- Abstract
- The National Bureau of Standards (NBS) has gathered engineering and economic data from an operating diesel total energy plant which supplies all electrical power, hot water, and chilled water to a 485-unit apartment/commercial building complex in Jersey City, New Jersey. Engineering data has been continuously collected since April 1975 by a data acquisition system (DAS) which monitors approximately 200 sensors located in the plant and site buildings. In this report, data for a one-year period from November 1975 through October 1976 is presented. Electrical and thermal demands by the site and plant equipment efficiencies have been determined from this data and are reported. Reliability data is also reported. Relative fuel savings by the total energy plant have been determined from the engineering data. Economic data describing the capital, operating, owning, and maintenance costs during the one-year period are also presented. Unit costs of electrical, heating and cooling energy commodities are determined and compared to conventionally-supplied energy unit costs.
