Abstract Renewable energy penetration is growing, due to the target of greenhouse-gas-emission reduction, even though fossil fuel-based technologies are still necessary in the current energy market scenario to provide reliable back-up power to stabilize the grid. Nevertheless, currently, an investment in such a kind of power plant might not be profitable enough, since some energy policies have led to a general decrease of both the average price of electricity and its variability; moreover, in several countries negative prices are reached on some sunny or windy days. Within this context, Combined Heat and Power systems appear not just as a fuel-efficient way to fulfill local thermal demand, but also as a sustainable way to maintain installed capacity able to support electricity grid reliability. Innovative solutions to increase both the efficiency and flexibility of those power plants, as well as careful evaluations of the economic context, are essential to ensure the sustainability of the economic investment in a fast-paced changing energy field. This study aims to evaluate the economic viability and environmental impact of an integrated solution of a cogenerative combined cycle gas turbine power plant with a flue gas condensing heat pump. Considering capital expenditure, heat demand, electricity price and its fluctuations during the whole system life, the sustainability of the investment is evaluated taking into account the uncertainties of economic scenarios and benchmarked against the integration of a cogenerative combined cycle gas turbine power plant with a Heat-Only Boiler.

Abstract Renewable energy penetration is growing, due to the target of greenhouse-gas-emission reduction, even though fossil fuel-based technologies are still necessary in the current energy market scenario to provide reliable back-up power to stabilize the grid. Nevertheless, currently, an investment in such a kind of power plant might not be profitable enough, since some energy policies have led to a general decrease of both the average single national price of electricity (PUN) and its variability; moreover, in several countries, negative prices are reached on some sunny or windy days. Within this context, combined heat and power (CHP) systems appear not just as a fuel-efficient way to fulfill local thermal demand but also as a sustainable way to maintain installed capacity able to support electricity grid reliability. Innovative solutions to increase both the efficiency and flexibility of those power plants, as well as careful evaluations of the economic context, are essential to ensure the sustainability of the economic investment in a fast-paced changing energy field. This study aims to evaluate the economic viability and environmental impact of an integrated solution of a cogenerative combined cycle gas turbine power plant with a flue gas condensing heat pump. Considering capital expenditure, heat demand, electricity price, and its fluctuations during the whole system life, the sustainability of the investment is evaluated taking into account the uncertainties of economic scenarios and benchmarked against the integration of a cogenerative combined cycle gas turbine power plant with a heat-only boiler (HOB).

The purpose of introducing a combined cycle with gas turbines in power plants is to reduce loss of energy. Their main role lies in the utilization of waste heat that may be found in exhaust gases from the gas turbine or at some other points of the process to produce additional electricity. The efficiency of the plant exceeds 50%, while the traditional steam turbine plants is approximately 35% ∼ 40% or so. To date, the PID controller has been used to operate under such systems, but since PID controller gain manually has to be tuned by trial and error procedures, getting optimal PID gains is very difficult manually without control design experience. We studied acquiring transfer function from operating data on the Gun-san gas turbine in Korea and a new 2-DOF PID controller tuning by ANFIS is designed for the optimum control of the Guns-san gas turbine’s variables. Since the shape of a membership function in the ANFIS vary on the characteristics of plant, ANFIS-based control is effective for plants whose variables vary. Its results are compared to the conventional 2-DOF PID controller and represents satisfactory response. We expect this method will be used for another process because it is studied using actual operating data.

Principles and characteristics of setpoint overshoot method are illustrated. The proposed method has been developed for PID controller tuning of an unidentified process using closed loop experiments. It requires one closed-loop step setpoint response experiment using a proportional only controller, and it mainly uses information about the first peak (overshoot) which is very easy to identify. It was applied in turbine of power plant to tune the PI parameters of load control. The application results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
