Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to assess the potential applicability of various types of total energy systems to military installations. The types of energy systems considered include diesel, gas turbine, steam turbine, geothermal, solar, nuclear, and solid wastes. Fuel savings are given for each type of system, and their costs are compared with the costs of conventional systems. The two most promising systems are 1 solar energy applied to heating and cooling, and 2 nuclear power.
