Development of CO2Emission Factor by Fuel and CO2analysis at Sub-bituminous Fired Power Plant

Improvement of Efficiency of Coal-Fired Steam Power Plant by Reducing Heat Rejection Temperature at Condenser Using Kalina Cycle

This paper proposes an approach for improving the plant efficiency by reducing the heat rejection temperature of power cycle using Kalina Cycle System 11 (KCS11) which is integrated at the steam condenser of a 500 MWe SubC (subcritical) coal-fired power plant. It is modelled by using power plant simulation software ‘Cycle Tempo’ at different plant operating conditions. Results show t...

Flexibility and Technology Choice in Gas Fired Power Plant Investments

The value of a gas fired power plant depends on the spark spread, defined as the difference between the unit price of electricity and the cost of gas. We model the spark spread using two-factor model, allowing mean-reversion in short-term variations and uncertainty in the equilibrium price to which prices revert. We analyze two types of gas plants. The first type is a base load plant, generatin...

Thermoeconomic operation optimization of a coal-fired power plant

Thermoeconomic models, which combine the concept of cost in the field of economics and the concept of exergy in the field of thermodynamics, provide a possibility of optimizing complex energy-generating systems to achieve a best balance between thermodynamic efficiency and economic cost (including investment cost and operation cost). For the first time, operation optimization on a 300 MW coal-f...
