Development of Energy Efficient Technologies for Burning Coal in Modern Thermal Power Plants and Efficiency Assessment Tools

An Improved Flexible Solar Thermal Energy Integration Process for Enhancing the Coal-Based Energy Efficiency and NOx Removal Effectiveness in Coal-Fired Power Plants under Different Load Conditions

An improved flexible solar-aided power generation system (SAPG) for enhancing both selective catalytic reduction (SCR) de-NOx efficiency and coal-based energy efficiency of coal-fired power plants is proposed. In the proposed concept, the solar energy injection point is changed for different power plant loads, bringing about different benefits for coal-fired power generation. For partial/low lo...

Technologies for Reducing Emissions in Coal-Fired Power Plants

ly coal combustion, are major contributors to air pollution. Concentrations of suspended particles and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the air of many cities in developing countries exceed World Health Organization standards1. The effects of this pollution on human health can be devastating and in the most seriously affected countries the economic costs are estimated to be a significant percentage of G...

Advanced Emissions Control Technologies for Coal-Fired Power Plants

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Estimating Efficiency of Thermal and Hydroelectric Power Plants in Iranian Provinces

This paper aims at estimating the efficiency of hydroelectric power plants (renewable energy resources) and thermal power plant (non-renewable energy resources) in Iranian provinces. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approaches is applied to estimate the efficiency. The network is modeled as a linear system with multiple inputs and one output. Fuel cost, labor force, operation cost are used as in...
