From times immemorial it is a conversant rudimentary fact that the State Electricity Boards of India were cash strapped with no exception of bifurcated Andhra Pradesh. To avert from such precarious and deteriorating economic situations of widening gap between increasing trend of cost of supply of electricity and meagre power tariffs, the restructuring of Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board became quite inevitable according to the Electricity Reform Act of 1998 to ensure its commercial viability and efficiency. To usher gainful insights regarding rapid emergence of competitive markets in Thermal Electric Energy Industry, this research paper computes power tariff in Generation segment for Rayalaseema Thermal Power Plant with installed capacity of 2x210 MW both during Pro-Privatization Period and during Privatization Period with strict adherence to Central Electricity Regulation Commission ` (CERC) Guidelines. The estimated price per Kilo Watt Hour of electricity generated during pro privatization and during privatization was Rs.1.29 Paise per Kilowatt Hour and Rs.2.55 Paise per Kilowatt Hour. These calculations were based on the price opinionated and discriminatory techniques of pricing policies in partially monopolistically structure of Thermal Electricity Generation Industry. It comprises of recuperation of twelve-monthly static concerns and fixed expenditures that constitutes Interest on Principal amount rented, downgrading of assets, maneuvering operations and conservation measures of overwhelming expenditures, (eliminating energy feedstock), chargeable rate on income figured , interest on operational wealth at standard norm of production of electrical energy or voltage , productivity and lucrativeness of electric business in relation with equivalence or parity and energy inconstant duties and charges including feedstock fee with recouping for each unit or kilowatt of electric energy multifarious delivered. Value added to this, further estimations were carried out for projected power tariff for the tenure period ranging from 2019-2020 to 2031-2032 using statistical time series trend analysis. During all these future years similar trend is likely to be exhibited with estimated power tariff at Rs. 1.95 Paise per Kilo Watt Hour.

The paper presents experimental data and results from a prediction tool for the performance of a desiccant loop cooling system. The experiments are performed under a variety of high humidity and hot ambient conditions and the system performance is described. One of the experimental conditions is typical of many Indian cities and the systems appropriate for those cities are established. A simulation program that can predict the performance of the desiccant loop is developed. The simulation results show that this system can work as effectively as vapor compression air-conditioning for certain ambient conditions whereas it can function as a pre-cooler to a vapor compression system under more severe conditions, resulting in a reduced power consumption. The results presented in the paper give a guideline to practicing engineers as to when a desiccant loop cooling system would be useful. A simple payback analysis and a lifecycle cost analysis shows that a desiccant cooling system with a waste heat recovery recuperator is an economically viable investment.

Abstract Combustion of coal in thermal power plants generates ash as a residue, which depends on the quality of coal, specific to its ash content and calorific value. In a typical Indian scenario, a standard 210 MW thermal plant produces ∼57 T/hr total ash, which has 80:20 fly and bottom ash share, considering coal with 40% ash content. This study aims to harness the waste heat of fly ash collected at the bottom of the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) by coupling organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with 210 MW subcritical coal-fired thermal power plant works on R134a. Thermodynamic properties of R134a are taken from the PYroMAT library (python 3.6) to develop a computer-based program that estimates the variability of key parameters with respect to log mean temperature difference (LMTD). The main plant's efficiency was 28.714%, with main steam pressure, reheat pressure, and temperature being about 134.35 bar, 24.02 bar, and 540 °C, respectively, and combustion of coal is about 141.5 T/hr. The study shows additional generation from fly ash waste heat is about 30.5 kW with an increase in net power output (0.0145%) and net energy efficiency (0.0146%). The optimum value of LMTD for the evaporator, condenser, and recuperator is 40, 7, and 16 K, which yields the optimum energy efficiency and developed cost-effective design. The proposed system is economically analyzed, considering 25 years of equipment life and 14% of loan interest. The study shows that the payback period and the generation cost of electricity of ORC is about 6.22 years and INR 3.14 per kWh, respectively.

Abstract Enhancing the safety and economic competitiveness are major objectives in the development of advanced reactor designs with emphasis on the design of systems or components of the nuclear systems. Innovative power cycle development is another potential option to achieve these objectives. Sodium cooled fast reactor (SFR) is one among the six reactor design concepts identified by the Gen IV International Forum for development to meet the technology goals for new nuclear energy system. Similar to the power cycle used in conventional fossil fuel based thermal power plants, sodium-cooled fast reactors have adopted the Rankine cycle based power conversion system. However, the possibility of sodium water reaction is a major concern and it becomes necessary to adopt means of early detection of leaks and isolation of the affected SG module for mitigating any adverse impact of sodium water reaction. The high exothermic nature of the reaction calls for introducing an intermediate sodium heat transport loop, leading to high overall plant cost hindering commercialization of sodium fast reactors. The Indian Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) also uses Rankine cycle in the power generation system. The superheated steam temperature has been set at 490 degree Celsius based on optimisation studies and material limitations. Additional Fast Breeder reactors are planned in near future and further work is being done to develop more advanced sodium cooled fast reactors. The closed Brayton cycle is a promising alternative to conventional Rankine cycle. By selecting an inert gas or a gas with milder reaction with sodium, the vigorous sodium water reaction can be avoided and significant cost savings in the turbine island can be achieved as gas turbine power conversion systems are of much smaller size than comparable steam turbine systems due to their higher power density. In the study, various Brayton cycle designs on different working gases have been explored. Supercritical-CO2 (s-CO2), helium and nitrogen cycle designs are analyzed and compared in terms of cycle efficiency, component performance and physical size. The thermal efficiencies at the turbine inlet temperature of Indian PFBR have been compared for Rankine cycle and Brayton cycle based on different working fluids. Also binary mixtures of different gases are investigated to develop a more safe and efficient power generation system. Helium does not interact with sodium and other structural materials even at very high temperatures but its thermal performance is low when compared to other fluids. Nitrogen being an inert gas does not react with sodium and can serve to utilise existing turbomachinery because of the similarity with atmospheric air. The supercritical CO2 based cycle has shown best thermodynamic performance and efficiency when compared to other Brayton cycles for the turbine inlet temperature of Indian PFBR. CO2 also reacts with sodium but the reaction is mild compared to sodium water reaction. The cycle efficiency of the s-CO2 cycle can be further improved by adopting multiple reheating, inter cooling and recuperation.

Central-station power plants (CSPP) are the main provider of energy today. In the process of power generation at central-power stations, about 67% of primary energy is wasted. Distributed cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) systems are an alternative to central-station power plants. In these systems, an electrical generation system located in a residence or at a commercial site consumes natural gas to generate electricity locally and then the exhaust heat is utilized for local heating needs (in contrast to being wasted at central-stations). Microturbines offer a number of potential advantages compared to other technologies for small-scale power generation. For example, compact size and low-weight leading to reduced civil engineering costs, a small number of moving parts, lower noise and vibration, multi-fuel capabilities, low maintenance cost as well as opportunities for lower emissions. Inverter generators allow using micro-turbines of different shaft rotation speed that opens opportunities to unit optimization at off-design modes. The common approach to predict the off-design performance of gas turbine unit is the mapping of the compressor and the turbine separately and the consequent matching of common operation points. However, the above-mentioned approach might be rather inaccurate if the unit has some secondary flows. In this article an alternative approach for predicting off-design performance without using component maps is presented. Here the off-design performance is done by direct calculation of the components performances. On each off-design mode, the recalculation of the characteristic of all scheme components, including a compressor, gas turbine, combustor, recuperator and secondary flow system is performed. The different approaches for obtaining the performance at off-design modes considering the peculiarities of the gas turbine engine are presented in this paper.
