After more than one century from its first use for electric power production, steam cycles are
still the object of continuous research and development efforts worldwide. Indeed, owing to …

Accurate estimation of the energy storage capacity of a cavern with a defined storage
volume and type is the very first step in planning and engineering a Compressed Air Energy …

Gas turbine performance is very sensitive to the ambient air conditions, particularly in hot
and arid climates. Various turbine inlet air cooling (TIAC) techniques including mechanical …

In this study, energy and exergy analyses of boiler blowdown heat recovery are performed.
To evaluate the effect of heat recovery on the system performance, a steam power plant in …

Underground coal gasification (UCG) allows for the utilization of coal reserves not
exploitable due to unfavorable geology and economic boundary conditions. The present …

This paper presents the findings from a multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization study
on the design parameters of an underwater compressed air energy storage system …

One of the most favorable thermal desalination methods used widely today is Multiple
Effects Distillation (MED). Thermal nature of MED process causes the integration of a …

A novel combined molten carbonate fuel cell–steam turbine based system is proposed
herein. In this cycle, steam is produced through the recovery of useful heat of an internal …

Due to thermal nature of multi-effect desalination (MED), its integration with a suitable power
cycle is highly desirable for waste heat recovery. One of the proper power cycle for proposed …

Abstract Design optimization of a (heat recovery steam generator) HRSG is essential due to
its direct impact on large power generation combined cycles. This study is aimed at giving a …
