National, regional and state profiles are presented by industrial sector and by size of system for potential cogeneration within the US. For each of the following sections and for each region and state five computer printout tables are provided: (1) potential number of plants with cogeneration potential in each SIC, within specified cogeneration system size (MW) ranges; (2) potential electric power generation (MW) in each SIC, within specified cogeneration system size ranges; (3) potential electric generation (Kwh/yr) in each SIC, within specified cogeneration system size ranges, (4) potential steam generation (lb/yr) in each SIC, within specified cogeneration system size ranges; and (5) potential energy savings (Btu/yr) in each SIC, within specified cogeneration system size ranges. The potential cogeneration profiles presented in the five tables for the national profile and for each of the region and state profiles are for the best system at each plant site having an uninflated ROI > 7%. A national profile for systems with an uninflated ROI > 15% is presented. The definition of each 2 digit SIC group is presented. A correlation between uninflated, constant 1980 dollar ROI and the inflated ROI is presented. The energy savings (Btu/yr) presented in computer printout Table 5 in each section, represents the energy savings at the utility (assuming a utility efficiency of 33%) plus or minus the energy differential between the cogeneration and nocogeneration systems at the plant site.
