or upgrades, including components or

subsystems (e.g., gas compressors,

recuperators, and combustors).

3. Petroleum Industry

Applications will be accepted for

applied research and testing of motors

and other energy-using equipment in

domestic oil fields to assess usage and

modify or replace equipment to reduce

energy costs. Examples of efforts with

the states could include, but are not

limited to: (a) Improving sensor and

control technologies for reducing

electricity demand in the oil fields; (b)

developing models for field energy use

assessments; and (3) developing

guidelines for equipment replacement.

4. Schools

Applications will be accepted for

applied research and technology field

validations/operational tests which

accelerate adoption of new technologies

to improve the energy efficiency of

school facilities. This work should be

focused in the following areas:

(a) Building Technologies—Conduct

applied research and technology field

testing through an integrated buildings

approach in a range of technology areas,

such as: space conditioning and

refrigeration; other energy-efficient

appliances; super-efficient windows and

lighting; productivity enhancing

approaches (e.g., increased daylighting);

and peak shaving/load shifting

technologies that reduce peak air

conditioning demand during the day.

(b) Advanced Technologies—Conduct

applied research and field testing of (i)

distributed generation technologies,

including but not limited to, fuel cell,

microturbine and cogeneration

applications in school facilities; and (ii)

advanced energy technologies for use in

school facilities.

mechanism that will take the results of

the building and advanced technologies

research and field testing and integrate

them into a comprehensive program

which supports, but is not limited to,

the development of technical design

guidelines for new school construction

and renovations which will be used by

architects, engineers and product

manufacturers. Emphasis also will be

placed on building design and financing

templates and related facilitation of

financial assistance aimed at integrated

building efficiency improvements.

5. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and

Distributed Power

Applications will be accepted for

work involving distributed power and

combined heat and power technologies.

This work includes, but is not limited

to, applied research and field testing to

address:

technologies, consistent and

streamlined siting and permitting

regulations, and an equipment precertification program to avoid long and

costly permitting delays;

(b) New commercial and industrial

development and urban infill

redevelopment for distributed

generation utilizing several DOE

developed technologies (e.g., fuel cells,

microturbines, industrial turbines,

photovoltaics, wind, solar geothermal

and energy storage) and demand-side

management measures to examine

systemic operational parameters and

capabilities;

(c) Advanced distributed power and

combined heat and power technologies

at state and federal facilities; and

(d) Hybrid applications (e.g., hybrid

wind/fuel cell/microturbine

applications) for institutional and

commercial application.

6. Data Acquisition

Applications will be accepted for: (a)

Reviewing and developing

complementary State and Federal

energy data sets; (b) expanding energy

data sets; and (c) redesigning federal

and state data collection instruments to

evaluate the changing structure of the

electric power industry and the natural

gas industry.

7. Transportation

Emphasis should be placed upon

applied research and technology field

validations/operational tests designed to

maximize the benefits of clean and

efficient vehicle technologies. These

activities include, but are not limited to:

(a) Testing alternative fuels performance

in on-road vehicles under operating

conditions to test propulsion systems;

(b) research on operating a refueling

infrastructure for alternative fuel

vehicles; (c) transportation applications,

such as fuel cells, hybrid propulsion

systems, motors, controllers, and

sensors.

party. ANR asserts that transportation of

the gas commenced on February 7,

1985. ANR states that Texas Gas has

requested that the parties terminate the

transportation service effective February

27, 2000 and requests that authority to

abandon the transportation service

provided under Rate Schedule X–153 be
