Abstract

Evaluation of System for Economically Viable Thermal Power Plant Operation

Highlights

  • A big step forward has been made in last decade on development of solar central receiver systems

  • Taking into consideration the impacts of global warming and strict European Union policy 2030 climate & energy framework, it is imminent for conventional thermal power plants to modernize their infrastructure for achieving economically viable operation on demanding electricity market

  • The goal of research work is to determine whether the designed model is profitable on current European electricity market or not

Summary

INTRODUCTION

A big step forward has been made in last decade on development of solar central receiver systems. They are a crucial part of energy infrastructure to minimize the use of fossil fuels for electricity production, and they can produce significant amounts of electricity as well as be capable of storing energy in the form of the heat [1]. Combining small CRS and Organic Rankine Cycle is presented in the work of Matthew S. Orosz with the title Small-scale solar ORC system for distributed power [3]. As presented hereinafter, is focused on the evaluation of the economically viable operation of a conventional thermal power plant in combination with CRS and FGD systems
