cal units, with supercritical and ultrasupercritical units operating at higher steam temperatures and pressures and yielding higher efficien-cies (Kitto and Stultz, 2005; American Electric Power [AEP], 2009). There are three primary designs for utilizing and combusting coal in EGUs. The current dominant design is a pulverized-coal (PC)
A combined-cycle power plant uses both a gas and a steam turbine together to produce up to 50% more electricity from the same fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant. The waste heat from the gas turbine is routed to the nearby steam turbine, which generates extra power. Tour a combined cycle power plant.
Under the background of increasing greenhouse effect and decreasing fossil energy, renewable energy power generation has been drawn increasing attention by almost all countries in the world, and especially the solar thermal power generation has received much attention in recent years. As a solar energy utilization pattern different from the …

The U.S. Department of Energy is supporting the design, certification, and commercialization of small modular reactors (SMRs). SMRs are about one-third the size of the reactors that are operating and under construction in the United States. SMRs have simple, compact designs that can be assembled in a factory and transported by train or …
As discussed earlier, a thermal power plant comes under non-renewable energy sources. The thermal power plant uses coal to heat up water, which generates steam. The steam generated is such of a high pressure and temperature, that it rotates the turbine blades. The blades once rotating, start to rotate the generator rotor windings; which ...
The availability factor depends on the operation of the power plant, the fuel type, and the design of the plant. In this study, the availability of the studied TPP varies from 82.3 to 97.7%.
Abstract. Three power plant models are presented, which are used as reference cases: a dynamic model of a combined cycle power plant (CCGT), a model of a once-through supercritical coal-fired power plant, and a model of a concentrated solar power plant (CSP). The component models of the ThermoSysPro library are used to …
