Exergy Analysis of Coal-Fired Power Plants in Two Cooling Condition

Abstract:

The distribution of exergy destruction is different in power plant systems with water cooled condenser and air cooled condenser. A detailed comparison based on a conventional Rankine cycle with two different cooling configurations is carried out in this paper in an exergy perspective. The inefficiency of the overall systems is analyzed in the same amount of heat transfer capacity condition, it shows that the distribution of exergy destruction among components is similar in both conditions. And this study of energy consumption is benefit for realization of auto-efficient-working power plants in future.
