Assessment of potential wood supply for intermediate scale thermoconversion facilities, Tasks I, II, III

Description: The Department of Energy's Biomass Thermochemical Conversion Program has been concerned with the potential of wood biomass to contribute to the Nation's energy supply. One of the factors inhibiting the selection of wood biomass for energy by non-forest industries, especially by those requiring large quantities (500 to 2000 green tons per day), is concern with adequate fuel supply in terms of both a supply system and an adequate resource base. With respect to the latter, this report looks at the… more

Solar availability for winter space heating: an analysis of the calendar period 1953-1975

Description: Solar availability for space heating has been determined from an analysis of SOLMET data tapes for eight US sites. The tapes contain hourly readings of insolation and ambient temperature for the period 1953-1975. Scatter-diagrams of insolation versus heating degree-days, compiled on a daily basis, indicate a wide variation in insolation levels, even during periods of coldest weather. For seven of the eight sites, the peak-day backup energy required by a solar space heating system exceeded 85% o… more
