Heat Integrate Heat Engines in Process Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper presents a novel method for the
integration of heat engines into total processes to
effect large energy savings. Paybacks are often
short. The method is applicable to new designs and
retrofits and is ...
Electric Utility Demand-Side Evaluation Methodologies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The electric utility industry's demand-side
management programs can be analyzed from various
points of view using a standard benefit-cost
methodology. The methodology now in use by
several electric utilities and the ...
Overview and Burning Technology Opportunities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
In the late seventies, Canada put in place
several programs designed to support the
development and implementation of new ideas as
well as the improvement of old technologies to
utilize renewables as a source of ...
Our Favorite Electrical Energy Saving Opportunities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
A survey of approximately 200 energy
audits yielded a set of opportunities that
kept reappearing. This article surveys
those opportunities describing advantages,
disadvantages, and possible pitfalls. Also,
the article ...
Fuel Cells as an Emerging Technology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has
been directing a fuel cell research and development
program since 1976. The intention of this
program is to pursue improvements in utilization
of domestic natural gas, ...
The Energy Tracker

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper reviews the current state of
technology as digital systems continue
rapid evolution and migration into
facility control and automation roles.
This digital evolution encompasses
control systems, management ...
Design of a 465 MW Combined Cycle Cogeneration Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper describes the design of a base loaded
465 MW (net) combined cycle cogeneration plant
designed to sell up to 1,150,000 lb/hr of steam to
a chemical plant in Houston, Texas, and sell up to
550,000 kW of electric ...
Mechanical Compression Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Mechanical compression heat pumping is
not new in industrial applications. In
fact, industry history suggests that the
theoretical concept was developed before
1825.
Heat pump manufacturers gained the
support of ...
500°F Absorption Heat Pump Under Development
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Economic industrial heat pumping to temperatures above 500°F (260°C) is promised
in the near future. A new absorption fluid is the key. Tested under DOE sponsorship,
the new fluid has proven to be thermally
stable and ...
