Abstract

Energy conversion systems for industrial cogeneration, supplying both electricity and process heat, were characterized in order to match each candidate to specific industrial requirements. The ratio of power to process heat is shown to be a critical factor in achieving matches that produce appreciable fuel savings. Economic screening, based on return on incremental investment, further refines the selection. The potential national fuel savings in 1990 are developed for the energy conversion systems with the greatest impact at levels of 0% and a 20% return on investment.
