The use of wind turbines will make it possible to decrease the participation of boiler houses in the supply of heat to consumers, save fossil fuel, and, thereby, help decrease the prime cost of thermal energy. A procedure for calculating the levelized cost of thermal energy is developed and described in detail. The procedure is adapted to analyzing the efficiency of alternative options of using WTs jointly with boiler houses for heat-supply purposes, among which the alternative ensuring the minimal levelized cost of thermal energy is regarded as the most efficient one. By using the obtained technique, the economic efficiency of applying WTs jointly with boiler houses in the heat-supply systems of remote and isolated regions is evaluated taking the westernmost part of Russia’s Arctic zone as an example. It has been determined that, in such regions, in which the final annual average cost of fossil fuel is more than 1.5 times higher than the fuel cost in the cities and industrial centers of the AZ westernmost part as a consequence of a high transport component, the WTs are most efficient when used jointly with boiler houses operating on diesel fuel. For boiler houses operating on fuel oil and coal, the effect from using WTs is not so high. It is also shown that the cheaper the fuel, the less efficient or even inefficient at all the use of WTs becomes in comparison with the heat-supply option from a boiler house without connecting a WT. For the regions considered, the joint production of thermal energy by WTs and boiler houses operating on diesel fuel, fuel oil, and coal makes it possible to decrease its levelized cost by 7‒55, 5‒20, and 2‒7%, respectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":799,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Engineering","volume":"72 1","pages":"65 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a thermodynamic approach based on E³ (energy, exergy and environment) analysis for performance improvement of power plant during low main steam and high reheater (RH) temperature conditions through a suitable operation technique. Thermodynamic modeling of a 500 MW Subcritical (SubC) coal based thermal power plant is carried in “Cycle-Tempo” at different conditions. Partial withdrawl of final feed water heater (high pressure heater—HPH-6) from service without RH spray condition during low main steam (MS) temperature and high RH steam temperature condition will help to increase the MS temperature by about 0.85–1.00°C and thereby, the net plant energy and exergy efficiency will be improved by about 0.09 and 0.08% point, respectively. Partial withdrawl of HPH-6 with RH spray condition will deteriorate the plant energetic and exergetic plant performance and this will guide the operation engineer for which extend withdrawl of HPH-6 can be done for getting higher plant performance. The net energy efficiency of turbogenerator (TG) cycle decreases with partial withdrawl of HPH-6 due to decrease in the feed water temperature by about 7°C and more relative energy rejection of the cycle. The net exergy efficiency of TG cycle increases due to less relative exergy destruction rate causing from improvement in steam quality. However, the use of RH spray increases the irreversiblities in the plant and the spray does not expand in high pressure turbine (HPT) which in turn decrease the exergy efficiency. The boiler energy efficiency increases due to decrease in fluegas exit loss as the fluegas exit temperature drops from about 140 to 133°C due to partial withdrawl of HPH-6. The exergy efficiency of boiler also decreases due to increase in exergy destruction in final super heater (FSH), reheater and economizer. For a 500 MW SubC coal power plant, hourly about 930 kg of coal and about 1183 kg of CO₂ emission can be saved and reduced through this operation technique namely, partial withdrawl of HPH-6 without RH spray condition for controlling low MS temperature. Hence, the proposed analysis will help to take proper operational technique for mitigating coal crisis and safeguarding the environment as well.</p>","PeriodicalId":799,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Engineering","volume":"72 1","pages":"32 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The content of corrosion products in the feedwater of the steam generator is less than 1 μg/dm³. This significantly increases the period between flushing the steam generator to remove deposits. However, ethanolamine and ammonia are absorbed by the cation exchange resin in the ion-exchange filters of the secondary circuit purification systems, which leads to the need to regenerate the cation exchange resin and continuously dose reagents to maintain the required pH value in the feedwater. Waste solutions from regeneration containing ethanolamine and large amounts of ammonia must be treated to ensure that the concentrations of these substances do not exceed maximum permissible values when discharged into the environment. To remove ethanolamine and ammonia from regeneration solutions, special installations are created, the operation of which is based on various principles. A pilot plant for cleaning regeneration solutions was manufactured and installed at the Belarusian NPP with VVER-1200. An analysis of the pilot plant’s operation showed that it successfully fulfills its function of protecting the aquatic environment but, at the same time, it is forced to release a significant amount of ammonia into the surrounding air. Removing ammonia is energy-consuming, environmentally unsafe, and requires the additional use of chemical reagents. In this regard, the water-chemical regime of the secondary circuit without ammonia is very promising. Possible options could be either switching from ammonia to dimethylamine or using ethanolamine as the only corrective reagent with the replacement of some of the structural materials of the secondary circuit with steels with a high chromium content, which have higher corrosion resistance compared to those currently used. Both options will simplify the wastewater treatment technology and reduce the environmental impact while maintaining the low corrosion rates achieved by using the ammonia–ethanolamine water chemistry.</p>","PeriodicalId":799,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Engineering","volume":"72 1","pages":"78 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examples of operating ammonia-fired gas turbine units are given, and the main operating restrictions for the use of existing gas turbine units are specified. A thermodynamic analysis of a simple gas turbine unit with thermochemical heat recuperation (TCR) was performed in a wide range of operating conditions: the gas temperature at the turbine inlet varied from 700 to 1300°C and the compressor pressure ratio from 5 to 20. It has been established that the thermochemical heat recuperation can increase the GTU efficiency by as much as 9%. The effectiveness of TCR application has been demonstrated to depend on such operating parameters as pressure and temperature. At a temperature above 500°C, the enthalpy of the ammonia decomposition reaction reaches a value close to the maximum of approximately 3.0 MJ/kg NH₃. Thermochemical recuperation leads to the decomposition of ammonia with production of a hydrogen-rich gas (up to 75% (by volume)), which is burned in the combustion chamber, thereby changing the combustion process characteristics. The flame propagation velocity in a gas mixture consisting of hydrogen, nitrogen, and ammonia in different proportions was calculated on the basis of the GRI-Mech 3.0 list of elementary reactions in the Chemkin-Pro module. It has been found that the products of complete thermochemical decomposition of ammonia have a flame propagation velocity that is approximately two times higher than that for methane and more than ten times higher than that for ammonia. Thus, the implementation of the thermochemical heat recuperation in ammonia-fired gas turbine units is expected to increase the energy efficiency and improve the combustion process stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":799,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Engineering","volume":"72 1","pages":"1 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a simple theoretical model capable of accurately predicting the performance of an ejector, given its geometry and boundary conditions, under different operating conditions. The model can predict the entrainment ratio, critical back pressure, and break-up back pressure using a given simple performance curve. The accuracy of the model is validated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Two ejectors with different geometries, dimensions, and boundary conditions are studied using ANSYS Fluent 19.2, and the results are compared with those from two other studies. The model successfully predicts the performance of all four ejectors across a wide range of operating conditions. Finally, the model is extended to any working fluid and temperature and validated numerically using air as the working fluid instead of water vapor. The results show that the model has an entrainment ratio error of less than 2%.
