Analysis Of Scientific Research on Improving Energy Efficiency in Modern Thermal Power Plants

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of scientific research aimed at increasing energy efficiency in modern thermal power plants. The author studies the main problems encountered in the operation of steam turbine units installed in thermal power plants (TPPs). The use of solar energy technologies for the complete replacement of regenerative heaters and partial replacement of economizers and evaporator surfaces of steam generators is studied. Schemes are presented that represent the efficiency of solar-electric power plants for hybrid solar-organic fuel power plants developed by equipping existing steam cycle power plants with solar energy technology. Simulation modeling studies of a sample steam power unit with installed heaters and an economic analysis of the proposed solution are carried out using the Ebsilon Professional software.
