Integration of thermal energy storage with concentrated solar power (CSP) plant aids in
smoothing of the variable energy generation from renewable sources. Supercritical carbon …

Integrated solar combined cycles (ISCCs) need to be able to handle some of the most
dynamic operating conditions of any power generation system in order to provide the …

We co-optimize the design and operations of a flexible semi-closed oxygen-combustion
combined cycle (SCOC-CC) carbon capture plant under time-varying electricity prices. The …

This book covers the design, analysis, and optimization of the cleanest, most efficient fossil
fuel-fired electric power generation technology at present and in the foreseeable future. The …

Gas turbine combined cycles (GTCC) using a steam bottoming cycle are a widely used
technology for electric power generation. From [1] it is known that the best current large …

This work performs energetic and exergetic analysis of a CCPP, by using a full-scope
simulator, which faithfully reproduces the operation of a real Brazilian CCPP. The analyses …

Combined cycle power plants (CCPP) are increasingly important for safer and cleaner
electricity generation. In this context it is imperative to explore options to enhance its thermal …

The paper presents an analysis of the operating parameters of the Combined Cycle Gas
Turbine (CCGT) systems in Italy in the years from 2006 to 2013, studying the environmental …

Because of the increasing share of renewables in the energy market, part load operation of
gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plants has become a major issue. In combination …

We report the application of the Model-based Predictive Control (MPC) to improve the
performance of the start-up of a 150⊕ 75 MW combined cycle power plant whose gas …
