Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur, Durgapur-713 209, West Bengal, India Mejia Thermal Power Station, Damodar Valley Corporation, Mejia-722 183, Bankura, West Bengal, India E-mail: sujitkarmakar@yahoo.com <em>Manuscript received online 16 June 2020, revised and accepted 11 August 2020</em> A thermodynamic study is carried out on a 500MWe coal based supercritical thermal power plant (base plant) with MonoEthanolAmine (MEA) based CO₂ capture unit integrated with a Kalina Cycle (Low-grade energy cycle) setup for Combined Cooling and Power (CCP) generation using Indian High Ash (HA) coal as fuel, and the results are compared with an imported Low Ash (LA) coal. The modelling and simulation of the different plant configurations are done by using the simulation software "Cycle-Tempo". The base plant is integrated with the CO₂capture unit working on MEA based post combustion carb...
