Renewable energies are sources of energy derived from inexhaustible natural resources. In other words, they are regenerated at the same speed at which they are consumed, and they are freely available. In the new millennium, we find multiple typologies of

In recent years, reducing the cost of energy production and transmitting electricity in remote areas of the distribution network have attracted many researchers’ attention. One of the methods to fulfill these objectives is using a gas micro-turbine cycle. In this

This study deals with thermodynamic and economic analysis of a combined gas turbine and Organic Rankine Cycle integrated with a biomass gasifier. A modified model is used to increase the precision of the gasifier thermodynamic model. Seven decision variables, namely,

This chapter deals with thermodynamic modeling, parametric analysis, and optimization of an integrated system to recover energy from pressure reduction station in city gate station (CGS). This chapter aims to fully cover the thermodynamic modeling of an integrated system consisting

The application of the exergy and exergoeconomic analysis for energy conversion systems is growing steadily. This analysis is particularly useful for energy conversion systems such as the combined-cycle power plant (CCPP). This paper deals with exergy and exergoeconomic analysis of

The objective of this paper is to perform the exergy and exergo–economic analysis of Isfahan steam power plant. A simulation program is used for modelling the Isfahan steam power plant in Iran. The exergy balance is used to estimate the

Combined cycle power plants (CCPPs) have an important role in power generation. The objective of this paper is to evaluate irreversibility of each part of Neka CCPP using the exergy analysis. The results show that the combustion chamber, gas turbine,

The thermal-economic optimization of a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) which can provide 140 MW of electrical power is discussed in this paper. The CCPP is composed of a gas turbine cycle (including, air compressor, combustion chamber, gas turbine), heat
