COMPLEX ENGINEERING PROBLEM

Power plants are used to generate electricity for the smooth running of industries and domestic

life. Electricity is the basic need for industries. The electricity is obtained from national grid

station by industries but many industries have their own thermal power plants as well for

meeting the energy needs of the shift and in case of load shedding. Therefore, you are required to

design a thermal power plant with the capacity of 10 MW. Also study the following aspects for

designing the power plant.

a. Environmental aspects
b. Suggest appropriate fuel

Functional requirements of thermal power plant


include:
1. Boiler / Heat exchanger outlet pressure should be > 6000 kPa
2. Temperature of steam entering the turbine should be > 320°C
3. Steam condenser pressure operates on 20 kPa
4. Isentropic efficiency of steam turbine is 90%
5. Air temperature entering the gas turbine is 20°C
6. Air pressure entering the gas turbine is 101kPa
7. Isentropic efficiency of Gas turbine is 90
8. Isentropic efficiency of turbine is 80%
9. Maximum gas cycle temperature is 1100°C
10. The compressor pressure ratio is 8

Deliverables
1. Understanding the design process, its implementation and related complete discussion in
2. the report.
3. Using of software (including excel, EES, Matlab or any other relevant software)
4. A complete comparison among simple (steam gas) cycle, reheating, intercooling,
5. regeneration and combined cycle
6. Impact of power plant on the environment
7. Proper report formatting is required.
