May 25, 2005—The Industrial Technologies Program of US Department of Energy (DOE) offers industry a suite of assessment and analysis software tools to help identify key opportunities for reducing costs, saving energy and improving the performance of industrial energy systems. Now, ITP expands the tool suite further by introducing these three new software tools on the BestPractices Web site.
Plant Energy Profiler for the Chemical Industry (ChemPEP) is a robust tool to help chemical industry energy managers determine overall plant energy use, identify major energy-using equipment, review cost distributions, and locate areas of improvement.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Application Tool helps industrial users evaluate the feasibility of CHP for heating systems, such as fuel-fired furnaces, boilers, ovens, heaters, and heat exchangers. Use the tool to estimate system costs and payback period, and to perform what-if analysis for various utility costs.
Chilled Water System Analysis Tool (CWSAT) helps users determine system energy requirements and evaluate opportunities for energy and costs savings by applying improvement measures.
Download these new tools, free of charge, and review the entire suite of ITP from the BestPractices web site.
