The study on seismic vulnerability of thermal power plants is great significance for damage prevention the electrical system and risk analysis economic loss. This paper presented a method obtaining matrix curve based beta function. Firstly, according to results in American ATC-25 report, expected values indexes under different intensities were calculated. It was assumed that substation plant sa...

This paper presents a modeling and control method for thermal power plants having nonlinear dynamics varying with load. First a load-dependent exponential ARX (Exp-ARX) model that can effectively describe the plant nonlinear properties and requires only off-line identification is presented. The model is then used to establish a constrained multivariate multi-step predictive control (ExpMPC) str...

Concentrating solar power (CSP) is a high-potential renewable energy source that can leverage various thermal applications. CSP plant development has therefore become global trend. However, the designing of for given resource condition and financial situation still work in progress. This study aims to develop mathematical model analyze levelized cost electricity (LCOE) Thermal Energy Storage (T...

with the increasing installed capacity of desalination, the greenhouse gas emission for generating the required energy to power the desalination plants is also becoming the focus of attention in the world community. domestic reverse osmosis membranes have been very successful technology especially in the developing world to provide safe drinking water. the novel concept of photovoltaic powered ...
