THE question of whether to heat our houses by gas or electricity is discussed in an article in the Nineteenth Century and After of June by Prof. W. A. Bone. He is naturally proud of the progress made by the gas industry during the past hundred years....
per therm and electricity 0.5d. per unit, the cost of the crude heat per therm delivered by the gas company would be 6d. and by the electric company 14.7d. In a few years' time we hope that more companies will be supplying at these cheap rates. If the thermal electric storage were ...
In September, the year-over-year inflation rate for energy services such as gas and electricity was nearly 20%. According to a recent report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 47% of all U.S. households use natural gas to heat their homes, and the agency forecasts that...
and income; and (vii) considering the nation as a whole, it is found that residential consumption of natural gas, electricity and heating oil is more elastic with respect to price than to income in the short and long run; that residential, commercial and industrial demand for electricity are...
Electricity and gas have largely ___ ___ ___ ___ coal for cooking and heating. 在做饭和取暖方面,电和煤气在很大程度上已经取代了煤。
It is discussed that the thermodynamic argument against electricity can be put to rest if heat pumps are used. When heat pumps are used, the overall thermodynamic efficiency, counting losses in electric generation and transmission, can be brought up to the level for oil and natural gas. Like ...
This paper proposes a distributed robust synergistic scheduling method for multi-EH based IES coupled with electricity, natural gas, heating and cooling, to minimize the operating cost of the IES while considering the uncertainties of renewable generations (RGs) and multi-energy load demands. The ...

Italy hopes the curbs will cut its gas consumption by 3.2 billion cubic metres in the period from August-March and aims to cut a further 2.1 bcm by using alternative fuel supplies to generate electricity. Among a raft of measures, the document envisaged an increase in the output from ...
economically rewarding only when the inter-dependencies of energy prices for electricity and natural gas (NG) are properly accounted for. The goal of this study is to determine the optimal hourly energy prices for electricity and NG for a non-autonomous CCHP system using particle swarm optimization...
