The use of LNG for the production of additional energy is topical today. Very often LNG is used for gasification of settlements and industrial enterprises. LNG makes it possible to gasify objects remote from main pipelines for long distances by creating an LNG reserve directly from the consumer, avoiding the construction of expensive piping systems. However, in this case, there are large losses of cryoproduct and its low-potential heat. In this article, we propose a technical solution for compensating for the loss of cryoproducts during storage using an installation consisting of two circuits, one of which is a loss compensation loop and the other is a circuit for generating additional energy. The conducted researches showed that the use of this system allowed to return the previously used for liquefying electric power in the amount of 24%.

The article presents result of a research a system of the venting of exhaust gases of the recovery boiler the gas turbine plant through the natural draft cooling tower in the environment. The use of this scheme allows the fl ue gases to lower the temperature of the circulating water at the outlet of the cooling tower to provide a deeper vacuum in the condenser steam turbine combined cycle power plant with simultaneous reduction of capital to build chimneys. As a result of the application of this scheme, an increase in the absolute electric effi ciency of turbines is achieved. As stated in Article method of calculating the removal of exhaust fl ue gas systems with a perforated distributor ring allows to determine the level of engineering design and volume requirements of these systems.

A graphical method of calculating the performance of gas turbine cycles, developed by Hawthorne and Davis (1), is adapted to determine the pressure ratio of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant which will give maximum overall efficiency. The results of this approximate analysis show that the optimum pressure ratio is less than that for maximum efficiency in the higher level (gas turbine) cycle but greater than that for maximum specific work in that cycle. Introduction of reheat into the higher cycle increases the pressure ratio required for maximum overall efficiency.

Utilization of windpower is considerably increasing in many countries around of the world. However, it produces an unreliable output due to the vagaries of the wind profile. To solve the problem, wind energy should be supported by local conventional sources. The requirements concerning the reliability and quality of electric energy supply can be most satisfactorily fulfilled when a windfarm is connected to a large electric power system. Then any electric power fluctuations, resulting either from wind turbulence or power demand variation, provoke system frequency variations. They should be damped by applying an appropriate control system of such a large power system. In this paper, the problem of control of a separate electric power system composed of windpower farm and supported by a gas turbine plant or a combined cycle has been investigated. First, the impact of wind turbulence on gas turbine plant control system has been modeled and simulated. This is carried out for different amplitudes and frequencies of wind speed. Next, the structure of gas turbine plant control system and its parameters have been adapted to limit the power and frequency fluctuations resulting from wind turbulence. Then the design is further developed by considering a combined cycle instead of a single gas turbine.

Trends towards distributed power generation and the deregulation of energy markets are increasing the requirement for software tools that optimize power generation plant design and operation. In this context, this paper describes the GTPOM (thermo-economic optimization of whole gas turbine plant) European project, funded in part through the European Commission’s 5th Framework Programme, focusing on the development and demonstration of an original software tool for the thermo-economic analysis and optimization of conventional and advanced energy systems based on gas turbine plant. PSEconomy, the software tool developed during the GTPOM project, provides a thermo-economic optimization capability for advanced and more-conventional energy systems, enabling the complex trade-offs between system performance and installed costs to be determined for different operational duties and market scenarios. Furthermore, the code is capable of determining the potential benefits of innovative cycles or layout modifications to existing plants compared with current plant configurations. The economic assessment is performed through a complete through-life cycle cost analysis, which includes the total capital cost of the plant, the cost of fuel, O&M costs and the expected revenues from the sale of power and heat. The optimization process, carried out with a GA-based algorithm, is able to pursue different objective functions as specified by the User. These include system efficiency, through-life cost of electricity and through-life internal rate of return. Three case studies demonstrating the capabilities of the new tool are presented in this paper, covering a conventional combined cycle system, a biomass plant and a CO2 sequestration gas turbine cycle. The software code is now commercially available and is expected to provide significant advantages in the near and long-term development of energy cycles.

The conversion of heat into electricity, generally speaking heat-to-power generation, is a wide area of technologies and applications. This paper focuses on available systems, excepted the internal combustion cycles, applied to transform (waste) heat to power. Data of referenced market proved or time-to-market technologies are presented. A database of more than 1100 references has been built. The following categories can be found: Rankine Cycle plant, Organic Rankine Cycle plant, Steam engine, Kalina Cycle plant, Brayton cycle plant, micro gas turbine, closed cycle gas turbine plant, combined cycle gas turbine plant, Stirling engine, Ericsson engine and thermoelectric generator. We intentionally target a range of power from Watts to hundreds of MW, covering the range of temperature [80–1000°C] usually addressed by these systems. The comparison of performances is hereby discussed and compared to thermodynamic principles and theoretical results in the graph Maximum temperature [°C] versus Thermodynamic efficiency. Comparison with Carnot and Chambadal-Novikov-Curzon-Ahlborn efficiencies are performed. A more original contribution is the presentation of the graph Power [W] versus Thermodynamic efficiency. The analysis reveals a monotonous trend inside each technology. Furthermore this general behavior covers a very wide range of power, including technological transitions. Finally, the position of each technology in the map Maximum temperature [°C] versus Power [W] is also analyzed. Explanations based on thermodynamics and techno-economic approaches are proposed.
