Exergy and energy analysis of 850 MW natural gas combine cycle plant

Abstract

In the field of the combined cycle plant analysis, thermodynamic optimization of the heat recovery steam generator, the steam turbine and the condensate unit is to much more important to able to improve the efficiency of the section of the plant from gas turbine exhaust and to maximize the power generated in the vapor cycle. Power has become an essential requirement all over the world today. Many countries interests with alternative energy source and countries are trying in order to power generate form renewable energy source too also they makes an effort for more effective production of existing power plants. May be we cannot avoid the all energy loss exactly but each reformation will be provided many earn for the world and national economy. Aliveness for people is done studies in order to achieve them also aliveness is sensitive point for developed countries. So that in this study, natural gas which was used fossil based has been examined with in combine cycle plant. Exergy and energy analysis have been determined for each unit in the plant with stated value through the operating datas and the total exergy and losses have been defined in the plant.
