In recent years the combined cycle has become a very attractive power plant arrangement because of its high cycle efficiency, short order-to-on-line time and flexibility in the sizing when compared to conventional steam power plants. However, optimization of the cycle and selection of combined cycle equipment has become more complex because the three major components, Gas Turbine, Heat Recovery Steam Generator and Steam Turbine, are often designed and built by different manufacturers. Heat Recovery Steam Generators are classified into two major categories — 1) Natural Circulation and 2) Forced Circulation. Both circulation designs have certain advantages, disadvantages and limitations. This paper analyzes various factors including; availability, start-up, gas turbine exhaust conditions, reliability, space requirements, etc., which are affected by the type of circulation and which in turn affect the design, price and performance of the Heat Recovery Steam Generator. Modern trends around the world are discussed and conclusions are drawn as to the best type of circulation for a Heat Recovery Steam Generator for combined cycle application.

Unfired combined cycles achieve superior efficiencies at low emission levels. The potential and efficiency limits are investigated and the possibilities for enhancing efficiency are described. It is demonstrated that limited supplementary firing of the heat recovery steam generator can be an interesting alternative and that this allows efficiency and plant size to be increased. The effects of supplementary firing on NOx emissions are also shown.

Natural gas fired combined cycle power plants now take a substantial share of the power generation market, mainly because they can be delivering power with a remarkable efficiency shortly after the decision to install is taken, and because they are a relatively low capital cost option. The power generation markets becoming more and more competitive in terms of the cost of electricity, the trend is to go for high performance equipments, notably as far as the gas turbine and the heat recovery steam generator are concerned. The heat recovery steam generator is the essential link in the combined cycle plant, and should be optimized with respect to the cost of electricity. This asks for a techno-economic optimization with an objective function which comprises both the plant efficiency and the initial investment. This paper applies on an example the incremental cost method, which allows to optimize parameters like the pinch points and the superheat temperatures. The influence of the plant load duty on this optimization is emphasized. This is essential, because the load factor will not usually remain constant during the plant life-time. The example which is presented shows the influence of the load factor, which is important, as the plant goes down in merit order with time, following the introduction of more modern, more efficient power plants on the same grid.

This paper addresses the detection of the short-circuit faults and the active fault tolerant control (AFTC) of the brushless direct current motor (BLDCM) based on the interval type-2 fuzzy-second order sliding mode. In this article, the main idea consists of using an algorithm to detect the fault in an electric current. This algorithm corrects the detected fault. In this study, a hybrid technique of fault tolerant control is proposed. This technique based on interval type 2 fuzzy logic and second order sliding mode. Also, it facilitates the procedures for setting and controlling the velocity of BLDCM. For that, a dynamic model for direct current has been established. Furthermore, short circuit faults have also been introduced between turns to test the robustness of the control laws. Finally, a theoretical analysis is presented and the simulations are presented in order to validate the proposed control strategy. The proposed AFTC can then achieve favorable tracking performance.
