Austin Energy: Pumping System Improvement Project Saves Energy and Improves Performance at a Power Plant

Austin Energy: Pumping System Improvement Project Saves Energy and Improves Performance at a Power Plant

NREL

Research output: NLR › Fact Sheet

Abstract

This two-page performance spotlight describes how, in 2004, Austin Energy (the electric utility for the city of Austin, Texas) began saving about $1.2 million in energy and maintenance costs annually as a direct result of a pumping system efficiency project. The project was designed to improve the efficiency of the circulating water pumping system serving the utility's 405-MW steam turbine. A U.S. Department of Energy Qualified Pumping System Assessment Tool Specialist at Flowserve Corporation assisted in the initial assessment of the system.
