The paper examines design and operating data of current concentrated solar power (CSP) 11 solar tower (ST) plants. The study includes CSP with or without boost by combustion of natural gas 12 (NG), and with or without thermal energy storage (TES). The latest, actual specific costs per 13 installed capacity are very high, 6085 $/kW for Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System (ISEGS) 14 with no ...

The article is dedicated to the one of many options a practical application pyrolysis gas generator, which its installation on typical river-class tow vessel. essence idea power plant that includes filtering system, and electric engines would drive generator inverted type able create flammable out either wood, or charcoal, so-called RDF (the should be taken specific proportion ingredients, corr...

production of electricity for promotion of people’s welfares is inevitable.there are about 54000 mw of various power plants in iran. the type of power plants includes gas, steam, combined, hydro and a very minute amount of wind mills. the per capita electricity production is about 2200 kwh. power plants can impose adverse environmental impacts during construction and utilization phases. envir...

most of electricity is generated by thermal power plants in iran. shahid rajaee thermal power plant consists of four 250mw natural gas and fuel oil burning units that is located at 100 km west off tehran. as a result of fuel oil burning in winter time, boilers air heaters are washed and cleaned frequently. the wastewater originating from air heater washing contains suspended solids and differen...

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...

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...

Towards the development and demonstration of an innovative business model where value proposition for consumers/prosumers, aggregators network operators are well maintained, this study assesses performance different aggregation control strategies a distributed energy storage based residential virtual power plant (VPP). A special focus is given on social welfare strength their relation to capaci...

It is widely recognized that fossil fuel power plants will continue to play an important role in the energy supply for a large number of countries in the decades to come. The implementation of suitable carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies is an essential task to meet the objective of reducing green house gas emissions into the atmosphere and obtaining a sustainable power generation fro...
