USACA has contributed to the production of four landmark advanced ceramic industry publications in the past five years, with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Industrial Technologies:
Advanced Ceramics Technology Roadmap - Charting Our Course
(Adobe PDF).
- Also available from USACA in hard copy - see our contact information
- The document sets forth the research, development and demonstrations needed for improving advanced ceramics. Achievement of the RD&D will significantly improve energy efficiency and productivity in many industries and sectors and help them reach their performance targets for 2020.
Advanced Ceramics for Distributed Energy; -Manufacturing Challenges and Needs April 15, 2004 Workshop Results
Distributed Generation Sourcebook: 2004 Edition
(Adobe PDF).
- This Sourcebook is intended to serve both as a learning tool and a
handbook, and provides a detailed look at the different types of DG
applications and technologies, the DG marketplace, interconnection issues,
successful installations, barriers to implementation, the baseline of
currently installed DG, and an estimate of the future market potential for
DG. The Sourcebook also includes a glossary and a directory of DG
manufacturers.
Updated for 2004, this edition features new chapters, case studies and
more. Examples of some changes to the Sourcebook include a new chapter
showing details on the installed base of DG, a new chapter showing
estimates of the future market potential for DG, and an updated
technologies chapter where steam turbines, combined cycle turbines, and
Stirling engines have been added.
