Combined Power Cycle
A combined Power cycle is based on the coupling of two different power cycles
such that the waste heat from one cycle is used partially or totally as the heat source
for other cycle.
Two power cycle are combined:
➢ Gas-turbine (Brayton) topping cycle.
➢ Steam-turbine (Rankine) cycle.

Cogeneration System
The Technique of sequential production of energy usually electrical and thermal
from single energy source is called cogeneration.

The performance of a cogeneration system is frequently measured in terms of


effectiveness

Area where Cogeneration is attractive????


Gas turbine cogeneration plant based on atmospheric fluidized-bed
combustion of coal.

➢ An alternative cogeneration system based on gas turbine operation.


➢ Avoid “High quality” energy source such as oil, natural gas.
➢ Heat supplied provided by an atmospheric fluidized bed combustion process.
➢ Equipment operate with pressure ratio from 4 to 8.
Cogeneration plant based on atmospheric coal gasification and a
combined cycle.

➢ A more advanced approach is to incorporate into overall system, the concept of coal
gasification, a combined cycle,& cogeneration.
➢ Thermal to electric ratio between 1.5 to 2.5 indicate an overall efficiency of 60 to 70
percent.
➢ Low cost.
➢ Low emission to the environment.
➢ Low water usage.
Fuel-cell system employed for cogeneration needs

➢ A portion of process heat is back supply to the fuel processing section.

➢ Power converter convert dc power to ac power from power section

➢ Low emission to the environment.
