A novel cogeneration cycle based on a recompression supercritical carbon dioxide cycle for waste heat recovery in nuclear power plants
In this study, a novel cogeneration cycle based on the recompression S–CO2 Brayton cycle is proposed, analysed and optimised thermodynamically to utilise the waste heat from a nuclear power plant. The cycle was constructed theoretically on the basis of a transcritical CO2 power cycle and a LiBr/H2O Absorption Heat Transformer (AHT) to enhance the overall performance of the cycle. It was found ...

Enhancing the dynamic performance of electricity production in steam power plants by the integration of transient waste heat sources into the feed-water pre-heating system
Since the deregulation of the energy market the enhancement of steam power plant's dynamic performance has become more and more important. Nowadays, peak load is a profitable product at the energy stock markets if it can be provided reliably. This is in contrast to many power plants running constantly at full load. A very promising technique to improve the peak load capability of such power ...

Development of a lignite-fired power plant concept with integrated pressurised fluidised-bed drying and fuel cells
In the coming decades, lignite will become one of the most important fuels for power production in Germany. In the last five years, Vattenfall Europe and RWE have put power plants of the 800–1000 MW class with efficiency of up to more than 43% into service. Four to five per cent efficiency can further be gained by using pre-dried lignite as fuel (BOA plus concept of RWE). Additional steps are ...

Is waste heat the silver bullet?
The energy industry tends to get stuck on certain words. Silver bullet is one of them. Insiders and policymakers often like to say there is no silver bullet to fix US energy woes. We need a portfolio of solutions – renewables, efficiency, smart grid, transmission expansion, coal sequestration, etc. That may be true, but Tom Casten begs to differ. Casten is a bit of a rock star in the field of ...

Clean energy: How much hot air?
NewScientist’s January 28 issue is likely to unsettle clean energy advocates – but it is worth the read. The cover article, “Power paradox: Clean might not be green forever,” posits that even renewable energy can warm the planet, and eventually change climate, if we continue to ratchet up power production to serve our ever increasing demand for electricity. It turns out ...

The natural gas revolution: Good or bad for energy efficiency?
If there were an equivalent in the energy industry to Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, natural gas would be this year’s winner. The dramatic rise in natural gas supply, and fall in price, has reconfigured the energy scene in the United States, suddenly creating a bounty of domestic energy, driving down wholesale power prices and speeding retirement of polluting coal-fired plants. ...
