Regional Characteristics Relevant to Advanced Technology Cogeneration Development

摘要

The Cogeneration Technology Alternatives Study was aimed at providing a data base to assist DOE in establishing research and development funding priorities in the area of advanced energy conversion technology. Those specific factors within various regions of the country that may influence cogeneration with advanced energy conversion systems were studied. Regional characteristics of advanced technology cogeneration possibilities are discussed, with primary emphasis given to coal-derived fuels. Factors considered for the study were regional industry concentration, purchased fuel and electricity prices, environmental constraints, and other data of interest to industrial cogeneration.
