Clean Local Energy from Community Choice AggregationJohn Farrell
Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs allow local governments to purchase electricity on behalf of their residents and businesses from an alternative supplier while still using existing power lines. CCAs can lower electricity rates, source more renewable energy, and invest savings into local priorities. They give communities control over their energy supply while breaking up utility monopolies. Many regions across the country could implement CCAs to realize greater local benefits from clean, distributed energy resources.

1. Teaching is a process that usually occurs in the classroom where a teacher conveys knowledge and skills to students. The goal is to impart knowledge, change attitudes and behaviors, and provide life experiences.
2. Teaching requires diagnosing students' entry behaviors and abilities, setting educational objectives, and analyzing available resources. It also involves selecting appropriate content and teaching methods tailored to individual students.
3. For teaching to be effective there must be interaction between the teacher as the independent variable working to influence students as the dependent variable through intervening variables like content, methods, and environment.

Cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP), is the simultaneous generation of electrical or mechanical power and useful thermal energy from a single process or system. It can achieve overall fuel efficiencies of over 80% by capturing heat that would otherwise be wasted from power generation. Trigeneration refers to the addition of an absorption chiller to produce cooling from the waste heat. Cogeneration technologies include gas turbines, steam turbines, internal combustion engines, microturbines, and fuel cells. Cogeneration can provide economic and environmental benefits through improved efficiency and reduced emissions.
The document discusses microturbines and combined heat and power (CHP) systems from an owner's perspective. Microturbines are small, self-contained power plants that are fueled primarily by natural gas and provide both electricity and heat. They offer improved economics, environment, and reliability compared to traditional power generation. The document also provides an example project of installing microturbines at a New York City commercial building, showing the system configuration and projected savings, payback period, and environmental benefits.
Combined heat and power (CHP) refers to the use of a production unit's exhaust heat for another process requirement, improving energy utilization. By capturing waste heat, overall thermal efficiency can increase from 40-50% to 70-90%. CHP installations can be large or small, using fuels like natural gas or biomass, and are used for industrial steam production, agriculture heating, district heating, and small-scale building heating. CHP provides benefits like high efficiency, reduced emissions, cost savings, and power reliability.
