Abstract

Within the confines of the Maritime Prescreening Assessment of Conservation Technologies program, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in collaboration with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock and Philadelphia Divisions, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration, and the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, recently developed a physics-based modeling engine to evaluate non-propulsive ship energy consumption under different operational scenarios and technology applications, in order to enhance the Navy's ability to optimize ship operational reach and tactical performance. To accomplish this, a mature thermophysical modeling software, EnergyPlus^TM, was modified for ship-related applications. This software, originally developed for use in whole-building energy consumption studies, is a free and open-source simulation program that has been used for more than two decades. The team evaluated the accuracy of the modified version of EnergyPlus by comparing results to direct measurements taken over a 6-week underway period onboard the Maritime Administration's Training Ship Kennedy. The team developed an energy model of a prescribed area of the ship and compared its performance to measured results obtained from 235 sensor points. EnergyPlus behaved well with respect to solar loading and convective heat transfer to seawater while the ship was underway. However, results suggest that additional workmore »« less

Energy savings potential from improved building controls for the US commercial building sector

Journal Article Fernandez, Nick ; Katipamula, Srinivas ; Wang, Weimin ; ... - Energy Efficiency

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Building Technologies Office (BTO) sponsored a study to determine the potential national savings achievable in the commercial building sector through widespread deployment of best practice controls, elimination of system and component faults, and use of better sensing. Detailed characterization of potential savings was one source of input to set research, development, and deployment (RD&D) goals in the field of building sensors and controls. DOE’s building energy simulation software, EnergyPlus, was employed to estimate the potential savings from 34 measures in 9 building types and across 16 climates representing almost 57% of commercial building sectormore »« less

At-sea test and demonstration of petroleum coke-oil mixtures (PETCOM). Final report

Technical Report Hastings, K E

Cities Service Research and Development Company, in association with COMCO of America, Duval (Pennzoil) Corporation, Marine Transport Lines, Seaworthy Systems, and John Zink Company, developed a program for commercial demonstration of petroleum coke/oil mixtures (PETCOM) onboard a U.S. maritime vessel. The program was funded jointly by the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), and the above industrial participants. The program contained those items necessary to conduct the first ship demonstration of burning PETCOM during a four-month test period in order to fully assess its economic and technical merits. Some of the foremost experts in the U.S. on slurry fuels were brought togethermore »« less
[CO{sub 2} measurements along the WOCE P-16 and 19 sections in the south Pacific Ocean: A joint LDGO/WHOI program]. Final report

Technical Report Goyet, C

With the support from the Department of Energy, we participated in the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) cruises to document the spatial variation of the properties of the carbonate system over the world ocean. With the other members of the DOE C0{sub 2} science team, we took advantage of the initial postponed ship schedule to initiate an intercomparison of total dissolved inorganic carbon measurement in seawater. This work has proven to be essential for the measurements performed at sea soon after. We participated in 2 cruises in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean along 150{degree} W and 135{degree} W.

Technical Report Halverson, Mark A ; Rosenberg, Michael I ; Liu, Bing

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) conducted a final quantitative analysis to assess whether buildings constructed according to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)/Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Standard 90.1-2010 (ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010, Standard 90.1-2010, or 2010 edition) would result in energy savings compared with buildings constructed to ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007(ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007, Standard 90.1-2007, or 2007 edition).
