Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6618349
The programs currently being conducted by TVA and distributors of TVA power in the areas of energy conservation, solar and renewable energy, load management, and rate design are summarized. Programs summarized in the Conservation and Energy Management Branch include home insulation, heat pump financing, commercial and industrial energy conservation, low income initiatives, and new homes conservation programs. Programs in the Solar Applications Branch are the Memphis and Nashville/Middle Tennessee solar-water-heater demonstration projects, wood-heater program, solar homes for the area, solar-modular-homes project, TVA facilities solar projects, commercial and industrial biomass and industrial passive space-conditioning programs. The Load Management Branch is conducting air-conditioning and water-heater-cycling programs, a radio-controlled water heating/space conditioning project, a thermal storage field test, and an energy-use-display meter test. Rate-reform initiatives, a load-research program, a solar-home load-research program, and an experimental cogeneration-rate program in the Rate Branch are summarized.
