Abstract To meet the escalating electricity demand and rising fuel costs, along with notable losses in power transmission, exploring alternative solutions is imperative. Gas turbines demonstrate high efficiency under ideal International Organization for Standardization (ISO) conditions but face challenges during summer when ambient temperatures reach 40°C. To enhance performance, the proposal suggests cooling inlet air by 15°C using a vapor absorption chiller (VAC), utilizing residual exhaust gases from a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) to maximize power output. Additionally, diverting a portion of exhaust gases to drive an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) for supplementary power generation… More >
