Cogeneration and Decentralized Electricity Production

About the Book and Authors

New federal and state laws providing tax credits and markets to independent producers of electricity have created widespread interest in the development of small, dispersed power plants using cogeneration processes, waste, or renewable resources. Recent legislation also promotes decentralized electricity production by allowing unregulated, non-utility-owned generators to sell power to the regulated utility grid. These changes have stimulated considerable commercial activity, especially in cogeneration of steam and electricity. This book assesses the key technology alternatives and their cost-effectiveness and discusses the policy changes needed to promote decentralized power production to the fullest extent.

The authors are professors affiliated with the Science and Public Policy Program at the University of Oklahoma.

This book is based on a study originally undertaken with the support of the National Science Foundation, Office of Policy Research and Analysis. We wish to express our appreciation to Frank Huband, Program Manager, and Jane Dionne, Project Officer, for their support and encouragement. Although the project was funded by the National Science Foundation, the opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this book are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

Several other persons also deserve recognition for their contributions to the original study or the preparation of this book. These are: Bradly J. Furnish, Graduate Research Assistant in Economics; Earl Council, Professor of Electric Engineering, Louisiana Tech University; Michael J. Kilmartin, Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering; and Krishna Kidambi and Girish Thakar, Graduate Research Assistants in Industrial Engineering, University of Oklahoma.

Members of an expert panel who assisted in identifying key issues and participated in a workshop to review preliminary findings are: Karl H. Bergey, Bergey Windpower; Herb Blinder, American Public Power Association; Peter Brown, Energy Law Institute; Alan S. Miller, Natural Resources Defense Council; James C. Liles, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; Larry Schroeder, Oklahoma Corporation Commission; David Silverstone, Attorney-at-Law; and Maurice Woods, Waste Systems Incorporated. Other persons that have provided valuable critiques of draft materials and assisted the research team in other ways are: David M. Elliot, Public Service Company of Oklahoma; Theresa A. Flaim, Solar Energy Research Institute; Jenifer Robison, Office of Technology Assessment; and Oliver S. Yu, Electric Power Research Institute.

This book could not have been completed without the assistance of a dedicated support staff. Members of the staff work closely with the authors and are an integral part of the research approach of the Science and Public Policy Program. Staff members have included Mary Zimbelman (formerly Assistant to the Director), Lennet Bledsoe (Assistant to the Director), Emily Terrell (Resource Librarian), Sue Stamper, Eileen Hasselwander, and Carol Bernstein (Word Processing Operators), and Karen Yuhaschek-Trest, Instructional Services (Graphics Artist). We are particularly indebted to Lennet Bledsoe for her tireless efforts in coordinating, organizing, and producing this book.
