Application potential of energy systems at Navy sites. Volume I. Methodology and results. Final report, March 1978-October 1979
Application of renewable and nonrenewable energy conversion technologies are forecast for the Navy's ten largest industrial locations and four smaller locations. Data are obtained from an optimization model that determines the least, life-cycle cost energy supply system for an industrial location. Optimal solutions were composed of integrated combinations of energy conversion technologies. Besides being more cost-effective than status quo systems fired exclusively on fuel oil, the optimal integrated systems displace a significant percentage of fuel oil. Energy conversion technologies that participate in the optimal supply systems for large Naval industrial locations include fluidized-bed coal combustion, cogeneration, oil-fired systems, with smaller contributions from refuse derived fuel systems. Oil-fired systems participate only in a peaking capacity wherever coal combustion is permitted. Otherwise, the status quo systems are forecasted to prevail. Renewable energy conversion systems were not competitive in plant-size configurations at nine of the ten large Naval industrial locations studied, Pearl Harbor being the exception.
