Improving Pumping System Efficiency at Coal Plants
2009
Overview
The most cost-effective approach to addressing our power generation energy crisis is energy conservation. Improving the efficiency of energy systems will play a major role in solving the energy and environmental problems of the future. Energy efficiency is the least expensive approach to our energy shortage at the power generation and distribution level. The cost of efficiency programs averages about 2 to 3 cents per avoided kilowatt hour, roughly one-fifth the cost of electricity generated from new nuclear, coal and natural gas-fired plants, and energy efficiency does not require new power lines or generate greenhouse gas emissions or radioactive waste. Serious energy efficiency is not a one-shot deal where you pick the low-hanging fruit and you're done. In fact, the 'lessons learned' can be passed on to other plants while the energy savings continue to reap benefits. Furthermore, the efficiency resource never gets exhausted because technological advances continue to spread throughout the industry.
