Simulation of CHP Energy Conversion System

Simulation of energy conversion systems is to increase resource utilisation efficiency (RUE) which in tern is dependent upon the maintained capability of individual components to use the fuel (natural gas in present case) efficiently. Therefore, an assemblage of mathematical equations of each and every component of a combined heat and power (CHP) is simulated in real time situation implemented in MATLAB computer programming tool software are to evaluate optimum cycle pressure ratio. RUE of steam turbine directly affected by steam turbine RUE. For the present analysis steam turbine RUE is varied from 80% to 95% and it is found that combined cycle RUE increases from 38.14% to 39.83%. For the present analysis combustion chamber RUE is varied from 80% to 95%. As the combustion chamber RUE will be increasing more enthalpy will be going to gas turbine and more heat will be transferred to HRSG. Due to which combined cycle RUE will be increasing. With increase in combustion chamber RUE by 15% there is an increase of combined cycle RUE by 6.6%.
