Abstract

NRG Energy bought the Dunlook and Huntley Generating Stations in 1999 from Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. and has since then invested millions of dollars in converting them from bituminous coal to low sulphur Powder River Basin coal, combustion tuning and routine maintenance to help provide reliable stable-priced electricity to New York. The plants have reduced NOx, SO{sub 2} and particulate emissions. 1 photo.

Aqueous Carbonate Process study program

Journal Article

The Electric Power Research Institute, EPA, the Empire State Electric Energy Research Corp., and the New York State Energy Research and Development Administration are initiating a study program to demonstrate the viability of Rockwell International's Aqueous Carbonate Process, for simultaneously controlling sulfur dioxide emissions from powerplant flue gases and producing a sulfur product. A sodium carbonate solution is sprayed into the gas stream, and the resulting dry solids are heated with coal to 1800/sup 0/-1900/sup 0/F in a reactor and are then fed to a series of columns which produce hydrogen sulfide and regenerate the sodium carbonate. Finally, the hydrogenmore »« less
Griffiss Air Force Base integrated resource assessment. Volume 3, Electric resource assessment

Technical Report Armstrong, P; Shankle, S; Elliott, D; ...

The US Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC) has tasked the US Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) to identify, evaluate, and assist in acquiring all cost-effective energy projects at Griffiss Air Force Base (AFB). FEMP, with support from the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), is designing this model program for federal customers served by the Niagara Mohawk Power Company. The program with Griffiss AFB will (1) identify and evaluate all cost-effective electric energy projects; (2) develop a schedule for project acquisition considering project type, size, timing, capital requirements, as well as energy and dollar savings; and (3)more »« less

100-MW second generation SO/sub 2/ removal demonstration plant for New York State utilities

Conference Aldrich, R; Oldenkamp, R

A program is now underway to design, build, and operate a 100-MW second generation flue gas desulfurization (FGD) demonstration plant for the New York State electric utilities. The program is sponsored by the Empire State Electric Energy Research Corporation (ESEERCO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); the FGD process to be demonstrated is the Atomics International (AI) Aqueous Carbonate Process (ACP). The program started officially on January 3, 1977, and is scheduled to be completed by December 1980. The ACP is described briefly, and then there is a description of the demonstration plant that will be built and operatedmore »« less
The potential for electricity conservation in New York State

Technical Report Miller, P; Eto, J; Geller, H

This report presents an analysis of the potential for electricity savings and peak demand reductions in the current equipment and building stock in New York State. The objective is to identify and characterize the electricity conservation resource that currently exists in New York as well as in the service area of the seven major private utilities (Central Hudson Gas Electric Corp., Consolidated Edison Co., Long Island Lighting Co., New York State Electric Gas Corp., Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., Orange and Rockland Utilities, and Rochester Gas Electric Corp.). Consequently, conservation and load management measures are analyzed without considering utility program costs,more »« less
Clarifying the New York PSC's ruling on Niagara Mohawk's industrial conservation programs. [PSC (Public Service Commission)]

Journal Article Disbrow, R - Electricity Journal; (United States)

In light of confusion surrounding what the New York Public Service Commission did and did not do in its recent order applicable to industrial conservation programs of Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., an attempt was made to try to clarify the situation by posing questions to NYPSC chairman Peter Bradford about the Commission's order. Presented here are questions posed by The Electricity Journal and Chairman Bradford's responses. The discussion includes the proposed impact of conservation programs similar to that of Niagara Mohawk power Corporation.
