systems must be made. Each of these
decisions, and interactions between them, ...
Operating and Maintaining a 465MW Cogeneration Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The on-line avilability of the five Frame-7E
gas turbine generators installed at the 465MW
Lyondell Cogeneration Plant was 90% and 95.2%
respectively for the first two years of operation
(1986-87). The 140MW steam ...
