The potential to liberate steam production capacity for power generation has been assessed using actual energy consumption data and the recorded seasonal consumption fluctuations for a kraft pulp mill. The revenues from power production are compared with possible energy savings, achieved through...

For an installation for the heating and cooling of a building that uses refuse and renewable energy, electrical energy savings may be high without any computer control. However, energy savings may be even higher when this installation is with computer control. In this case, the installation uses...

This paper presents the design and performance of a hybrid energy system. The hybrid energy system consists of a standard air-conditioning unit (i.e., a split system), with an integrated boiler for heating water. The entire system is driven by a small off-grid photovoltaic plant and was tested...

Rising energy prices and environmental impacts inevitably encourage industrials to get involved in promoting energy efficiency and emissions reductions. To achieve this goal, we have developed the first detailed bottom-up energy model for Non-Energy Intensive industry (NEI) to study its global...
