Power plant operation and monitoring systems will incorporate more and more multimedia information and technology, bringing a sense of visual reality into the control room and providing more effective communication using a richer vocabulary of media. We outline several new advanced techniques of ongoing research for organizing, communicating, browsing, and filtering integrated power plant contr...

The reliability of the GTPPS were analyzed based on a five and half -year failure database. Such reliability has been estimated by selecting Proper model and different models for repairable system analysis were discussed. The reliability estimation by using Nonhomogenious process and Homogenous renewal Process are explained. Non Homogeneous Process was further divided into Power law Process and...

The paper highlights the urgency of utilizing and promoting use of non conventional sources, particularly the wind and solar energy, so as to control the environmental pollution, such as ozone layer depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, global warming etc. As a case study, the various performance factors of a 10 kW hybrid (wind and solar) power plant, which is having 60:40 power gener...

Today, the operation of sustainable power plants mainly relies on visualization of power production. Measurement data of such power plants are often discarded. We show the idle potential of such data by applying a state of the art algorithm to recognize malfunctions in a photovoltaic power plant. Up to now, these failures could only be found by manual inspection of the power plant every six wee...

combined cycle performance can be improved by improving the performance of gas turbine based topping cycle. amongst various options the effective cooling of gas turbine blade for realizing the higher turbine inlet temperatures is one of the attractive options. the present paper deals with the thermodynam-ic analysis of advanced technology gas/steam combined cycle based power plant having closed...

data envelopment analysis (dea) and balanced scorecard (bsc) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (dmus). bsc is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, dea is more appropriate. in the real-world, dmus usually have complex structures such as network structures. one of the well-known network s...
