Industrial plant and particularly new electric power plant are important emission sources generally surrounding large, medium and small cities. Energy forecasts indicate that the growing demand for electricity will require the construction of more electric power plant that use different fuels. In Spain, the growing electricity demand has been met with natural gas fueled combined cycle electric ...

In this study the electric power generation from the Kayabogazi Dam has been investigated using Fuzzy logic algorithm to optimize the required power demand. In the implementation of the algorithm the real data recorded by the State Water Works (DSI) which is representing monthly average water flow to the Kayabogazi Dam has been used. An easy and operator friendly control algorithm has been deve...

In order to search for economically and environmentally optimized fusion reactors, physics properties, engineering designs and the cost of electricity (COE) are evaluated by the PEC (Physics-Engineering-Cost) system code for several magnetic confinement fusion reactors including tokamak (TR), helical (HR) and spherical tokamak (ST) reactors. The life-cycle CO2 emission amounts are also evaluate...

In this paper, we develop a modeling and computational framework that allows for the determination of optimal carbon taxes applied to electric power plants in the context of electric power supply chain (generation/distribution/consumption) networks. The adoption of carbon/pollution taxes both internationally and regionally has been fueled by global climate change and fuel security risks with a ...

Grounding provides safety and in some cases a return circuit for load currents and also an uniform distribution of the voltage on the surface of the earth at power plants. If grounding conductors are damaged, it may cause unintended protective relay operation causing feeders to be tripped. It can also result in failure of the grounding device itself, secondary circuits’ cables and structural el...

The steam turboset is the key equipment of the electric power system. Thus, it is very important and necessary to monitor and diagnose the running condition and the faults of the steam turboset for the safe and normal running of the electric power system. In this paper, the Internet/Intranet based remote condition monitoring and fault diagnosis scheme is proposed. The corresponding technique an...

Water jet and Abrasive Water Jet (WJ/AWJ) are manufacturing technologies suitable for particular operations (cutting, milling, turning, surface treatment, etc.) on different types of materials. The use of water (or water mixed to abrasive in AWJ technology) allows working both soft and hard materials without damaging the interested area of the workpiece. In previous studies the authors have jus...
