Energy Audit,thermal power, combined cycle, and cogeneration plants
The availability of fossil fuels required for power plants is reducing and their costs increasing rapidly. This gives rise to increase in the cost of generation of electricity. But electricity regulators have to control the price of electricity so that consumers are not stressed with high costs. In addition, environmental considerations are forcing power plants to reduce CO2 emissions. Under these circumstances, power plants are constantly under pressure to improve the efficiency of operating plants, and to reduce fuel consumption. In order to progress in this direction, it is important that power plants regularly audit their energy use in terms of the operating plant heat rate and auxiliary power consumption. Energy Audit of Thermal Power, Combined Cycle, and Cogeneration Plants attempts to refresh the fundamentals of the science and engineering of thermal power plants, and establishes its link with the real power plant performance data through case studies, and further developing techno-economics of the energy efficiency improvement measures. This book will rekindle interest in energy audits and analysis of the data for designing and implementation of energy conservation measures on a continuous basis.

Combined Cycle Driven Efficiency for Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants,An Innovative Design Approach
Introduces the concept of combined cycles for next generation nuclear power plants, explaining how recent advances in gas turbines have made these systems increasingly desirable for efficiency gains and cost-of-ownership reduction. Promulgates modelling and analysis techniques to identify opportunities for increased thermodynamic efficiency and decreased water usage over current Light Water Reactor (LWR) systems. Examines all power conversion aspects, from the fluid exiting the reactor to energy releases into the environment, with special focus on heat exchangers and turbo-machinery. Provides examples of small projects to facilitate nuanced understanding of the theories and implementation of combined-cycle nuclear plants. This book explores combined cycle driven efficiency of new nuclear power plants and describes how to model and analyze a nuclear heated multi-turbine power conversion system operating with atmospheric air as the working fluid. The included studies are intended to identify paths for future work on next generation nuclear power plants (GEN-IV), leveraging advances in natural-gas-fired turbines that enable coupling salt-cooled, helium-cooled, and sodium-cooled reactors to a Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycle (NACC). These reactors provide the option of operating base-load nuclear plants with variable electricity output to the grid using natural gas or stored heat to produce peak power. The author describes overall system architecture, components and detailed modelling results of Brayton-Rankine Combined Cycle power conversion systems and Recuperated Brayton Cycle systems, since they offer the highest overall energy conversion efficiencies. With ever-higher temperatures predicted in GEN-IV plants, this book’s investigation of potential avenues for thermodynamic efficiency gains will be of great interest to nuclear engineers and researchers, as well as power plant operators and students.

Parametric Analysis of Advanced Combined Cycle Power Generation Systems,
The global increase in energy demand has to be met in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. Combined cycle power generation is currently the most promising technology to generate power at higher plant efficiencies. In the present work, a parametric thermodynamic analysis of advanced combined cycle energy systems is undertaken. The first part deals with a natural gas fired combined cycle power generation unit. The effect of operating parameters, including pressure ratio and gas turbine inlet temperature, on the overall plant performance and exergy destruction/losses is investigated. In the second part, a pressurized fluidized bed, partial gasification and combustion based combined cycle (PGCC) power generation unit, utilizing coal as a fuel, is investigated. The effect of pressure ratio, gas turbine inlet temperature, gasification, and the bottoming steam cycle configuration, on the plant performance and on exergy destruction/losses, for the unit is investigated. In both cases, optimum work output corresponds to minimum combined cycle total exergy destruction.
