In this paper, performance assessment of various building cogeneration systems is conducted through energy and exergy efficiencies. The cogeneration plants considered include steam-turbine system, gas-turbine system, diesel-engine system, and geothermal system. Here, the cogeneration operation refers to the simultaneous generation of electrical power and heating for buildings (especially for sp…
A thermodynamic optimization of the Denizli Kızıldere power plant is performed using real data, and some important results are obtained. The optimum flashing pressure is found to be 200 kPa. According to the existing geothermal power plant, 18% power augmentation is provided when the plant operates at this state. In addition, a new flash-binary model is proposed, and the optimum operating pre…
