      <title>STIRLING TOTAL ENERGY SYSTEMS STUDY. FINAL REPORT, MAY 15, 1976--JUNE 13, 1977</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/75331</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The application of Stirling cycle prime movers to total energy power generation systems was investigated. Electrical, heating, and cooling demand profiles for a typical residential complex, hospital, and office building were studied, and alternative Stirling total energy systems were conceptualized for each site. These were analyzed in detail and contrasted with purchased-power systems for these sites to determine fuel-energy savings and investment attractiveness. The residential complex and hospital would be excellent candidates for total energy systems, and prime movers in the 1000 kW output range would be required. Stirling engines with so large an output have not been built to date, although there would be no fundamental technical barrier to prevent this. However, careful consideration must be given to the following technological decision areas before arriving at a final design, if its potential is to be realized: engine configuration, hotside heat exchange interface, engine control system, internal gas seals, and advanced coal combustion technology. The principal advantage of a Stirling prime mover in this application, in view of national concern over present and future dependence on oil, is that it could utilize low-grade liquid fuels and coal.]]></description>

      <title>INVENTORY OF ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: 1973-1975, VOLUME II. SERIAL U</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/49153</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Volume II contains abstracts in the following subject areas: (1) electric power generation; and (2) energy uses and conservation. The following methods of electric power generation are discussed: fossil fueled and unspecified; fission fueled; hydroelectric; nuclear fusion; MHD and EFD; and direct methods. In the section on energy uses and conservation the following energy uses are treated: heating and cooling; lighting; applicances and equipment; industrial and manufacturing processes; transportation; agricultural; medical; military; and communications.]]></description>

      <title>A PROGRAM TO EVALUATE AND DEMONSTRATE CONSERVATION OF FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30480</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report outlines a program which will demonstrate reduction in the United States fossil-fuel energy usage, particularly residential, shopping and commuting. Goals include combining more efficient energy use with low-energy structures to demonstrate that fuel consumption in single-family dwellings can be cut at least in half, reducing fuel consumption further, and where solar flux is adequate, replacing use of fossil fuels in the single-family home with high temperature solar energy and demonstrating a solar-powered, thermal-storage car for short trips.]]></description>
