SIMULATION OF COGENERATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

In the present times of fast depleting fuel resource growing concern for environment and ever-increasing demand for electricity, the need for a more efficient and less polluting power plant is occurring. In this respect, the Gas turbine cogeneration system is a suitable system to present an attractive concept. Mainly three types of cogeneration systems viz. simple gas turbine cogeneration system, Gas turbine cogeneration system with regeneration and Gas turbine cogeneration system with alternative regeneration has been used in past decade offering a significant increase in cycle efficiency along with other environmental advantages. Gas turbine cogeneration systems are simple system with number of diverse components such as compressor, gas turbine, heat exchanger and combustion chamber, connected in interactive loop. In the present work attempt has been made to understand the performance of three above mentioned Gas turbine cogeneration systems based simulation by the...
