Abstract

A regenerative plant is examined with respect to cost and thermodynamic optimization using the power-quantity ratio (PQR) and the classical thermal efficiency. The PQR is compared with the thermal efficiency index in adaptive response intended for low carbon footprint in power production. The Dataq PLC is employed for smart embedded PC control. The ranges of values of the vaporizer pressure and temperature are 5–20 MPa and 350 – 580 oC, respectively. By specifying the values of the thermodynamic variables in the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software environment which was used to computerize the thermodynamic relations, the heat input and work output as well as the classical efficiency index are calculated.
