Cogeneration Planning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Cogeneration, the sequential use of a fuel to generate electricity and thermal energy, has become a widely discussed concept in energy engineering. American-Standard, a world-wide diversified manufacturing corporation, has ...
Fluid Bed Combustion Applied to Industrial Waste
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Because of its unique ability to handle a wide variety of liquids and solids in an energy efficient and environmentally acceptable manner, fluid bed combustion is being increasingly applied to the utilization of waste ...
Refinery Furnaces Retrofit with Gas Turbines Achieve Both Energy Savings and Emission Reductions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Integrating gas turbines with refinery furnaces
can be a cost effective means of reducing NOx emissions while also generating electricity at an
attractive heat rate. Design considerations and
system costs are presented.
Cheng Cycle Brings Flexibility to Steam Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
In 1983 Frito-Lay embarked on building a new
160,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Kern
County California. Based upon an estimated steam
load between 5,000 and 50,000 lb/hr and an
electrical load of approximately ...
Impact of Utility Costs on the Economics of Energy Cost Reduction & Conservation Technologies
(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 ...

Motivational Aspect of Southwest Texas State Universiy's Energy Conservation Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Southwest Texas State University (SWT), with more than 21,000 students, faculty and staff members, has two primary goals in mind as it constantly attempts to improve its Energy Conservation Program. First, to keep the ...
Waste Heat Recovery From Stacks Using Direct-Contact Condensing Heat Exchange
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Flue gases exiting the stack of a boiler create
thermal losses normally amounting to 15 to 20 percent of
the high heating value of the fuel fired. By capturing and
using this lost energy using condensing heat recovery, ...
The Corporate Headquarters for Alabama Power Company
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
In an era of increasing energy and construction
costs, utilities have initiated efforts to
influence what happens "on the other side of the
meter" in order to better match the supply and
demand of electricity and hold ...
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 ...
