About the Book

Thermodynamic and technical feasibility studies have been undertaken in this book to prove that combined-cycle systems based on gas-turbine and steam-turbine working in series as topping and bottoming plants form the most promising alternative technology for base load power generation in India in the coming decades. A large number of possible configurations of such plants have been documented by a coded nomenclature system. A 500 MW state-of-the-art steam power plant manufactured by Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. was chosen as a base case for comparison. Technical and product literature on Steam Turbines, Gas Turbines, Fluidised-Bed Combustors, Coal Gasifiers, Nuclear Reactors, etc., were obtained from world renowned manufacturers of this equipment. for validation of design data and calibration of design procedures, some case studies of existing plants were undertaken and are reported in Appendices. Based on a comprehensive study of literature, discussions with power experts and researcher’s personal experience in power industry, three types of combined-cycle power plants were selected for study. The two types of plants coupled to (i) Pressurised Fluidised-Bed Combustors and (ii) Coal Gasifiers are to work on high-ash, low quality Indian lignite whereas the third type of plant coupled to High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor is to utilize thorium which has its huge deposits in India. Design analysis of the 500 MW base case and the three types of selected combined-cycle plants was undertaken by evaluating several parameters, viz., techno economic performance including First Law energy balance, Second Law exergy analysis and distribution, sources of exergy destruction, waste discharges, etc. The comparative evaluation of the systems under study has been carried out with the aid of tabular data and decision diagrams. In conclusion, it is recommended to pursue the development of all the three proposed technologies. They have merits of clean and efficient energy conversion and economy of utilization of financial and natural resources.
