Case study of total energy plant at the Kansas City TWA overhaul base
This case study evaluates the reasons for TWA's 1969 decision to build a total energy plant at its Kansas City overhaul base. Total energy was bought on the basis that it would reduce energy costs and, at the same time, provide more reliable and higher quality electric power. Reasons why these expectations did not materialize are analyzed, along with operational statistics, and total energy versus purchased power costs, forming a record that can aid the Department of Energy in determining the energy conservation potential of such applications of total energy in the United States. TWA's present status at the overhaul base is that of buying electric power from the Missouri Public Service Company. Steam produced under the total energy format by waste-heat recovery, is again being produced through the use of the previously existing combustion boiler capacity.
