Trenton ICES. Volume I. Phase I, final report
Phase I Preliminary Design and Evaluation for a Grid Connected Thermally Controlled Integrated Community Energy System (ICES) for Trenton, New Jersey has been carried out. The findings of the study are that: it is technically feasible, utilizing commercially available hardware; it is economically competitive with conventional alternatives for heating and cooling buildings; it will produce an overall reduction in fuel consumed of 32 to 43% when compared with conventional alternatives for heating and cooling buildings; it will consume 4 to 9% more oil than will conventional alternatives for heating and cooling buildings; it should be owned and operated by Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE and G); and it can provide thermal energy 21 months after the start of Phase II and electrical energy 32 months after the start of Phase II. This study is site-specific and of a small-size project. Its installation will not alter the planned PSE and G capacity expansion program. The economic evaluation results of the report cannot be extrapolated for numerous co-generation installations that would affect the PSE and G planned capacity-expansion program.
