Policy Problems

The energy crisis has, at least for the time being, been replaced in newspaper headlines and public attention by other, more fashionable, and seemingly more pressing preoccupations. In the United States, for example, the dilemmas posed by the shortages and spiralling price increases of the 1970s gave way to different policy problems and the Reagan Administration has all but ceased to consider the energy question important.

Abstract Solar-powered organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is considered a promising technology and has the potential to provide clean electric energy. Extensive studies on the design of ORC systems have been conducted and reported in the literature. However, few studies have presented the influence of climate zones on the performance of a solar-powered ORC, especially for an integrated ORC and energy storage system. This paper presents an analysis to determine the performance of solar-powered ORCs with electric energy storage (EES) systems to supply electricity to buildings in different climate zones in the United States. The building type evaluated in this paper is a large office, and the energy consumption of the facility in each climate location was determined using EnergyPlus. The ORC-EES operational strategy used in this investigation is described as follows: when solar irradiation is adequate to produce power, the ORC charges the EES. Then, when there is no solar energy available, the EES provides power to the building. The ORC-EES is evaluated based on the potential to reduce the operational cost, the primary energy consumption, and the carbon dioxide emission. Furthermore, the influence of the number of solar collectors and the EES size on the performance of the ORC-EES system is investigated.

The Subject

At the time of writing, the newspapers are filled with the subject of the energy crisis. Retail prices of gasoline have gone up significantly; gas stations often are out' of gasoline and frequently closed. The Arab oil states embargo, however, has been partially lifted. A most favored list of nations, including Britain, France, and Spain, will now be able to import all the Arab oil they require. Japan will obtain aggregate oil supplies amounting to not less than its average imports of Arab oil during the month of September 1973. Embargoed states such as the United States and Holland, whose supplies of Arab oil have been cut off, continue in that situation. It is important to emphasize that this is the condition at the time of writing because by the time this paper is read, it is entirely possible that the situation will be quite different. Every day something new occurs in this vital area.
