Thermal Performance of a Biomass Plant with a Triple Generation System

Supplementary firing (SF) in a combined cycle power plant results in a gain in power but in a loss in efficiency. In the present work, Kalina cycle plant (KCP) has integrated in series to the steam power plant to compensate this efficiency penalty to some extent. The effects of the relative air fuel ratio (RAFR), steam fuel ratio (SFR), and compressor pressure ratio have been examined on plant energy efficiency, power, and stack temperature of integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant. It has been found that lower values of RAFR, SFR, and compressor pressure ratio results favorable conditions to the IGCC plant.
