Fast solution technique for unit commitment by particle swarm optimisation and genetic algorithm
In solving the Unit Commitment (UC) problem, two types of decision variables need to be determined: the start/shut down status and the output of power generation. Efficiently calculating the optimal commitment (on/off) and Economic Dispatch (ED) generations of the units at a sequence of times in the scheduling period is known as a challenge issue. In this paper, the proposed integrated PSO/GA ...

Efficiency of a standard gas-turbine power generation cycle running on different fuels
This paper presents a study of second-law efficiency in a standard Brayton combined cycle power generation, using several paraffinic fuels ranging from methane to heptane. The main objective of the study was to identify a trend with the number of carbon atoms in the compound. In this way, a qualitative criterion can be built to evaluate the properties of poor-quality gas turbine fuels containing ...

Optimisation of micro gas turbine by exergy, economic and environmental (3E) analysis
This research proposes a new method for optimisation of a power generation system based on exergy fuel cost and external social cost of air pollution. A thermodynamic model is provided to estimate the outlet mass flow rates of CO2, CO, NO and NO2 for a gas turbine based on maximising the first and second law efficiencies and minimising the objective function. Results show that inclusion of the ...

Exergy analysis of a combined fuel cell and Gas Turbine Power Plant with intercooling and reheating
This paper presents a comparative exergy study of the performance of various gas turbine power generation plants and a high temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). The overall system is analysed and its exergy efficiency and exergy destruction are obtained, as well as individual models of each component. The results for selected operating conditions are compared against past literature data. ...

Co-production of synthesis gas and power by integration of Partial Oxidation reactor, gas turbine and air separation unit
A new synthesis gas production process based on partial oxidation (POX) of natural gas is investigated. Synthesis gas and mechanical power are generated in a plant that integrates a POX reactor, a synthesis gas turbine and an air separation unit. The synthesis gas is expanded in the turbine which runs the air separation unit. By means of an exergy analysis, it is shown that the synthesis gas ...

Exergetic and exergo–economic analysis of a turboprop engine: a case study for CT7–9C
The turboprop engine has played an important role in short haul commuter and military transport aircraft where high speed is not critical. It may provide the aviation sector with one of the most significant means of achieving reduced operating costs through reductions in fuel consumption. This paper deals with exergo–economic analysis of a modern turboprop engine (CT7–9C) with a free power ...

Power generated from methane gas in disused mines in England
Type HOFGAS®-IPM/C 2500 Performance 2’500 Nm³/h / 520mbar dP Location England (GB) Situation Mine gas is released when coal is extracted. This gas is sourced not only from working coal mines but also from those that were closed down long ago. Because large quantities of coal remain in the mine after it has ceased production, mine gas is released afterwards. The high proportion of ...

Did You Know? May 2021
Warren Buffett is proposing a natural gas solution to Texas’s troubled electrical grid? Remember back in February when Texas experienced the largest forced blackout in U.S history according to Time Magazine? Well, investment guru Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is proposing an $8.3 billion dollar fix with natural gas power generation. 10 gigawatts of gas plants with emergency gas ...

Present status and future prospect of clean coal technology in China
Coal consumption accounts for about two thirds of the primary energy consumption in China. High economic growth has brought about a rapid increase of coal consumption. Low-efficiency combustion of a large amount of coal caused coal-smoke related air pollution. The Chinese government put forward plans to develop clean coal technology in the early 1990s, and has listed it as one of the emphases for ...
