The Effect of Variable Quality Fuels on Cogeneration Plant Performance
(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 ...
The Cogeneration Quandary
(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 ...
Cogeneration System Design Options
(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. ...
Cogeneration Can Add To Your Profits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The predicted rapid escalation of gas and electric costs, particularly in those utility systems predominantly fired by gas, make it important for both industry and utilities to evaluate the role of cogeneration in their ...
Bayou Cogeneration Plant- A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The Bayou Cogeneration Plant is a prime example of
the high fuel efficiency and consequent energy savings
an industrial company can realize from cogeneration. A
joint venture of Big Three Industries, Inc., and ...
Superposition, A Unique Cogeneration Opportunity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Industrial steam systems provide opportunities for the economic cogeneration of heat energy and shaft power. Progressive plant owners and managers have utilized these potentials. Too often opportunities are not exploited. ...
Design for, and Evaluation of Life Cycle Performance
(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 ...
Alternatives to Industrial Cogeneration: A Pinch Technology Perspective
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Pinch Technology studies across a broad
spectrum of processes confirm that existing
plants typically consume 15-40% more thermal
energy than they should. Consequently, many
cogeneration schemes have been based on ...
Application of Pinch Technology in Refinery Retrofits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
This paper reviews the application of pinch
technology in the identification of the most
attractive retrofit prospects in typical
refineries. In the first part of the paper,
methodology is described to identify ...
Heat Recovery Design Considerations for Cogeneration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The design and integration of the heat recovery section, which includes the steam generation, auxiliary firing, and steam turbine modules, is critical to the overall performance and economics of cogeneration, systems. In ...
