Market requirements for faster and more frequent power unit start-up events result in a much faster deterioration of equipment, and a shorter equipment lifespan. Significant heat exchange occurs between steam and turbine rotors during the start-up process and even more intensive heat exchange takes place during the condensation phase in cold start-up mode, which leads to further thermal stresses ...
This paper presents exergoeconomic analysis of a Kalina cycle coupled coal–fired steam power plant using specific exergy costing (SPECO) methodology. Cost–balance and auxiliary equations are developed and solved. The results indicate that in the topping cycle, the boiler and the turbine contribute maximum to the formation of product cost. High value of exergoeconomic factor for the boiler ...
The purpose of the present work is to apply thermo-economic concepts to a Steam Injected Gas Turbine (STIG) electricity generation system and optimise it to indicate its economical advantages over a simple gas turbine. The system incorporates a combustion chamber, gas turbine, a compressor and a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). A detailed sensitivity analysis was also performed to examine ...
