“…The outlet temperature of the heat recovery steam generator is taken as 400 K to avoid corrosive sulfuric acid formation in the exhaust. The air compressor flow rate is 1 m  = 91,4 kg/s, the HRSG mass flow rate is s m  = 14 kg/s saturated steam at 2000 kPa, the power of gas turbine is 30 MW, and the flow rate of fuel (methane) is f m  = 1,64 kg/s [3,6]. The working fluid is assumed to be ideal gas (methane).…”

Original scientific paper In this study eight methods are evaluated for a gas turbine cogeneration cycle to improve the efficiency. These methods are increasing gas turbine inlet air temperature, cooling the inlet air of the compressor, air preheating, fuel preheating, increasing compressor inlet air pressure, increasing air excess rates, steam injection, and humidification of the inlet air of the compressor. These methods are studied in order to compare their effects on the performance of the systems. The effects of these methods on the exergetic efficiency depend on the kind of the cogeneration cycle. By combining recuperation, preheating fuel and steam injection methods high efficiency can be achieved. The combined methods give the best results under variable heat demands of the market. An appropriate combination of the efficiency improvement methods may increase the exergetic efficiency about 20 %. The results show that efficiency improvement methods must be applied together whenever it is possible.

Tim se metodama povećava temperatura ulaznog zraka plinske turbine, rashlađuje ulazni zrak kompresora, predgrijava zrak, predgrijava gorivo, povećava tlak ulaznog zraka kompresora, povećava brzina viška zraka, ubrizgava para i vlaži ulazni zrak kompresora. Te se metode istražuju kako bi se usporedilo njihovo djelovanje na performanse sustava. Učinci tih metoda na egzergetsku učinkovitost ovise o vrsti kogeneracijskog ciklusa. Kombiniranjem metoda rekuperacije, predgrijavanja goriva i ubrizgavanja pare može se postići visoka učinkovitost. Kombinirane metode daju najbolje rezultate kod različitih potreba tržišta za toplinom. Odgovarajućom kombinacijom metoda za poboljšanje učinkovitosti može se povećati egzergetska učinkovitost za oko 20 %. Rezultati pokazuju da se metode za poboljšanje učinkovitosti moraju primijeniti zajedno kada je god to moguće.

Surging in energy demand makes it necessary to improve performance of plant equipment and optimize operation of thermal power plants. Inasmuch as thermal power plants depend on fossil fuels, their optimization can be challenging due to the environmental issues which must be considered. Nowadays, the vast majority of power plants are designed based on energetic performance obtained from first law of thermodynamic. In some cases, energy balance of a system is not appropriate tool to diagnose malfunctions of the system. Exergy analysis is a powerful method for determining the losses existing in a system. Since exergy analysis can evaluate quality of the energy, it enables designers to make intricate thermodynamic systems operates more efficiently. These days, power plant optimization based on economic criteria is a critical problem because of their complex structure. In this study, a comprehensive analysis including energy, exergy, economic (3‐E) analyses, and their applications related to various thermal power plants are reviewed and scrutinized.
