Abstract:

Carbon dioxide causes green house effect and has been considered as a pollutant source forsafe environment. Since combustion of fossil fuel may create tremendous amount of carbon dioxide,detecting any pollutant sources would be important to eliminate the origin of pollution sources.Evaluation of smoke dispersion generated by the power plant utilizing fossil fuel is the objective of thispaper. The concentration of NOx and SOx in the soil till a distance of 15 km from Neka power plant,have been analyzed. The maximum concentrations of SOx and NOx in the distance of 2.5 to 4 km fromthe power plant were 0.13 and 0.36 ppm, respectively. Replacement of fossil fuel (fuel no. 6, Mazout) bynatural gas may increase NOx concentration in the atmosphere; however the use of natural gas wasrecommend by environmental protection agencies as clean fuel. Use of natural gas may not be an actualsolution for prevention of NOx pollution.

Fossil Fuel Power Plant Simulators for Operator Training

Before the 1970 ́s the use of simulators to train the operation personnel of the power plants was not widely diffused. In these times, the operators acquire their skills by working head to head with some experienced operators in the actual plant, so they learned all the knowledge of their mentor, this means, all the virtues and defects of the experienced people. As expected, the trainees also re...

Comparative Assessments of Fossil Fuel Power Plants

Studies of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) costs necessarily employ a host of technical and economic assumptions regarding the particular technology or system of interest, including details regarding the capture technology design, the power plant or gas stream treated, and the methods of CO2 transport and storage. Because the specific assumptions employed can dramatically affect the results of an...

Hybrid Solar-Fossil Fuel Power Generation

In this thesis, a literature review of hybrid solar-fossil fuel power generation is first given with an emphasis on system integration and evaluation. Hybrid systems are defined as those which use solar energy and fuel simultaneously, thus excluding the viable alternative of solar thermal plants which use fossil fuels as backup. The review is divided into three main sections: performance metric...
