Many energy system assessments have been made in which a number of subsystems have been synthesized into a conceptual energy delivery model and analyzed as whole. Areas covered under industrial energy systems analysis are: improved utilization efficiencies - technology implementation; hydrogen railroad system concept economic assessment; solar energy chemical processing applications; automotive transportation alternative fuels; LNG as fuel for subsonic aircraft transportation systems; LNG aircraft fuel utilization; coal conversion to hydrogen, methanol, and liquid fuels for aircraft. Areas covered under utility systems analysis are: coal gasification/fuel cell systems evaluation; projection for coal conversion facilities in Missouri River and Yellowstone River Basins; electrolytic hydrogen production utilizing off-peak power; advanced nuclear-electrolytic hydrogen-production facility preliminary systems-engineering study; low-head dam sites hydrogen production; LNG national export program initiation technical assessment; methane production using offshore wind energy; assessment of hydrogen energy production and delivery system for offshore wind energy conversion system; offshore wind power utilization; alternative energy transmission systems from ocean thermal energy conversion plants; transmission: the key to using ocean thermal energy; and OTEC delivery systems based on chemical-energy carriers optimization study.
