introduction: the major target of this paper shows effect of selected decision variables in the steam system foroptimization of thermal combined cycle power plant.material and method: exergoeconomic, and other similar terms used to imply the combined thermodynamicand economic analysis of energy systems, which helps to increase the efficiency of a plant without jeopardizingits economic viability...

abstract: enviromental concerns, improvements in renewable energy technologies, governmental incentives for the use of these resources, and increased t&d; costs, are the main factors driving the energy sector into a new era, where considerable portions of electrical demand will be met through widespread installation of distributed energy resources (ders). the virtual power plant (vpp) is a dece...

Energy efficiency is ABB's business. So too is raising productivity for industry and increasing power plant output, as well as ensuring that facilities and processes operate reliably and the power grids they are connected to are stable. These four themes – energy efficiency, productivity, reliability and stability – are intimately connected. When ABB improves the energy efficiency of a power pl...

Background: The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in soil around a coal-fired thermal power plant of northwest China were investigated for assessing the radioactivity level. Materials and Methods: Soil samples were collected around the coal-fired thermal power plant and their radioactivity levels were determined using gamma ray spectrometry. Radiation hazards were assessed by rad...

a microgravity survey was conducted for detecting the sink-holes at site of a power plant. pits, man-made tunnels and canals were considered as topographical effects and were corrected. to show the capability of the method two sites in a power plant have been surveyed for existing areas which can be affected by sink-holes overnight. ground shakes due to the running facilities were also preventi...

background: the concentrations and distributions of natural and anthropogenic radioactive materials in soils of the site of rooppur nuclear power plant (rnpp) were investigated with the aim of evaluating the environmental radioactivity and radiation hazard. materials and methods: soil samples were collected from 40 locations in and around the proposed site of rooppur power plant and determined ...

Based on the conceptual design of Laser Driven IFE Power Plant, the technical and physical issues have been examined. R&D on key issues that affect the feasibility of power plant have been proceeded taking into account the collaboration in the field of laser driver, fuel pellet, reaction chamber and system design. It is concluded that the technical feasibility of IFE power plant seems to be rea...
