Development of a multi-generating complex with combined fuel in the production of hydrogen and oxygen

Abstract

The article presents the research result on increasing the energy efficiency of thermal power plants (TPP). The centralized production of hydrogen at thermal power plants by multigeneration is proposed. A multigeneration complex was developed with additional production of hydrogen and oxygen. An exergy and economic analysis was carried out for TPPs with an electrical capacity of 230 MW and a thermal capacity of 394 Gcal/h. The comparison of the TPP in the current mode and in the multigeneration mode at its transfer to the nominal mode with the aim of additional production of hydrogen and oxygen was performed. The efficiency of the plant transition to the multi-generation mode with both economic analysis and exergy analysis has been proved.
