This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, 40% of energy use was for electricity generation in 2011, but two thirds of the energy used to produce electricity was lost as heat. Combined heat and power systems are an energy technology that provides electrical and thermal energy at high efficiencies by utilizing excess heat from the process of electricity generation. This technology can offer a decentralized method of energy generation for urban regions which can provide a more reliable, resilient and efficient power supply, and has a lower impact on the environment compared to certain centralized electricity generation systems. In order for the use of combined heat and power systems to become more widespread and mainstream, studies must be performed which analyze their use in various conditions and applications. This work examines the use of a combined heat and power system with a microturbine as the prime mover in residential and commercial scenarios and analyzes the technical and economic feasibility of various system configurations. Energy models are developed for R1, R6 and 2-story office building scenarios using eQUEST, and these results give the electrical and thermal energy requirements for each building. Combined heat and power system models are then developed and presented for each scenario, and the building energy requirements and system component sizes available are considered in order to determine the optimal configurations for each system. The combined heat and power system models designed for each scenario are analyzed to find energy savings, water impacts, and emissions impacts of the system, and each model is examined for economic and environmental feasibility. The models created provide information on the most technically and economically efficient configurations of combined heat and power systems for each scenario examined. Data on system component sizing, system efficiencies, and environmental impacts of each system were determined, as well as how these scenarios compared to the use of traditional centralized energy systems. Combined heat and power has the potential to significantly improve the resiliency, reliability and efficiency of the current energy system in the U.S., and by studying and modeling its uses we more completely understand its function in a range of scenarios and can deploy the systems in a greater number of environments and applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For multi-user PDF licensing, please contact customer service. Energy touches our lives in countless ways and its costs are felt when we fill up at the gas pump, pay our home heating bills, and keep businesses both large and small running. There are long-term costs as well: to the environment, as natural resources are depleted and pollution contributes to global climate change, and to national security and independence, as many of the world's current energy sources are increasingly concentrated in geopolitically unstable regions. The country's challenge is to develop an energy portfolio that addresses these concerns while still providing sufficient, affordable energy reserves for the nation. The United States has enormous resources to put behind solutions to this energy challenge; the dilemma is to identify which solutions are the right ones. Before deciding which energy technologies to develop, and on what timeline, we need to understand them better. America's Energy Future analyzes the potential of a wide range of technologies for generation, distribution, and conservation of energy. This book considers technologies to increase energy efficiency, coal-fired power generation, nuclear power, renewable energy, oil and natural gas, and alternative transportation fuels. It offers a detailed assessment of the associated impacts and projected costs of implementing each technology and categorizes them into three time frames for implementation.
