Εnergy-exergy analysis of ultra-supercritical biomass-fuelled steam power plants for industrial CHP, district heating and cooling

A fast and accurate modeling approach for water and steam thermodynamics with practical applications in district heating system simulation

“…Several steam plant simulation studies do not declare which medium model they adopted for steam and water thermodynamics, but still ought to be mentioned. These simulation studies include ultra-critical biomass steam power plants [33], new industrial waste heat recovery systems with seasonal thermal storage [34], new waste heat DH systems with CHP [35], and optimization of coal-fired CHP to decouple heat and power modes [36]. In addition to Modelon's Thermal Power Library [30], there are numerous Modelica libraries suitable for steam plants, such as ClaRa+ [37] and ThermoSysPro [38].…”

Energy, Exergy, Exergoeconomic, and Exergoenvironmental Assessment of Flash-Binary Geothermal Combined Cooling, Heating and Power Cycle

“…They also carried out an optimization of this system by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Braimakis et al [20] conducted an energy and exergy assessment of the ultra-supercritical biomass-fueled steam cycle. They performed sensitivity analyses for widespread ranges of heat demand.…”

Multi-objective bat optimization for a biomass gasifier integrated energy system based on 4E analyses

“…Also, the impacts of reference temperature are determined for the temperature of the gasifier and solar radiation intensity. For direct heating and cooling for industrial applications, Braimkis et al [27] suggested an ultra-supercritical biomass-based steam power plant. Different senarios were considered in that research and it was found that in the power-only plan, the proposed plant's power and exergy efficiencies were higher than the CHP scenario that the heat demand was maximum.…”
