Performance assessment of the novel coal-fired combined heat and power plant integrating with flexibility renovations

Congyu Wang et al.

Summary: The operational flexibility of coal-fired combined heat and power plants is crucial for accommodating high levels of renewable energy in the power grid. This study compares two renovations, high back-pressure (HBP) renovation and low-pressure turbine zero power output (LZPO) renovation, in terms of flexibility, energy, and exergy performance. The results show that LZPO renovation has more potential to improve the accommodation of renewable energy and energy efficiency, although it has higher exergy loss compared to HBP renovation. The new renovated plant also enhances the peak-shaving capacity and heating capacity, increases energy utilization efficiency, and reduces coal consumption for power generation.

Heat-power decoupling and energy saving of the CHP unit with heat pump based waste heat recovery system

Haichao Wang et al.

Summary: This paper proposes using an electric heat pump to decouple heat and power and save energy, and analyzes the heat-power decoupling and energy saving potential. The results indicate that the heat-power decoupling potential is greater when the heat pump DH ratio and heat demand increase, and increasing the coefficient of performance and heat pump DH ratio can enhance the energy saving effect.

Analysis of a New Super High Temperature Hybrid Absorption-Compression Heat Pump Cycle

Jian Sun et al.

Summary: The utilization of high-temperature energy in industrial production processes often leads to the waste of huge amounts of low-temperature waste heat. In order to improve energy efficiency, heat pumps are commonly used as waste heat recovery systems. However, traditional compression heat pumps have limitations in reaching high temperatures, and absorption heat pumps have low coefficient of performance (COP). To address these issues, a new compression-absorption hybrid heat pump cycle is proposed, which can achieve high temperatures and satisfactory COP.
