“…The investigation of exergy destructions within the whole plant with 600 and 660 MW supercritical coal-fired power generation units were also conducted by Liu and Duan (Liu, et al, 2010) and Yang et al (Yang, et al, 2013), respectively. The exergy equilibrium method has also been extensively applied to the analysis of energy consumption and economic efficiency of systems, including solar energy combined power generation (Zhu, et al, 2016;Adibhatla, et al, 2017), combined cycle power generation (Nami, et al, 2017), ground source heat pump system (Menberg, et al, 2017), lignite drying power generation (Han, et al, 2017), poly-generation with circulating fluidized bed (Gürtürk, et al, 2016;Tumen Ozdil, et al, 2016), optimization of heat supply network (Semkov, et al, 2014), distributed energy (Compton, et al, 2017), organic Rankine cycle (Darvish, et al, 2015;Zhao, et al, 2017), and CO 2-capturing (Jin, et al, 2016).…”
