Experiences with On-Line STEAMPOP
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Off-line utility system optimizers for
large process plants are now common place. However, the use of these optimizers
for operations optimization is usually limited
by the need for trained personnel to run these
programs ...
Evaluating Transformer Losses
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
This paper outlines how to determine what transformer losses cost and how to evaluate transformer bids to optimize the investment.
Economics of Energy Conservation in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Capital allocated to energy savings
projects competes with that for new or
revised plants. Thus, it must show the
same or better rate of return. Usually
the risk factor in energy savings projects
is less than allocations ...
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 ...
Quick Estimate of IRR From Capital Estimate Ratios
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
A Compressed Air Reduction Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The reason for implementing this program was to
assist the plant in quantifying some of its
leaks in the equipment throuqhout the plant and
to provide direction as to which leaks are
generating high utility costs. The ...
Steam Pricing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Steam is used in many plants to furnish both
heat and mechanical energy. It is typically
produced in several fired boilers which may operate
at different pressures and with different efficiencies.
It is then distributed ...
A Distributed Facilities Automation System For IBM Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Automatic building control systems
have rapidly evolved from time-based
on-off energy management controllers
to distributed microprocessor-based
direct digital control (DDC)
Building Automation Systems.
Precipitous ...
Making Use of Pinch: A Contractors Experience
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The recent turnaround in the chemical industry has meant that contractors are once again competing vigorously for new plant orders. This has meant plant designs have required rapid evaluation and where necessary improvement ...
Energy Management at Steelcase- Energy Integrated with Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Our plant assigned and central engineers are encouraged to design each project with energy efficiency and cost as important objectives. It is their contribution to the process of problem solving, renovation, equipment ...
