Abstract

This article explores the fundamental principles of thermal power generation, focusing on core components and functions in thermal power plants. It covers thermodynamics, the Rankine cycle, and heat transmission rules, with detailed examination of Rankine cycles and heat transfer mechanisms in plant components. It also discusses internal combustion engines, particularly diesel engines, and Advanced Exergy-Based Analyses in system analysis. These analyses aim to identify preventable exergy destruction sources and costs within components, with ongoing development addressing issues like validating exergy dissipation divisions. Synthesis methodologies include superstructure-based and superstructure-free approaches. The former uses a steam network to create a steam-cycle superstructure, integrating with a heat exchanger network for comprehensive flowsheets. The latter employs SYNTHSEP and ECH-based methods, with the ECH-based method excelling in comprehensive flowsheet synthesis and offering easy expansion with precise models. Both methods use bi-level decomposition techniques combining evolutionary algorithms and mathematical programming.
