Transient Analysis and Execution-Level Power Tracking Control of the Concentrating Solar Thermal Power Plant by Xiufan Liang, Yiguo Li

“…To address this issue, this paper systematically studies the execution-level power tracking control strategy of an CSP plant, primarily aiming at coordinating the control of the sluggish steam generator (including the economizer, the boiler, and the superheater) and the fast steam turbine. The governing equations of the key energy conversion processes in the CSP plant are first presented and used as the simulation platform. …”

Energy and Exergy Analyses of a Combined Power Plant Based on Natural Gas Combustion by Khalaf Ibrahim Hamada, Marwah N Mohammed, Raad R. Jasim, Thamir K. Ibrahim

“…Furthermore, applying exergy analysis revealed that the combustion chamber had a significant source of exergy destruction rate, i.e., 224.58 MW, which corresponded to 67.48% of the total exergy destruction in the CCPP, followed by the air compressor 7.53%, and the steam turbine 7.07%. Meanwhile, increasing the turbine inlet temperature (TIT) reduced the exergy destruction rate of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine cycle. …”
