  • Exergy based parametric analysis of a combined reheat regenerative thermal power plant and water–LiBr vapor absorption refrigeration system
    Energy Conversion and Management, 2014
    Co-Authors: T.k. Gogoi, K. Talukdar
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper, exergy analysis of a combined reheat regenerative steam turbine (ST) based power cycle and water–LiBr vapor absorption refrigeration system (VARS) is presented. Exergetic efficiency of the power cycle and VARS, energy utilization factor (EUF) of the combined system (CS) and irreversibility in each system component are calculated. The effect of fuel flow rate, Boiler Pressure, cooling capacity and VARS components’ temperature on performance, component and total system irreversibility is analyzed. The second law based results indicate optimum performance at 150 bar Boiler Pressure and VARS generator, condenser, evaporator and absorber temperature of 80 °C, 37.5 °C, 15 °C and 35 °C respectively. The present exergy based results conform well to the first law based results obtained in a previous analysis done on the same combined system. Irreversibility distribution among various power cycle components shows the highest irreversibility in the cooling tower. Irreversibility of the exhaust flue gas leaving the Boiler and the Boiler are the next major contributors. Among the VARS components, exergy destruction in the generator is the highest followed by irreversibility contribution of the absorber, condenser and the evaporator.

  • Thermodynamic analysis of a combined reheat regenerative thermal power plant and water–LiBr vapor absorption refrigeration system
    Energy Conversion and Management, 2014
    Co-Authors: T.k. Gogoi, K. Talukdar
    Abstract:

    Detail thermodynamic analysis of a combined reheat regenerative steam turbine (ST) based power cycle and water–LiBr vapor absorption refrigeration system (VARS) is presented in this study. The power cycle uses one open and one closed water heater (CWH) for purpose of feed water heating. A parametric analysis is performed to investigate the effects of Boiler Pressure, fuel flow rate, VARS evaporator cooling load and operating temperatures on performance of the topping power cycle and bottoming VARS. Further a performance comparison of the combined power and cooling plant is made with the power plant (without VARS) to quantify the performance variation due to VARS integration. Comparative performance analysis is also provided for the power plant (without VARS) with and without the CWH in the plant. The analysis indicates that the fuel flow rate and Boiler Pressure affects only the power cycle performance while the evaporator cooling load and VARS components’ operating temperature has its combined effect both on the power and the cooling system, the evaporator cooling load is the most crucial among them. A sensitive analysis shows that the power and efficiency of the topping cycle change very little with VARS operating temperatures. VARS coefficient of performance is more sensitive to the change in condenser and absorber temperature compared to change in generator and evaporator temperature.

  • Energy and exergy based performance analyses of a solid oxide fuel cell integrated combined cycle power plant
    Energy Conversion and Management, 2014
    Co-Authors: T.k. Gogoi, Pranjal Sarmah, D. Deb Nath
    Abstract:

    Abstract This article provides the energy and exergy based performance analysis of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) – gas turbine (GT) – steam turbine (ST) combined cycle power plant. The system utilizes the GT exhaust heat for fuel and air preheating subsequently in a fuel recuperator (FR) and an air recuperator (AR) before finally producing steam in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) coupled with the ST cycle. It considers 30% external reforming in a pre-reformer (PR) by steam extracted from the bottoming ST plant. The study considers the effect of additional fuel burning in the combustion chamber (CC) as a means for increasing the net GT and ST power output. A detailed parametric analysis based on variation of compressor Pressure ratio (CPR), fuel flow rate (FFR), air flow rate (AFR), current density, single level Boiler Pressure and ST inlet temperature (STIT) is also provided. Results indicate improved system performance at higher CPR. The optimum single level Boiler Pressure is found to be 40 bar with 50% additional fuel burning. Burning of additional fuel improves the GT and ST power output, however with reduction in the plant’s overall efficiency. Further comparison of performance with a similar other system where the AR is placed head of the FR indicates slightly better performance of the proposed system with FR ahead of AR (FRAOAR).

  • Nonlinear Decoupling Control With Deadtime Compensation for Multirange Operation of Steam Power Plants
    IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Nahla Alamoodi, Prodromos Daoutidis
    Abstract:

    This brief focuses on the control of steam power plants using a nonlinear model-based controller with deadtime compensation that is efficient for narrow and wide power demand ranges. The variables to be controlled are the Boiler Pressure and the power generation. The challenge in controlling this system lies in the ability to overcome the strong nonlinear interactions that a power plant exhibits as well as the deadtime associated with fuel flow adjustment. The derived controller was tested for set point tracking as well as disturbance rejection cases, showing excellent performance and robustness.

  • soft computing based multi objective optimization of steam cycle power plant using nsga ii and ann
    Applied Soft Computing, 2012
    Co-Authors: Farzaneh Hajabdollahi, Zahra Hajabdollahi, Hassan Hajabdollahi
    Abstract:

    In this paper a steam turbine power plant is thermo-economically modeled and optimized. For this purpose, the data for actual running power plant are used for modeling, verifying the results and optimization. Turbine inlet temperature, Boiler Pressure, turbines extraction Pressures, turbines and pumps isentropic efficiency, reheat Pressure as well as condenser Pressure are selected as fifteen design variables. Then, the fast and elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) is applied to maximize the thermal efficiency and minimize the total cost rate (sum of investment cost, fuel cost, and maintenance cost) simultaneously. The results of the optimal design are a set of multiple optimum solutions, called 'Pareto optimal solutions'. The optimization results in some points show 3.76% increase in efficiency and 3.84% decrease in total cost rate simultaneously, when it compared with the actual data of the running power plant. Finally as a short cut to choose the system optimal design parameters a correlation between two objectives and fifteen decision variables with acceptable precision are presented using Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

  • design and thermodynamic analysis of a steam ejector refrigeration heat pump system for naval surface ship applications
    Entropy, 2015
    Co-Authors: Cuneyt Ezgi, Ibrahim Girgin
    Abstract:

    Naval surface ships should use thermally driven heating and cooling technologies to continue the Navy’s leadership role in protecting the marine environment. Steam ejector refrigeration (SER) or steam ejector heat pump (SEHP) systems are thermally driven heating and cooling technologies and seem to be a promising technology to reduce emissions for heating and cooling on board naval surface ships. In this study, design and thermodynamic analysis of a seawater cooled SER and SEHP as an HVAC system for a naval surface ship application are presented and compared with those of a current typical naval ship system case, an H2O-LiBr absorption heat pump and a vapour-compression heat pump. The off-design study estimated the coefficient of performances (COPs) were 0.29–0.11 for the cooling mode and 1.29–1.11 for the heating mode, depending on the Pressure of the exhaust gas Boiler at off-design conditions. In the system operating at the exhaust gas Boiler Pressure of 0.2 MPa, the optimum area ratio obtained was 23.30.
