Energy supply alternatives for the year 2002 at the US Military Academy (USMA). Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:128098
The U.S. Military Academy (USMA) is concerned about how to meet present and future energy demands as the existing generating equipment and distribution facilities age. To help the installation develop an energy supply plan, the USMA asked the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories to determine options for future energy supply, taking into consideration both the projected increases in energy demands and the Army`s energy conservation goals. Researchers considered 68 separate plans based on plant location; type of distribution system; cogeneration; steam, hot water, and chilled water technologies; coal, gas, and fuel oils; and environmental constraints. Based on this study, the lowest cost plan is to refurbish the existing power plant with new high pressure gas/oil boilers and new steam turbine generators. If the USMA decides to build a new plant, non-cogeneration using gas/oil-fired boilers or cogeneration using gas turbine generators with heat recovery boilers should be used. The existing steam distribution system should be maintained with repairs as needed. A new central chiller plant is not recommended. The USMA should assess fuel costs, electrical energy costs, and capital costs for the top five economically ranked plans before proceeding with an energy construction project.
