This book presents a thermodynamic and economic analysis of gas-gas
systems in power plants, including combined heat and power systems,
combined cooling, heat and power systems, hydrogen production
facilities and compressed energy storage system. A configuration
for high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor is also used as a
heat source for the cycle. The book compares different
technologies, such as gas-steam and gas-gas systems, using
optimized cases. It presents mathematical models that return
optimal thermodynamic parameters of the cycles, and applies a novel
continuous-time model in order to perform an economic analysis as
well. This book utilizes numerous illustrations and worked examples
to thoroughly explain the technologies discussed, making it
relevant for researchers, market analysts, decision makers, power
engineers and students alike.

This book provides a methodology for developing an optimum
investment strategy in the heating and combined heat and power
(CHP) industry. It demonstrates how to apply mathematical models to
the analysis of heat and electricity source operation from
technical and economic perspectives. It also allows readers to
ascertain the economic effectiveness of modernizing an existing CHP
plant. The mathematical models presented are designed to recognize
identity profits in continuous time so that they can be better
predicted. The authors examine the operational costs of a CHP plant
and the impact of factors, such as environmental costs, associated
with investment in the heating and CHP sector to enable readers to
select the most appropriate technologies. It presents a
state-of-the-art technical and economic analysis to enhance
readers' understanding of investment in and optimization of heating
and CHP, and provides practical guidance for investors'
decision-making. The book is a valuable source of information,
making it ideal for financial analysts and power engineers. Thanks
to its in-depth analysis of mathematical methods, it is also
suitable for students and researchers with an interest in
investment strategy.
This book presents an innovative methodology for identifying
optimum investment strategies in the power industry. To do so, it
examines results including, among others, the impact of oxy-fuel
technology on CO2 emissions prices, and the specific cost of
electricity production. The technical and economic analysis
presented here extend the available knowledge in the field of
investment optimization in energy engineering, while also enabling
investors to make decisions involving its application. Individual
chapters explore the potential impacts of different factors like
environmental charges on costs connected with investments in the
power sector, as well as discussing the available technologies for
heat and power generation. The book offers a valuable resource for
researchers, market analysts, decision makers, power engineers and
students alike.
The opportunity of repowering the existing condensing power
stations by means of gas turbogenerators offers an important
opportunity to considerably improvement of their energy efficiency.
The Modernization Potential of Gas turbines in the Coal-Fired Power
Industry presents the methodology, calculation procedures and tools
used to support enterprise planning for adapting power stations to
dual-fuel gas-steam combined-cycle technologies. Both the
conceptual and practical aspects of the conversion of existing
coal-fired power plants is covered. Discussions of the feasibility,
advantages and disadvantages and possible methods are supported by
chapters presenting equations of energy efficiency for the
conditions of repowering a power unit by installing a gas
turbogenerator in a parallel system and the results of technical
calculations involving the selection heating structures of heat
recovery steam generators. A methodology for analyzing
thermodynamic and economic effectiveness for the selection of a
structure of the heat recovery steam generator for the repowered
power unit is also explained. The Modernization Potential of Gas
turbines in the Coal-Fired Power Industry is an informative
monograph written for researchers, postgraduate students and policy
makers in power engineering.
Conversion of Coal-Fired Power Plant to Cogeneration and
Combined-Cycle presents the methodology, calculation procedures and
tools used to support enterprise planning for adapting power
stations to cogeneration and combined-cycle forms. The authors
analyze the optimum selection of the structure of heat exchangers
in a 370 MW power block, the structure of heat recovery steam
generators and gas turbines. Conversion of Coal-Fired Power Plant
to Cogeneration and Combined-Cycle also addresses the problems of
converting existing power plants to dual-fuel gas-steam
combined-cycle technologies coupled with parallel systems.
Conversion of Coal-Fired Power Plant to Cogeneration and
Combined-Cycle is an informative monograph written for researchers,
postgraduate students and policy makers in power engineering.
