The Efficiency of Combined-Cycle CHP Plant With Variable Electric Loads, Taking Into Account the Wear and Tear of Equipment

Abstract

The economic efficiency of attracting CHPPs to cover the variable zone of daily electrical load schedules was investigated. The estimation of resource and economic performance of combined -cycle HPPs using the example of PGU-450T taking into account equipment wear under different operating conditions in the daily and weekly sections and different composition of the operating equipment has been performed and optimal load regimes have been determined.
