Integrated Community Energy System (ICES) commercialization case studies. Volume I. Direct economic and energy analysis of ICES concepts. [Fox Valley Villages, Aurora, IL]
This study specifically considers the Fox Valley Center and Villages, a new planned community located in Aurora, Illinois. The systems chosen for study were considered representative of three characteristic states of technology: (1) existing, (2) emerging, and (3) advanced. The principal reason for selecting systems in each state was to identify commercialization problems in applying each type of system in a real-world setting. Each system chosen for study is described and evaluated in detail in Appendix B. ICES alternatives studied are: existing technologies (diesel prime mover with waste heat recovery and cool prime mover-variable extraction turbine); emerging technology (unitary and applied heat pump systems); and advanced technology (fuel-cell prime mover with waste heat recovery). The systems analyzed fall into two categories: (1) decentralized, single building, customer-owned systems connected to grid energy, and (2) centralized, on-site, multi-building ICES energy generation and distribution facilities disconnected from grid energy except possibly for fuel supplies or peaking electrical power. In each category, existing and emerging technologies have been analyzed, and comparisons of options among categories have been made. (MCW)
