In recent years significant progress has been made in the development of market applications for hydrogen fuel use in gas turbines. These applications include integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and other types of process/power plants. Development of a new application using gas turbines for significant reduction of power plant CO2 emissions has initiated extensive efforts to expand th...

In the context of CO2 emissions reduction from power plants, CO2 removal from flue gas by chemical absorption with monoethanolamine is analyzed in detail. By applying process integration and multi-objective optimization techniques the influence of the operating conditions on the thermo-economic performance and on the optimal thermal integration within a power plant is studied. With the aim of p...

This article presents a new continuous-time model for long-term scheduling of a gas engine power plant with parallel units. Gas engines are shutdown according to a regular maintenance plan that limits the number of hours spent online. To minimize salary expenditure with skilled labor, a single maintenance team (shared by the gas engines) is considered which is unavailable during certain periods...
