Thermal Analysis of Combined Cycle Power Plant with Desalination Unit

Abstract:

The aim of the present study is to utilize the excess energy of combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in desalination unit in cases of low electrical demand loading conditions. The main components of proposed (CCPP) included the gas turbine and steam turbine units. Gas turbine produces the major part of the developed power, while the steam turbine produces the remaining one in case of peak loading conditions. For the case of base load, the excess energy of steam turbine is used in desalination unit.
