DUAL-FUEL POWER PLANTS AND COMBINED CYCLE GAS TURBINE COGENERATION PLANTS

Discover a groundbreaking publication that analyzes the energy and economic profitability of constructing modern dual-fuel gas and steam power plants. Learn how to modernize existing coal-fired power plants to achieve higher efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions. This book, along with the earlier publication by Prof. Ryszard Bartnik, provides a complete guide to gas and steam systems.

• Analysis of the efficiency of energy and economic new gas and steam blocks.
• Methods and mathematical models for the modernization of coal blocks.
• Selection of the power of the gas turbine and the structure of the waste heat boiler.
• Practical tips for engineers and investors.
• Reduction of pollutant emissions into the environment.
• Mathematical model of a coal block rebuilt with a gas turbine set and a waste heat boiler.
• Complete knowledge of dual-fuel gas and steam systems.

This book is aimed at a wide audience, including students and research staff of technical universities in fields such as energy, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, and mechanical engineering. The publisher also recommends this publication to engineers involved in the planning, construction, and operation of power plants and combined heat and power plants, professional energy workers, and investors in gas and steam power plants.

The issues contained in the book are new to the publishing market. Dual-fuel gas and steam systems, in addition to the construction of new power units, offer great modernization potential for existing combined heat and power plants and coal-fired power plants. This modernization allows for a significant reduction in pollutant emissions into the environment, which is in line with the European Union's requirements for carbon dioxide emissions.

The book presents a mathematical model of a 370 MW coal block rebuilt with a gas turbine set and a waste heat boiler. This model enables readers to independently build mathematical models for other thermal systems of power units, which allows them to analyze their energy and economic profitability. This publication is a valuable source of knowledge for anyone interested in modern technologies in the energy sector.

Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN, known for its high-quality scientific publications, provides readers with a comprehensive study that combines theory with practical aspects of energy engineering. This book is an invaluable tool for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of efficient and ecological solutions in the field of energy.
