Rapid selection and optimization of reciprocating engine power and cogeneration systems.
RECIPRO is an Excel add-in that enables plant engineers and consultants to rapidly evaluate and optimize cogeneration system selection for hotels, hospitals, institutional buildings and small industrial applications. RECIPRO is simple and bottom-line oriented, starting from the monthly utility bills. RECIPRO can generate detailed predictions of energy savings for hundreds of cogeneration system options, using an extensive database of reciprocating engines, ranging from 70 kW to 11 MW. The program considers daily load profile variations for electrical, heating, and air-conditioning loads and can analyze the effect of substituting absorption chillers for electrically driven units to make better use of cogenerated heat. RECIPRO evaluates different operating scenarios, identifying the savings for each. RECIPRO also allows different on-peak and off-peak pricing, and different electricity prices for purchase and sale.
