Trenton ICES: demonstration of a grid-connected integrated community energy system. Phase II. Volumes 1 and 2. Preliminary design of ICES system and analysis of community ownership

Description: Preliminary design and evaluation for the system has been carried out. The findings of this study are: (1) it is technically feasible, utilizing commercially available hardware; (2) under utility ownership and operation, it will not be economically competitive with conventional alternatives for heating and cooling buildings (analysis contained in companion report under separate cover); (3) under utility ownership and operation, no restrictions have been identified that would prevent the project… more

Grid connected integrated community energy system. Phase II: final state 2 report. Preliminary design waste management and institutional analysis

Description: The Preliminary Design of a Regional, Centralized Solid Waste Management System for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region in Minnesota is presented. The concept has been developed for the sound environmental and safe disposal of solid waste generated from its health care industry, although some additional waste supplements are included as economic assistance in order to approach a competitive alternative to current health care solid waste disposal costs. The system design focuses on a 132 tons pe… more

Grid-connected integrated community energy system. Phase II, Stage 2, final report. Executive summary

Description: The University of Minnesota Grid-ICES was divided into four identifiable programs in order to study the feasibility of each of the parts of the ICES independently. The total program involves cogeneration, fuel conversion, fuel substitution, and energy conservation by system change. This Phase II report substantiates the theory that the Basic Grid ICES is not only energy-effective, but it will become cost effective as unit operating costs adjust to supply and demand in the 1980's. The Basic Prog… more

HEAL G-C ICES, Phase II: detailed feasibility analysis and preliminary design. Final report, Stage 1

Description: In this preliminary report for Phase II of Health Education Authority of Louisiana's (HEAL) ICES program, specific elements of the basic intitutional issues were readdressed, as requested by the U.S. Department of Energy. The draft environmental assessment was reassessed and updated. Thermal energy demand profiles for the major community sectors, i.e., the five institutions comprising the HEAL Complex, were refined on a month-by-month basis and resulted in establishing ICES plant systems design… more

Trenton ICES: demonstration of a grid-connected integrated community energy system. Phase II. Volume I. Final report

Description: This draft report summarizes an economic analysis based upon the assumption of Public Service Electric and Gas Company's ownership and operation of the ICES plant and distribution system. Therefore, the parameters of the analysis are PSE and G's standard engineering practices, standard instrumentation and controls design, standard operating procedures, and standard estimating methods. The value of electric energy was assumed to be the Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland Power Interconnection off-peak … more
