Combined cycle systems for near-zero emission power generation
Book information
Description
Combined cycle power plants are one of the most promising ways of improving fossil-fuel and biomass energy production. The combination of a gas and steam turbine working in tandem to produce power make this type of plant highly efficient and allows for CO2 capture and sequestration before combustion. The editor and contributors provide a comprehensive review of the design, engineering and operational issues of a range of advanced combined cycle plants. After introductory chapters on basic combined cycle power plant and advanced gas turbine design, the book reviews the main types of combined cycle system. Chapters discuss the technology, efficiency and emissions performance of natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) as well as novel humid air cycle, oxy-combustion turbine cycle systems. Combined cycle systems for near-zero emission power generation goes on to review pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC), externally fired combined cycle (EFCC), hybrid fuel cell turbine (FC/GT) combined cycle and integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) systems. The final chapter provides a techno-economic analysis of combined cycle systems.
