Power plants require continuous monitoring and inspection at frequent intervals. In the recent times, thermal power generation has under gone long process of modification right from its conventional working principles to automation using technology in the form of DCS, PLC, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) etc. An automated system improves the system efficiency, plant monitoring,...

The (14)C method is a very reliable and sensitive method for industrial plants, emission authorities and emission inventories to verify data estimations of biogenic fractions of CO(2) emissions. The applicability of the method is shown for flue gas CO(2) samples that have been sampled in 1-h intervals at a coal- and wood-fired power plant and a waste incineration plant. Biogenic flue gas CO(2) ...

The paper aims to study the whole process mathematical model for a supercritical coal-fired power plant. The modeling procedure is based on thermodynamic and engineering principles and the previously published literatures. Model unknown parameters are identified using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) with 600MW supercritical power plant on-site measurement data. The identified parameters are verified w...

With ever increasing energy demand no site for setting up power plant can be left un-harnessed. Therefore, in the present work a methodology based upon the combination of graph theory and matrix method is developed so that an site may be evaluated in terms of best suitability for setting up a power plant. Factor responsible for best operational performance of a power plant are identified and ev...
