Refrigerated Warehouse Operation Under Real Time Pricing
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2000)Refrigerated warehouses play an essential role in the food delivery chain. The construction and operation of refrigerated storage is growing. Because of the relatively high energy intensity associated with the operation ... -
Rennebohm Hall Building Simulation and Analysis of Energy Monitoring Potential
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2006)This project explores energy saving opportunities for Rennebohm Hall, a campus research facility on the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Building simulation, fault detection, and energy monitoring were investigated ... -
A Semi-Empirical Method for Modeling Reciprocating Compressors in Residential Refrigerators and Freezers
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1999)Calorimeter testing data for domestic refrigerator/freezer compressors have been collected. The current method to represent compressor performance data recommended by the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute ... -
Simplified Performance Modeling of a Direct-Coupled Photovoltaic Systems
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1989)This thesis introduces a new method to estimate the long-term performance of direct-coupled and maximum power-tracked photovoltaic (PV) systems without battery storage. A number of models exist for estimating maximum ... -
Simulation and Experimental Analysis of Transport Phenomena During the Thermal Processing of Meat Emulsion Products
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1995) -
Simulation and Performance Evaluation of Parabolic Trough Solar Power Plants
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2006)Nine Solar Electric Generation Systems (SEGS) built in southern California between 1984 and 1990 continue to produce 14-80 [MWe] of utility-scale electric power each from solar thermal energy input. The systems collect ... -
Simulation of Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Systems for HVAC Energy Conservation in an Animal Housing Facility
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2003)Implementation of energy conservation measures in buildings can extend our use of finite resources while simultaneously reducing our impact on the environment. This project summarizes efforts to identify economically-viable ... -
Simulation of Grid-Tied Building Integrated Photovoltaic Systems
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1998) -
Simulation of Ground Coupled Vertical U-Tube Heat Exchangers
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1997)Ground coupled heat pumps are an efficient alternative to conventional methods of conditioning homes, because instead of using the ambient air they utilize the ground as an energy source or sink. However, ground coupled ... -
Solar Radiation Data Analysis
(1986) -
Supermarket Refrigeration Options
(1991)
