Abstract:
Due to the penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) sources, conventional coal fired power plants need to operate with greater flexibility via two-shifting or low load operation whilst remaining reliable and conserving the lifetime of components. Thick sectioned components are prone to thermal fatigue cracking as a result of through-wall temperature gradients during start up and shutdown. These temperature gradients can be significantly amplified during quenching when components at high temperature are unintentionally exposed to colder liquid or steam. Such quench events are known to occ

Guided waves are already used extensively in the petrochemical industry, however the nature of pipework in a power station has meant that guided waves have not been studied for use in this environment. Power station pipework is more challenging to inspect than petrochemical pipework using guided waves because the pipelines tend to be shorter, and the feature density is much higher, with welds, hangers, supports and bends all contributing to make analysis of results more

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to examine different technologies, which enhances the CO2 partial pressure in the flue gas from the natural gas combined cycle. A base case has been created as a reference for comparison of the other cycles. The base case includes a MEA capture plant with a reboiler duty of 3,6 MJ/kg CO2. To simulate the process in this thesis HYSYS and GT PRO have been used as simulation tools. The thesis has also looked into ways of extracting steam from the steam cycle to be used in the reboiler. The chosen extraction point was the crossover between the intermediate-pressure t

Abstract:
In ABB, Soundplan is the usually used software to predict the industrial noise for power transmission plants. However, the sound sources in Soundplan are modeled as point sources between which there are no sound reflections. For the real situation, the sound sources are very big and can be regarded as noise barriers. So it is important to take the reflections between sound sources into consideration.COMSOL Multiphysics is Finite Element Method (FEM) software which can model acoustic object with sound-reflective boundaries. First, the COMSOL model for single component inside the power transmiss

Abstract:
The thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) of power plant components is caused by the cyclic operation of power plant due to startup and shutdown processes and due to the fluctuation of demand in daily operation. Thus, a time-dependent plasticity model is required in order to simulate the component response under cyclic thermo-mechanical loading. The overall aim behind this study is to develop a material constitutive model, which can predict the creep and cyclic loading behaviour at high temperature environment, based on the cyclic loading test data of the P91 and the P92 steels. The tests on all spe

Abstract:
Power generation from biomass based renewable energy technologies is a promising option in retrofitting our dependence in conventional power generation processes. The development of any society is not possible without sustainable energy and access to energy creates that environment that allows the world to thrive. Electricity access especially in developing regions of the world is of particular interest. This work provides results on electricity efficiency, the economic feasibility and environmental impact of biomass based power technologies in small scale setting using Aspen Plus software. Th

Abstract:
En studie av en mindre kraftstation har gjorts i samarbete med Exencotech som forskar inom energi-återvinning. Deras kraftstation behandlar återvinning av värme från uppvärmt vatten som annars inte hade använts utan ansetts som ren förlust. Den studie som genomförts har gjorts på ett 100kW system med en så stor möjlighet till modularitet som är möjligt för anpassning och flexibel installation. Studien har även innefattat en 5kW prototyp och en modulär version av 100kW systemet upp till 0,5MW. Applikationen har som krav att framför allt minska volymen och storleken på systemet.
