Organizational learning (OL) is a crucial component of operational excellence in nuclear power plants. OL relies on performance assessments, change management and continuous improvements. OL has become increasingly important for the nuclear industry with regards to adaptation to changes in the political and economic environment, work force, technology within plants, and organizations of the nuc...

To integrate more renewable energy into the power grid, large-scale thermal plants have to extend their operating ranges and participating in deep peak shaving. In order improve economy of shaving, determine performance a system under different conditions, method modeling for prediction shaving is proposed. algorithm design model, three-layer iterative cycle logic constructed, coupling relation...

Fly ash resistivity is a single parameter which has got significant impact over sizing and performance of Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) in coal based thermal power plants. A fly ash resistivity measurement facility has been set up at IIT Delhi with the support of National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), USA and USAID-India. The fly ash samples from different power plant are being collec...

in a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. this is achieved in a cooling tower. the heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout iran. wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. previous studi...

The purpose of this study is to comparatively evaluate four types of advanced conceptual power plants based on coal. With efficiency, costof-electricity, and emissions as main criteria, the evaluation was made under consistent design conditions and economic assumptions. The plants considered are a supercritical steam power plant (SC 580◦C), an indirectly coal-fired power system (HIPPS), an adva...

This paper investigated the performance of Malaysian power plants from year 2015 to 2017 using Malmquist Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index, which is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). approach offers substantial advantages as compared other existing methods it can measure productivity changes over time for a variety inputs and outputs. Moreover, comprises two primary components: tech...
