Why Cogeneration Development Projects Fail
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Cogeneration projects that are organized by
developers fail to reach fruition for reasons
other than the basic economical or technical
soundness of the opportunity. Cogeneration
development projects fail because ...
How Regulatory Policy Impacts Large Scale Cogeneration Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Congress passed the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) in November 1978. It was about two years before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) which was charged with promulgating rules implementing ...
Power Generation and Power Use Decisions in an Industrial Process
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
This paper discusses how to decide whether to
generate any or all of a plant's power, or to use
power, purchased or self-generated, to move heat
or do work. The analysis can be conducted by
developing energy composite ...
Preserve the Investment-Antibiological Spray
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Annual preservative spray applications to the
plenum area combined with a good water treatment
program will extend the maintenance free life of
the cooling tower. This is accomplished by preventing
internal wood decay ...
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 ...
Reliability Improvement Programs in Steam Distribution and Power Generation Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
This paper will present alternatives to costly corrective
maintenance of the steam trap and condensate return system,
and the paybacks associated with instituting a program
of planned maintenance management of that ...
Automating An Industrial Power Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The need for an upgrade of boiler and turbine
controls in the 15 MW coal-fired cogeneration plant
at the John Deere Component Works had been anticipated
for several years. Justification was based
on electrical peak ...
ICI's Approach to Total Energy Savings on Ethylene Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Recent technological developments have led to the creation of the rigorous simulation models for ethylene plants which can be run in concert with advanced, thermodynamic “pinch” procedures. This new approach enables ...
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 ...
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 ...
