The arriving optimum improvement of a thermodynamic system of energy conversion such
as a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is complicated due to the existence of different …

This review collates energy assessment data for the most common electricity generation
methods and evaluates five Energy Ratios. The considered ratios are Energy Return on …

In recent years metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been widely developed. These
algorithms are inspired from nature for solving complicated engineering problems. In this …

Insight into less-known aspects of sustainable development has been deepened through the
development of the nexus between water and energy in the last decades. However, the …

Nowadays, the scarcity of energy resources and the intensive demand of energy leads the
researchers and scientists to find the efficient ways to save the energy and decrease the …

Sažetak This paper presents an analysis and comparison of four steam turbines and their
cylinders from four different power plants (marine, conventional, ultra-supercritical and …

Sažetak This paper presents an exergy analysis of the whole turbine, turbine cylinders and
cylinder parts in four different operating regimes. Analyzed turbine operates in nuclear …

An innovative thermal energy storage (TES)-nuclear power plant (NPP) coupled system is
investigated. This system is intended to have a better ability to follow the grid demand. In this …

Exergy analysis is a practical approach to evaluate the merit of energy conversion or
distribution processes and systems. With the aid of an energy analysis, the performance of …

Small modular reactor power plants (SMR) plants are among the new nuclear technologies.
These plants are greatly safer due to the operational and technological differences …
