Abstract
The use of combined cycle power plants though had led the pathway to maximize the fuel en-ergy utilization but the part-load operation of these plants is of concern. In this work, an exer-goeconomic comparison of 11 different reheat combined cycle arrangements hasbeen carried out under their part-load operations for varying bottoming cycle parametersnamely steam-bleedfraction, deaerator pressure,separator temperature, absorber pressure, and condenser pressure.The results depict that the absorber has the highest exergy destruction with second law efficiency of 23.55% at thepart load of 25% for the combined cycle power plant having high pressure drum with steam as working fluid and low pressure drum with ammonia-wa-ter as working fluid. The comparison also shows the highest cost of electricity production as 0.1243USD/kWh for the combined cycle power plant having ammonia-water as working fluid in bottoming cycle and operating at part load of 25%. While the minimum price of electricity produced is 0.05USD/kWh at 25% part load for CCPP having double pressure HRVG’s at condenser pressure of 0.09 bar.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Thermal Enginering is aimed at giving a recognized platform to students, researchers, research scholars, teachers, authors and other professionals in the field of research in Thermal Engineering subjects, to publish their original and current research work to a wide, international audience. In order to achieve this goal, we will have applied for SCI-Expanded Index in 2021 after having an Impact Factor in 2020. The aim of the journal, published on behalf of Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul-Turkey, is to not only include actual, original and applied studies prepared on the sciences of heat transfer and thermodynamics, and contribute to the literature of engineering sciences on the national and international areas but also help the development of Mechanical Engineering. Engineers and academicians from disciplines of Power Plant Engineering, Energy Engineering, Building Services Engineering, HVAC Engineering, Solar Engineering, Wind Engineering, Nanoengineering, surface engineering, thin film technologies, and Computer Aided Engineering will be expected to benefit from this journal’s outputs.
