Renewable energy has led to a sharp decline in coal-based power and nuclear energy over the past decade, but natural gas-based electricity production increased during that period.
With 120,000 tons of firm capacity, 350 million-plus ton-hours per year of annual load, and a 2020 peak load of 78,600 ton, TECO’s power demand had grown enough to push the plant over the existing CHP’s capacity.
Advanced district energy networks are now using hot water — not just steam — to create flexible and cost-effective heating solutions for universities, hospitals, business complexes and more.
Recently, Tommy Olsen, market segment coordinator for cogeneration and pool heating products at Lochinvar, sat down with Engineered Systems editor-in-chief, Herb Woerpel, to discuss the CHP market, the company’s partnership with EC Power, and more.
Fisonic Devices (FDs) are heat exchangers, pumps, and mixers with patented optimized internal geometry. The theory of Fisonic devices was developed by Professor Fisenko by addressing safety problems of the Russian nuclear submarines during the disruption of the air tightness of reactor cavity (Ref 1-2).
