The Future of Nuclear Power Plants
With the blast of the French nuclear power plant a few weeks ago, safety of nuclear power plant designs has fallen under more scrutiny. Although according to sources the blast took place in the turbine hall and no nuclear leak was found, this event has brought more attention to improved design and operation standards. Following the incident earlier this month Toshiba, a Japanese multinational ...

Floating nuclear power plants
Nuclear energy, in comparison with other modes of energy generation such as hydro, thermal and non-conventional sources, has high energy density with little environmental pollution or greenhouse gas emissions. The methodologies to check the problems of nuclear radiation hazards and waste associated with this technology are continuously being developed towards perfection. The nuclear plants are ...

Solar Thermal Power Plants
THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANTS Solar thermal energy production requires two main things: sunlight and equipment to capture, store and disperse the energy. Only two types of solar thermal systems exist. They are the passive systems, which do not require equipment (such as the heat build-up in your car whenever you park it in the sun), and active systems which require a method to ...

Salaya power plant : 1,200 MW thermal power plant in Gujarat - Case Study
The Salaya project is a 1200 MW (2X600 MW) imported coal-based thermal power plant located in Jamnagar district in Gujarat. It has a 25-year PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with GUVNL (Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ld), which means that the plant is responsible for supplying about 10% of the state’s power requirement. The project continues to ensure over 80% availability to its anchor customer, ...

Hazira Power Plant : India’s first Independent Power Plant in Gujarat - Case Study
In October 1997, Essar commissioned India’s first Independent Power Plant (IPP) after the Government of India had liberalised its power policy. Originally conceived to cater only to Essar Steel’s requirements, the plant was later converted to an independent producer with a capacity of 515 MW. Using cutting-edge technology, it was no ordinary power plant. The Hazira IPP was a ...

Sabotage vulnerability of nuclear power plants
There have been many recent studies of nuclear security focusing on terrorist assault, but this paper discusses methods equal in catastrophic potential: sabotage by individuals with a detailed knowledge of security procedures, plant layout and the functional nature of the critical components of a nuclear power plant. The paper looks only at sabotage without explosives or using very small amounts ...

Captive power plant efficiency for Africa
Power distribution networks across Africa are notoriously unreliable. Frequent power interruptions can be enormously costly for many of the continent’s factories. Not only do power outages disrupt production batches, they can also damage or reduce the life of important plant components such as kilns. This too has a knock-on effect on wider the country’s gross domestic product – ...

Economics of tiny thermal power plants
Thermal power plants is the main source of energy and electricity in India and almost all countries of the world. Most of the giant thermal power plants have capacity of 500MW to 1000 MW. Investment in such giant thermal power plants is Rs 100 million per MW including transmission lines and distribution lines. ( 60 rupees = 1 US$, MW=1000KW). So 1000MW thermal power plant costs Rs 100 million/MW ...

Solar power plants mw or kw?
Solar power has come as a blessing to the humanity, not only to provide energy to all but to save humanity from the evils of industrial revolution. The biggest evil of industrial revolution in last two centuries is the concentration and centralization of wealth and resources and also huge political powers in the handful of people. So huge factories, mass production, big industrial and financial ...

Adaptive Reuse of Obsolete Power Plants
ABSTRACT A new world has dawned in the Electric Utility Industry because of the combined effects of deregulation, fuel costs and unit efficiencies, and changes in regulatory requirements applicable to "Grand- fathered" fossil power plants. Many electric utility companies are finding that older facilities are no longer viable as electrical generating stations in the new competitive ...

Exergoeconomic evaluation of a geothermal power plant
In this study, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of the Dora II geothermal power plant (DGPP) with 9.5 MW net power output are carried out by using real thermodynamic and cost data. The exergetic efficiency of this plant is calculated to be 29.6%. The highest exergy destruction rate among the DGPP components occurs in the cooling towers followed by the turbines, vaporisers, preheaters and pumps. ...

Exergoeconomic optimisation of steam power plant
The second law of thermodynamics combined with economics forms a powerful tool for systematic analysis and assessment of energy systems. This paper presents an exergoeconomic optimisation of 50 MW steam turbine power plant associated with a large fertiliser industrial unit through Thermoeconomic Evaluation and Optimisation (TEO) method, and identifies the losses in various components. As the ...
