Why Choose a Gas Power Washer?
While buying a power washing system, many people wonder if they should invest in a gas pressure washer or not. All pressure washing systems have their own unique set of benefits, and gas power washing machines are no exception. For indoor cleaning tasks, electrical pressure washing systems are generally used. This is because they do not release any exhaust fumes, and are relatively less noisy. ...

Fast solution technique for unit commitment by particle swarm optimisation and genetic algorithm
In solving the Unit Commitment (UC) problem, two types of decision variables need to be determined: the start/shut down status and the output of power generation. Efficiently calculating the optimal commitment (on/off) and Economic Dispatch (ED) generations of the units at a sequence of times in the scheduling period is known as a challenge issue. In this paper, the proposed integrated PSO/GA ...

Flare Gas Power Pant, Majdan, Serbia - Case Study
The oil field at Majdan, Serbia had excess Assosiated Petroleum Gas (APG). Due to the low heating value and high CO2 content, this gas used to be flared. In 2016 RSE installed a fully containerized power plant with 5 units ENERGIN GEN G500 installed in three containers. The gas cleaning system to remove traces of siloxanes and H2S was also supplied by ...

Methane Number
Did you know that the methane number of a gas provides an indication of the knock tendency of a fuel? It is a product of the different constituent gases within the natural gas, particularly the proportions of methane, ethane, propane and butane. Understanding the knock resistance is important when specificing an engine for a gas-powered combined heat and power plant. Methane, which has a high ...

Understanding and improving energy conversion systems with the aid of exergy–based methods
Exergy–based methods are powerful tools for developing, evaluating and improving an energy conversion system. Conventional exergy–based analyses have limitations, which are significantly reduced by the so–called advanced analyses. The latter evaluate: (a) the interactions among components of the overall system, and (b) the real potential for improving a system component. The main objective of ...

A real options approach to investing in the first nuclear power plant under cost uncertainty: comparison with natural gas power plant for the Tunisian case
This paper uses a real options approach to present a method for evaluating the first Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) investment in Tunisia in 2020. The evaluating model integrates the value of real options: option to wait in the standard discount cash flow analysis. According to the IAEA (2007), starting the first stage of a nuclear power programme makes it possible to construct the first NPP in second ...

Energy and exergy analysis of a gas turbine power plant in Algeria
An exergy analysis of a twin ABB GT13E2 Gas Turbines (GTs) power plant (2 ? 146.2 MW) is presented in this paper. This plant is running since 2004 at F'Krina in the northeastern part of Algeria. The analysis was performed by the flow-sheet programme, 'Cycle-Tempo'. At off-design load (83%), the plant and its apparatus conserve nearly the same design load performances. However, the performance of ...
