Thermodynamic simulation and efficiency analysis of the combined heat and power plant

Abstract

Paper presented at the 7th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Turkey, 19-21 July, 2010.This investigation presents a thermodynamic modeling and efficiency analysis to optimization study of a combined cycle power plant and a combined heat and power system to survey all the parameter that affect efficiency and performance of the plant, the selected variables for optimization study are the ambient parameter and the mass flow and temperature of exhaust of gas turbine and the steam living the boiler and the gas flue temperature at exit of HRSG's stack and the type of cooling and condenser heat rejection and fuel consumption in duct burner and combustion chamber of gas turbine and power output and efficiency of steam turbine and gas turbine and plant to improving the efficiency, net output, heat rate of the plant.
