Optimization of Cogeneration Power-Desalination Plants

Modeling Cogeneration Power Plants Using Neural Networks

As the energy cost is rising steadily and the environmental pollution is becoming an important issue, the roles of process plant boilers like that of the sugar plants boilers need better understanding as they can be made to operate in either energy conserving or bio-mass conserving modes. However, practical models of the plants need to be developed before any effort at optimization and cogenera...

Optimization of Outfall Systems in RO Desalination Plants (Case study: Bandar Abbas Desalination)

The outfall system is a medium to discharge the liquid waste generated by desalination plants, refineries and power plants to the marine environment. Optimal design and operation of an outfall system reduces the concentration of pollutants returned to the marine environment. Numerous researches have been carried out to study the different elements of outfall systems and related design basics. T...

Cogeneration Power-Desalting Plants Using Gas Turbine Combined Cycle

The gas-steam turbine combined cycle (GTCC) is the preferred power plant type because of its high efficiency and its use of cheap and clean natural gas as fuel. It is also the preferred type in the Arab Gulf countries where it is used as cogeneration power-desalting plant (CPDP). In this chapter, descriptions and analysis of the GTCC components are presented, namely, the gas turbine cycle (comp...
