Abstract
Application of renewable and nonrenewable energy conversion technologies are forecast for medium and large industrial facilities. Data are obtained from an optimization model that determines the least, life-cycles cost energy supply system for an industrial facility. Optimal solutions were composed of integrated combinations of energy conversion technologies. Besides being more cost-effective than status quo systems fired exclusively on fuel oil, the optimal integrated systems displace a significant percentage of fuel oil. Energy conversion technologies that participate in the optimal solutions for medium and large industrial facilities include: fluidized-bed coal combustion, cogeneration, oil-fired systems, with smaller contributions from refuse derived fuel systems. Oil-fired systems participate only in a peaking capacity wherever coal combustion is permitted. Otherwise, the status quo systems are forecasted to prevail.
