Merging Energy Conservation and Air Toxic Compliance for DOD Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Many of the Department of Defense (DoD) industrial operations are being consolidated and some facilities laid away. While this process is underway, DoD has attempted to renovate the old plants with state-of-the-art ...
Optimizing Aeration in Pulp Mill Secondary Treatment Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
With better spill control and lower carbon loads to the treatment system, there is excess aeration occurring at the lagoon. This leads to unnecessary power costs, especially during peak demand summer periods. A study was ...
Benchmarking Process Energy Performance From Historical Data: Bringing Sanity into Energy Budgets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Reducing energy costs has two components: knowledge of process energy consumption and an energy management process. This concept is summed up in energy management's 2-M rule: to manage energy, energy must be measured. After ...
An Approach to Supervisory Control of an Energy Management Control System Using Fuzzy Logic
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
In this paper an approach to supervisory control of multi-stage industrial control systems is presented. This approach is based on the notion of an internal reference model, and further makes use of a fuzzy multi-objective ...
Low-Value Waste Gases as an Energy Source
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Waste gases with potentially useful fuel value are generated at any number of points in refineries, chemical plants and other industrial and commercial sites. The higher quality streams have been utilized successfully in ...
Thermal Efficiency Optimization for Industrial Power Plants Under Load Fluctuations Using Fuzzy Logic
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
The automation of the control to a power plant is indeed a challenge mainly because of the occurrences of random and unpredictable variations in output demands as well as because of highly non-linear behavior of the system ...
On-Site Diesel Generation- How You Can Reduce Your Energy Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Interruptible power rates, Utility special rate negotiations, and the emergence of a spot electrical power market all can lead to lower industrial energy costs. The installation of low cost on-site diesel powered generation, ...
Economical Condensing Turbines?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Steam turbines have long been used at utilities and in industry to generate power. There are three basic types of steam turbines: condensing, letdown and extraction/condensing.
•
Letdown turbines reduce the pressure of ...
Adjustable Speed AC Motor Drives-Applications Problems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Adjustable speed AC drives have become the preferred choice in many industrial applications where controlled speed is required. At the same time, the maturing of the technology and the availability of fast and efficient ...
Approaches Toward Achieving Optimum Efficiency in Rerates of Large Centrifugal Compressors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Centrifugal compressors are commonly used within the process industries as prime movers. For many years, plants have been designed with "single train", unspared, major machinery in order to reduce construction, operating, ...
