Efficiency and cost modelling of thermal power plants

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...

Thermal Power Plants

Since producing our first steam turbine in 1959, Fuji Electric has manufactured more than 464 steam turbines having a total combined output capacity that exceeds 23,619 MW, and has delivered these turbines to various countries throughout the world. In the industrial sector, Fuji Electric shipped Japan's first supercritical, pure transformation plant in 1973, achieving higher operating efficienc...

Cost Efficiency Evaluation via Data Envelopment Analysis Approach for Undesirable Outputs based on the Weak Disposability Axiom (Case Study: 56 Electricity Producing Thermal Power Plants in Iran)

Cost efficiency evaluation is a very important and applicable issue in Data Envelopment ‎Analysis (DEA). In this paper, the classical cost efficiency model in which all the input ‎prices are known and fixed for each decision making unit is developed via undesirable ‎outputs with the weak disposability axiom. The proposed model is a nonlinear model ‎under the variable returns to scale condition,...
