Grid-connected integrated community energy system. Final report, August 9, 1977--March 22, 1978. Volume I, Phase II. [Clark University]
Clark University represents an attractive site for demonstration of cogeneration. The results of Phase I are briefly reviewed. This report provides an update on issues that were incompletely resolved in the Phase I report. Section 2 provides additional documentation on institutional issues involved...

Section 5 provides a financial analysis based on the design package. In comparison to Phase I, capital costs increased considerably due to the addition of a separate building, fuel treatment, and the use of a more-expensive No. 6-oil-burning engine. It is found, however, that the project continues to be financially viable. Specifically, a 9.4-year-payback period is projected on a total Clark investment of $1.5 million. Total cost, including DOE-financed feasibility studies and demonstration aspects, is projected at $2.2 million. The Clark ICES system is still a generally attractive project. From a national point of view it clearly demonstrates grid-connected cogeneration through the sale of 40% of Clark's output and a net fuel saving of 30%. From Clark's point of view it serves as a sound investment and a useful hedge against inflation and future changes in utility rate structure.
