  4. 13. Thermo-economic Analysis of Retrofitting an Existing Coal-Fired Power Plant with Solar Heat

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

    Author : Surafel Shimeles; [2014]
    Keywords : Hybrid; coal power plant; solar thermal system; Thermo-economic analysis;

    Abstract : At a time when global environmental change is posing a growing challenge to the world’s economy and creating uncertainties to livelihood of its inhabitants, Coal thermal power plants are under pressure to meet stringent environmental regulations into achieving worldwide set millennial goals for mitigating the effect of emission gases on the atmosphere. Owing to its abundance, it is unlikely to see the use of coal completely missing from the global energy mix within the next hundred years to come. READ MORE

  5. 14. Thermodynamic study of oxygen-enhanced combustion: analysis of different techniques of oxidant production

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Gaëlle Gosselin; [2013]
    Keywords : Membrane; PSA; Oxygen-enhanced combustion;

    Abstract : Thermal energy is an important resource for many industrial processes and is usually produced by combustion of hydrocarbon fuels with air. These processes could beneficiate from the use of oxygen-enhanced combustion (OEC), whose benefits (pollutants emissions reduction, fuel savings, productivity increase and volumes reduction) are already known.

  6. 15. Oskarshamn 3 - Optimization after Power Uprate - A heat balance deviation analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Robert Kronblad; [2013]
    Keywords : Heat balances; Power output; Deviations; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Oskarshamn 3 has undergone a power uprate from 110% to 129.1% of original reactor thermal output in recent ended project PULS (Power Uprate with Licensed Safety). The main objective of this thesis have been to identify deviations in the power plant, explaining the differences in power output between designed and achieved power output after PULS. READ MORE
