gas turbines play an important role in supplying power for the country especially in peak electricity load. the main disadvantages are the turbines, they produce large changes are a result of climate change. however, in times of peak electricity grid and at the same time warm months, can produce gas turbines under the effect of ambient temperature, the amount of reduced considerably. the method...

This paper presents the integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) study of the Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) system in Fengcheng thermal power plant in China. The FGD systems have been installed in a power generation plant to reduce the large amount of SO2 emission. Studies to appraise FGD system in power plant have mainly focused on economic analysis. This paper gi...

Introduction of closed cycle gas turbines with their capability of retaining combustion generated CO2 can offer a valuable contribution to the Kyoto goal and to future power generation. Therefore research and development at Graz University of Technology since the 90's has lead to the Graz Cycle, a zero emission power cycle of highest efficiency. It burns fossil fuels with pure oxygen which enab...

This extended abstract presents a decision support system based on decision-theoretic planning techniques. Its goal is to provide power plant operators with useful recommendations to (i) maintain a plant running under safe conditions, and (ii) to deal with process transients when an unexpected event occurs. We use the formalism of partially observable Markov decision processes as the core of an...

In cooperation with Rolls-Royce and Lund University, a combined cycle power plant was modelled, simulated and optimised in the new software framework, the GTPOM tool, developed through the recent EC FP5 programme. The goal was not only to calibrate its component models but also to show how this new tool can be used. This paper presents the gas turbine and combined cycle whole plant modelling an...
