Civil Engineering Laboratory Cogeneration Analysis Program - CELCAP User Documentation.
Abstract
This report documents input requirements for the CEL Cogeneration Analysis Program (CELCAP) and includes reference material from which much of the input data can be drawn. A sample of each card is provided. No program listing or output listing is included, however. CELCAP analyzes the performance and economics of cogeneration systems utilizing combustion turbines, diesels, or steam turbines. The effects of engine combinations, engine size, control mode, use of peaking engines, utility rate structure, sale of power to the utility grid, fuel type, fuel price, and future cost escalations can be determined by varying the input. The program computes design point engine performance, compares thermal and electrical loads against engine output, adjusts engine output according to the assumed control mode, and calculates the resulting instantaneous and life cycle costs of operation. The program is written in FORTRAN IV for execution on CDC system with 60 bit words. (Author)
