摘要: |
Many U.S. Army installations pay relatively high prices for the electricity because they are remotely located. Moreover, Army facilities frequently have heat and electrical needs co-located in a building or cluster of buildings, which makes these locations well suited for energy 'cogeneration'. Micro-turbines are a miniaturized version of combustion turbines currently used in the aerospace and electric power industries. The micro-turbine's simple construction, when coupled with the cost benefits of mass production, is anticipated to yield electric power at low capitol costs. Also, the unit's exhaust stream is a high quality heat stream that can be used in a cogeneration system to meet steam or hot water needs co-located in the building. This study reviewed ongoing demonstrations to evaluate micro-turbine technology for possible application at Army installations. |
