Determining the optimal scale size of a combined cycle power plant is inherently a complex problem often with multiple and conflicting criteria as well as uncertain factors. The complexity of the problem is compounded by the production of undesirable outputs and the presence of natural and managerial disposability. We propose a customized data envelopment analysis (DEA) method for solving the r...

Six Integrated Gasifi cation Combined-Cycle (IGCC) power plant confi gurations operating on bituminous coal were evaluated and the results are presented in this summary sheet. All cases were analyzed on the same basis, using a consistent set of assumptions and analytical tools. Each gasifi er type was assessed with and without carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). The individual confi guratio...

Population growth, technological advancements, and growing living standards have all contributed to a rise in energy demand. Due the fact that fossil fuels are not sustainable, renewable sources emerged as viable alternative. The need for development is time. In this study, combined cycle power plant which solar integrated discussed. For purpose, designed model calculations; data, values of Emi...
