Electricity is one of the most vital ingredients of socio-economic development of a developing country like Bangladesh. Sufficient supply of electricity is essential for attracting both domestic and foreign investment. Bangladesh electricity generation is heavily dependent on fossil fuel mostly natural gas. Due to lack of gas supply to the power plants, the Bangladesh government has ordered par...

Abstract This paper presents an algorithm for generating association rules from a given large database consisting of inputs and outputs of a 330 MW coalfired thermal power plant. The input parameters include fuel properties, operational parameters of the boiler, and the conditions on the stack. The outputs include emissions and heat losses along with the thermal efficiency of the power plant. T...

On the basis of ISO value chain methodology; this paper estimates the influence of standardization on relevant value chain activities of thermal power enterprises. Taking M Thermal Power Plant as an example, this paper determines the value chain of enterprises first and then evaluate the influence of standardization on coal purchasing, power generation, safety supervision and materials manageme...

The utility solar power plants were reviewed and classified by two basic groups: direct thermal concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV). CSP as Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) of 100 MW solar power plants (SPP) is suggested and suitable to provide solar thermal power for Qatar. Although, LFC had enough experience for small projects, it is still need to work in large scale plant s...

In a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. This is achieved in a cooling tower. The Heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout Iran. Wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. Previous studi...
