A Thermoeconomic Evaluation of CO2 Capture with Focus on Gas Turbine-Based Power Plants

摘要: The increasing emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning are today thought to be one the main contributors global warming. At same time, developing countries striving for an increased welfare and more fuel, which in turn is augmenting greenhouse gas effect. In this thesis current understanding connection between gases climate illuminated, while some contradictory theories also presented. Believing a threat climate, has been sufficiently evidenced take actions against it, possible option capture power plants permanently store it underground. different technologies described. A thermodynamic model post-combustion flue detailed, including models humidifier exhaust condenser; components much needed proposed plant layouts production with low or no dioxide. Furthermore, economic suitable modelling schemes environment changing prices incentives reduced levels, number case studies, thermoeconomic performance such compared, often standard combined cycle used as reference base. studies performance, thermoeconomic, have optimised optimisation tool based on genetic algorithms, method thoroughly explained thesis. Case include among others; turbines humid air without CO2 capture, pre-combustion AZEP cycles. An overview methods transport storage CO2, together cost estimates potential detailed conclusion made positive message that there seems viable business high both oil certified rights. (Less)
