Electrical Control & Energy Management For Cogeneration Plants
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Industrial plants consume various forms of energy in their day-to-day operation, including electrical energy. By constructing in-house combined cycle and cogeneration plants, many industrial facilities are able to internally meet their steam and electricity demands. Depending on the availability, quality, and cost of the external electricity supply, an industrial facility has the flexibility to either import electricity from the local grid or generate their own electricity. In many cases industries prefer to find a balance between generating a portion of their demand and importing from the local grid.

Energy Management Solutions for Louisiana Industry - Predictive Tools and Concepts for Optimization and Emission Reduction
An industrial plant consists of an input of energy, raw materials and labor and an output of products, waste energy and waste materials. If raw material and labor costs are relatively fixed, a reduction in the plant’s energy costs and waste materials are the two best means of improving profitability. This project specifically evaluates cogeneration opportunities as a means of substantially redu...
