Power plant on the basis of internal combustion engine with gas dropping in the technological furnace of oil refining plant

Abstract

The main results of the evaluation of the technical and economic indicators of power plants based on internal combustion engines (ICE) that are integrated into the refinery process cycle are considered. The statistical processing of commercial offers has been carried out, which allow to evaluate capital investments in the main power equipment. The results of the calculation for the operating conditions of the power plant on its own gas of refining showed a good investment attractiveness of the project. The calculations found that the influencing factors can be ranked in descending order of importance: the cost of electricity, the rate of discount, capital investments in the object, the fee for the power supported for the reserve from the power system. Since the generator voltage of the internal combustion engine is 0.4 kV, the economic efficiency of the proposed power plant will be higher than the considered base case and it is advisable to produce electricity supply in the factory network on the low voltage side.
