  1. 16. Power Plant Operation Optimization Economic dispatch of combined cycle power plants

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Stefano Rosso; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As electricity production from renewable sources increases, higher flexibility is required by fossil fuel generation to cope with the inherent fluctuations of solar and wind power. This results in shorter operating cycles and steeper ramps for the turbines, and more uncertainty for the operators. READ MORE

  2. 17. Economic Dispatch of the Combined Cycle Power Plant Using Machine Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Dhruv Bhatt; [2019]
    Keywords : Combine Cycle Power Plant; Equivalent Operating Hours; Equivalent Operating Cycles; Gas Turbine; Turbine Inlet Temperature; Turbine Exhaust Temperature; Kombicykelkraftverk; Ekvivalenta drifttimmar; Ekvivalenta driftcykler; Gasturbiner; Turbine Inlet Temperature; Turbine Exhaust Temperature;

    Abstract : Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP)s play a key role in modern powersystem due to their lesser investment cost, lower project executiontime, and higher operational flexibility compared to other conventionalgenerating assets. The nature of generation system is changing withever increasing penetration of the renewable energy resources. READ MORE

  3. 18. Thermodynamic and Economic Evaluation of Hybridization Biomass-solar for a Cogeneration Power Plant in a Cuban Sugar Mill, George Washington

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Silja Lehtinen; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study evaluates the thermodynamic and economic performance of hybridization of biomass-solar for a cogeneration power plant in a Cuban sugar mill, George Washington. The evaluation is performed by varying the parameters of the thermal power block and considering scenarios with 1) bagasse and marabú, 2) bagasse and solar field, and 3) bagasse, marabú and solar field as heat sources for the cogeneration cycle.

  4. 19. Development and validation of a combined heat and power plant model for integration in DYESOPT

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : José Angel García; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The liberalization of electricity markets and a growing penetration of renewables has led many countries to feel changes in the operation of their grids. The boundary conditions for the operation of conventional power plants are changing and, as such, an improved understanding of the varying loads and prices on the electricity grid is required to assess the performance of emerging combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) concepts and to further optimize their design for these new markets in the pursuit of increasing their profitability, especially when considering co-generation of heat and power.

  5. 20. Modular design and feasibility analysis of a Rankine Compression GasTurbine system for industrial cogeneration

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Daniel Carrion da Fonseca; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A substantial share of the world’s energy is consumed in the form of heat in many distinct industries, which usually generates it through a boiler and consumes the heat by using steam as an energy carrier. In such factories, a cogeneration installation is economically and environmentally beneficial. READ MORE
