Economic Analysis on the Combined Power/ Refrigerating Cycle for Power Plant Air Cooling System

Abstract:

At present, the development of power industry is facing the pressure of energy saving and emission reduction. This paper reviewed briefly the strategy for development in optimizing power cycle and improving comprehensive utilization of heat energy. A economic analysis was made to the combined power cycle/refrigerating cycle air cooling system (hereinafter called ‘combined cycle air cooling system’ or ‘CCACS’) which presented previously and estimated its contribution to energy saving and emission reduction in this paper. An analog computation example shows that the combined cycle air cooling system based on the compression refrigeration is feasible and effective. Finally this paper pointed out that the air-cooling system is facing the re-selection under the new situation, the indirect air-cooling system will be of importance to the development, and the combined cycle air cooling system will become a kind of new options.
