Exergetic evaluation of a thermal station "Central'naya" and Vladivostok thermal station – 2

The article discusses the issue of increasing the efficiency of the main equipment of thermal power plants. Currently in power systems, different types of power plants are used. The projecting and choice of the power plant is performed mainly based on criterion of efficiency. The primary indicator is the thermic efficiency calculated traditionally by heat balance method. The current article proposes the use of exergy method of determining of energy efficiency, allowing performing relative (exergetic efficiency) and absolute evaluation of the degree of thermodynamic perfection of the system. The exergy losses in elements of the equipment were calculated on the example of a gas turbine installation. (paper)
