(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Operation Powerplay is a viable electric load management program developed and tested with Department of Energy funding and support. It is a concept designed to provide financial benefits to a utility and one or more of ...
Meteorological Effects on Air/Fuel Ratio
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Air is a convenient and inexpensive source of oxygen for most combustion processes. However, the oxygen content of the air varies with temperature and humidity. Changes in temperature affect the mass of oxygen per unit ...
Industrial Interruptible Power: An Economical Alternative
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Prevailing utility cost forecasts project that long-term energy costs will rise in real terms. With the addition of capacity construction costs into electric utility rate bases, electric power costs for some utilities will ...
Gaining Top Management Support for Energy Conservation Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Sometimes seemingly attractive energy conservation opportunities encounter road blocks by top management. Generally, this happens because the engineer is not working the whole problem as management sees it. Management may ...
Financing Energy Projects in DOW
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Energy conservation as a formal program in Dow originated in the early 1970's. From 1972 until the end of 1983, DOW recorded an energy performance improvement in excess of 30%. The essential features of the energy conservation ...
