Here the energy complex is considered, representing a combination of gas turbine and wind power plants. The combination of plants that operate on different types of fuel (renewable and organic) reduces fuel consumption in a gas turbine installation. Four schemes are described and a comparative analysis of the fuel economy of each scheme is compared with the separate production of electric energy at a conventional thermal power station. For this, a mathematical model for calculating the energy characteristics was developed. The analysis revealed that the energy complex, including a gas turbine without regeneration, a current converter, and a peak boiler, has the greatest cost-effectiveness.
The article considers the way of reliable energy supply of small towns by the development of an autonomous energy complex. It consists of a source using organic fuel and a source based on renewable energy. An urgent issue of such a combination is to determine the optimal ratio of installed capacity. Here we have developed the methodology to solve it. The daily and annual quantitative parameters of the autonomous energy complex were calculated, including gas turbines, wind power plants, and peak boilers. Taking into account the reservation of electric power, the optimal value of the wind turbine relative power was determined and appeared to be in the range of 0.45–0.55.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
