Marketing Strategies in a Downturn Economy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The economic activity in an area may affect
electric utility sales more than other
retailers. Statistics show that the KWH
consumption per customer is in direct proportion
to effective buying income, number of jobs ...
Ontario's Industrial Energy Services Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The Ontario Ministry of Energy began offering
its new Industrial Energy Services Program (IESP)
in early 1987. This 3-year, $5-million program,
while not new in concept, is thought to be unique
for its depth of service ...
Cogeneration Markets: An Industry in Transition
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The year 1986 saw three fundamental changes in the character of development of cogeneration on the U.S. Gulf Coast. First, numerous large projects were cancelled, delayed, or drastically down-sized during 1986. Most capacity ...
Cost Bases for Incentive Rates Applicable to Industrial Loads
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Incentive rates applicable to industrial
customers are presently receiving a great deal of
attention and increased acceptance. This
represents a substantial change in attitude,
particularly on the part of the ...
Cogeneration Plant is Designed for Total Energy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
This paper describes application considerations, design
criteria, design features, operating characteristics
and performance of a 200 MW combined cycle
cogeneration plant located at Occidental Chemical

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 ...
Efficiency-A Pump Engineering Nemesis?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Higher pump efficiency, a most worthy
objective, is being pursued with increasing
vigour as energy costs rise. There are signs,
however, that the pursuit occasionally loses
its perspective. To try to eliminate ...
Supercritical Fluid Extraction- Process Simulation and Design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) currently finds application in
the food and petroleum industries. Research is aimed at using
the unique properties of supercritical fluids to perform
industrially significant ...
Industrial Process Heat Pumps--Some Unconventional Wisdom
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Recent research on the cost-effective use of
industrial process heat pumps challenges some popularly
held perceptions about the appropriate use of
this technology. Also challenged are some common
approaches to identifying ...
The Influence of Availability Costs on Optimal Heat Exchanger Size
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Optimizing heat exchangers based on second
law rather than first law considerations
ensures that the most efficient use of
available energy is being made. Techniques
for second-law optimizing heat exchangers
have been ...
