摘要

According to many industry experts, we have alreadyrnreached the top of our gas bubble – the rate of discovery ofrnfuture gas reserves is increasing at a pace slower than thernrate of increase in demand. These experts paint anrnunfavorable scenario for the day that the supply andrndemand curves intersect. Some pundits believe thisrnintersection could be as soon as 2025.rnWe can have optimism for the long-term prospects ofrnenergy because numerous initiatives are under way tornreplace our dependence on finite supplies of fossil fuels. Arnmultitude of government and private programs promise tornincrease the feasibility of renewable energy sources such asrnhydrogen, solar, wind and biogas. Perhaps the energyrn“wreck” that some experts are forecasting will bernforestalled forever by the introduction of renewable energyrninto the daily routines of our personal and business lives.rnAn added risk for delivery of reliable power is thernelectricity transmission infrastructure. While investmentsrnin electric generation assets continue to increase, especiallyrnsince 2000, investments and upgrades to transmissionrnsystems continue to decrease year after year.rnIn the meanwhile, until that 20 to 30 year “wreck” isrnforecast to occur, we have opportunity to take action thatrnwill sustain us while we still have reliable supply of fossilrnfuels. According to the US Department of Energy,rncombined cooling, heating and power (CHP) is an essentialrnelement in the distributed generation portfolio oftenrnmaking the economic and environmental differencernbetween success and failure of a project. CHP has beenrncalled the bridge to a sustainable energy future.rnIn support of the DOE’s vision for a clean and sustainablernenergy future is the Distributed Energy Program. TheDOE program emphasizes development of next generationrndistributed energy solutions that promise to make on-siternelectric generation an integral part of the electric deliveryrnsystem of the future.rnIn 2002 the DOE received proposals in response to theirrnsolicitation to create innovative packaged CHP solutions tornmeet the needs of specific buildings. When responding tornthe DOE’s request Burns & McDonnell had availablernnumerous options for prime movers and for thermallyrnactivated technologies but decided early in the process onlyrnto consider equipment that would make economic sense inrnhigh low electric cost areas such as Texas. If a CHPrnsystem makes sense in Texas, then replication potentialrnwould be great elsewhere.rnTo configure a CHP to perform successfully in Texas fromrna technical perspective places a priority for HVAC cooling,rnrather than heating, by recycling the exhaust heat. And tornraise the stakes even higher, any CHP system must complyrnwith Texas’s stringent emissions rules. The only way tornhave a successful CHP system with such high performancernbenchmarks will require extra ordinarily high efficienciesrnfrom the input fuel. While a 55 to 65% efficient systemrnmay be favorable on the West coast and the northeast,rnefficiencies greater than 75% were required in Texas.rnAchieving such high efficiencies (or such a low systemrnheat rate) is a daunting challenge. To get maximum impactrnfrom the recycled exhaust energy Burns & McDonnellrnengineers determined that by indirectly firing an absorptionrnchiller by using all of the recovered exhaust heat was thernticket to higher efficiencies and lowest emissions. And sornthey picked unique combination of a Solar TurbinesrnCentaur gas combustion turbine that would indirectly firernits exhaust heat into a Broad USA absorption chiller. With the equipment configuration decided, Burns &rnMcDonnell created a public-private partnership consistingrnof Austin Energy (contributing $5.3M), DOE’s Oak RidgernNational Laboratory (contributing $3M), Burns &rnMcDonnell of Kansas City, Missouri as design-builder andrnsystem integrator, Solar Turbines Incorporated as supplier ofrnthe prime mover and Broad USA as supplier for thernabsorption chiller. Turbine Air Systems of Houston wasrnadded to the team later as an exclusive subcontractor andrnprovided shop fabricated skid packages to reducerninstallation time during site construction.rnOn June 14, 2004, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held inrnAustin, Texas, to inaugurate the commencement ofrnoperations for this unique CHP configuration. The newrnAustin Energy CHP system is an exciting addition to anrnexisting district energy system at an industrial park calledrnThe Domain. The district system provides chilled water,rnsteam and compressed air to more than 1 million sq ft ofrnoffice, retail, industrial and residential space.rnThe DOE’s vision of a sustainable energy future is emergingrnwith this large scale CHP system that uses waste-heatrnexhaust from a natural gas-fired turbine-driven generator asrnthe only fuel source for a chiller providing air conditioningrnand heating. This innovative plant can be the basis forrnreplication of similar CHP systems while making arnsignificant contribution toward the DOE’s effort to doublernthe amount of CHP in the United States from the 1999 levelrnof 46 GW to 96 GW by 2010.
