Abstract:

As electricity production from renewable sources increases, higher flexibility is required by fossil fuel generation to cope with the inherent fluctuations of solar and wind power. This results in shorter operating cycles and steeper ramps for the turbines, and more uncertainty for the operators. This thesis work applies mathematical optimization and statistical learning to improve the economic dispatch of a combined cycle power plant composed by two separate blocks of two gas turbines and one steam turbine. The goal is to minimize the input fuel to the gas turbines while respecting a series o

This gives grounds for implementation sun energy projects for electricity generation. It is interesting that the efficiency of modern solar power station nowadays reaches up to 14,4%, however 5 years ago at the height of the popularity of solar modules their efficiency does not exceed 10%. It is believed 5-10 years later, this index closer to 30%. Due to new technologies introduction quite naturally the cost of electricity will fall. Such prospects in the development of solar energy make it one of the most attractive destinations in attracting foreign investment. An important advantage of the

Abstract:

The plant size distribution differs systematically across developed and developing countries. For example, in developing countries, less than one fifth of 1% of plants are large (employ 100 or more employees) and account for about one fifth of total employment. In sharp contrast, in developed countries, more than 1.6% of plants are large and account for more than two fifth of total employment. In this dissertation, I develop a model of plant size to account for the differences in the plant size distribution observed in the data. In the first chapter, I explore the link between plant size distr

Abstract:

Nowadays, carbon capture and sequestration technologies can be considered as the most useful method in order to stop global warming which is caused by the increase of CO2 emissions. This innovative strategy exploits of the underground formations capacity to storage carbon dioxide safely. We are managing to reduce the 38 gigatonnes of CO2 annually emitted to reach the Paris agreement conditions. Scotland will start in short time a new CCS plant in the North Sea. This project is known as ACT ACORN and it involves storing about 150 megatonnes of CO2. The average sequestration cost will be

Fossil fuels continue to deplete with use as they are irreplaceable. In addition, the environmental impact with the continuous use of these conventional fuels has generated global concern due to the production of harmful emission gases.

There is however the need for an integrated approach to assess gas turbine engine behaviour in terms of performance, emission and economics when they are running on biofuels.

Abstract:

Concentrating solar power plants can integrate cost-effective thermal energy storage systems and thereby supply controllable power on demand, an advantage against other renewable technologies. Storage integration allows a solar thermal power plant to increase its load factor and to shift production to periods of peak demand. It also enables output firmness, providing stability to the power block and to the grid. Thus, despite the additional investment, storage can enhance the performance and economic viability of the plants. However, the levelized cost of electricity of these plants yet remain

Abstract:

The demand for fossil fuels by Ontario's conventional steam power generation sector is examined. It is hypothesised that the enactment of a carbon fee policy will induce a change in the relative prices of the three fuels used in this sector (coal, natural gas and heavy fuel oil). This would lead to substantial interfuel substitution and greenhouse gas abatement. The demand share equations for the three fuels are derived from the translog functional form and set in a simulation model to estimate the value of a carbon fee necessary, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in compliance with the Kyoto

Abstract:

In modern days electric power systems, the penetration of renewable resources and the introduction of free market principles have led to new challenges facing the power producers and regulators. Renewable production is intermittent which leads to fluctuations in the grid and requires more control for regulators, and the free market principle raises the challenge for power plant producers to operate their plants in the most profitable way given the fluctuating prices. Those problems are addressed in the literature as the Economic Dispatch, and they have been discussed from both regulator and pr

Abstract:

The human effort to continuously improve their standard of living in conjunction with the rapid growth of world‟s population, the reckless and the wasteful misuse of energy reserves threaten to lead mankind in an energy deadlock. In an effort to realize the size of the waste of our planet‟s available energy resources, we only need to point out that people have spent the last century stocks of raw materials and energy, which were saved and produced during the lifetime of our planet. The management of the energy systems in a proper and best way is considered to be essential worldwide. In this pr

Abstract:

Thesis (M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 1999.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaf 157).<br>For U.S. nuclear power stations to continue to generate electricity they must operate both safely and economically. Although the average safety and economic performance of U.S. power stations has improved over the past several years, some plants have not reached or have not sustained high performance levels. Stations achieving sustained high performance levels were identified by an analysis of safety and economic performance data. The core attributes
