Electricity generation in thermal power plants as the largest producer of electricity in Iran is associated with greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, using the Malmquist-Luenberger method, green productivity, and efficiency changes are measured for 31 thermal power plants (including 12 steam power plants, 13 gas power plants, and six combined cycle power plants) during 2009-2016. The result...

anaging power generation assets is a complex and challenging task. From the perspective of a regulated utility, the objective is to satisfy its customers and minimise costs. The focus of other energy service companies operating in a deregulated market is on profit maximisation. Large power companies may hold many assets that include a variety of fossil-fuelled power plants such as coal, gas or ...

The proposals have also drawn anger from the energy industry. Kathleen Sgamma, a director of the Western Energy Alliance, which represents 400 oil and natural-gas companies, said the new policy could block some promising lands from drilling. “They’re treating lands arbitrarily as de facto wildernesses,” she said. And Dean Heller, a Republican representative from Nevada, said: “The message of th...

â  performance and capacity of sulfur recovery unit (sru) are greatly affected by the h2s:co2 ratio of the acid gas stream. the acid gases in iran contain around 35 mol% h2s and 60 mol% co2. this low concentration of h2s calls for more complex sulfur plant, larger equipments, and higher costs. acid gas enrichment processes (age) is run to upgrade low quality acid gas collected from gas treating...

Energy, due to its increasing usage in various broad areas has been maintained as a vital factor in economic growth and development of societies. Meanwhile, natural gas is considered as one of the most important energy sources. Therefore, the efficiency and the productivity of the gas companies are crucial to be assessed. Numerous examples from industrial multistage processes including internal...
