Coal-based electric power generation remains the basic source of obtaining energy. With increasing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, improving power unit efficiency has become an issue of utmost significance. The development of technologies related to coal-fired power units does not focus solely on the steam parameters ahead of the turbine. Increasing the live steam parameters usually constitutes the greatest contribution to the rise in the efficiency of a power unit, but the sum of efficiency gains related to the application of other solutions can also be significant and can, in some cases, exceed the effects related to raising the temperature and steam pressure values. A paper presents thermodynamic and economic analysis of various configurations of the ultra-supercritical coal-fired 900 MW power unit with the auxiliary steam turbine. Main subject of research was a power unit considered within the Strategic Research Programme – Advanced Technologies for Energy Generation with the parameters of live and reheat steam: 30 MPa/650°C/670°C. The base configuration of the power unit has single steam reheat and electric drive boiler feed pump. Analysis of ultra-supercritical 900 MW power unit involves configuration with a single and double reheat. The following configurations of the auxiliary steam turbine will be presented and compared: • extraction-backpressure steam turbine fed with steam from cold reheat line with bleed and steam outlet directed to the feed water heaters; • extraction-backpressure steam turbine fed with steam from cold reheat line with bleed and steam outlet directed to the feed water heaters; the auxiliary turbine drives the boiler feed pump; • backpressure turbine fed with steam from a hot reheat steam line operating in parallel with the intermediate-pressure turbine; the auxiliary turbine drives the boiler feed pump. The analysis of the operation of the 900 MW unit was carried out for three load levels: for the nominal mass flow of live steam, and for the partial mass flow of 75% and 50%. For all presented solutions thermodynamic and economic analysis was performed, which has taken into account the charge for CO2 emissions.

Abstract Carbon sequestration in forests has increasingly captured the attention of scientists as a strategy for climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability. In this era of huge carbon emission, being a low-carbon and cost-effective technology, the economic analysis of forest carbon sequestration holds higher importance for the successful implementation and intended outcomes. This study elucidates a scientometric view of the research structure and thematic evolution of economic studies on forest carbon sequestration based on 1,439 articles over the time slice 2001-2021. The bibliographic data has been retrieved from the Dimensions database which accommodates a large coverage of research publications and also provides easy access to essential scholarly data and information. Vosviewer and Biblioshiny software tools have opted for visualization and evaluation purposes of bibliometric data. This study employs various measures of bibliometric analysis like co-authorship, bibliographic coupling, citation and keyword analysis to find out the principal articles, authors, journals, most frequent keywords and highest publishing countries and institutions in this field and the results show that the number of publications has escalated substantially in the last five years, Popp A, 2017 (305 citations) and André P C Faaij (11 documents) are the most cited article and the most productive author, respectively, Bradford’s law calculates 21 core journals out of total 503 journals among which Forest Policy and Economics is on the top, and the most productive country and institution are the USA and University of Florida, respectively. The study also investigates key publishing subject categories and the number of publications covered under each Sustainable Development Goals. The overall outcome of this bibliometric study confers an in-depth understanding of the various dimensions of economic analysis on forest carbon sequestration, its development pattern in the last 20 years and also provides emerging themes for future references.
