System Modelling And Analysis Of A Cogeneration Cycle Power Plant Using Graph Theoretic Approach (original) (raw)

Unit electricity generation cost from an energy resource such as coal with the help of energy conversion systems such as cogeneration cycle power plant (CGCPP) is dependent upon many of the factors such as (a) system structure which is comprised of layout and design (b) system availability which is further dependent upon maintenance (c) power plant thermal efficiency and other regulatory aspects. These are the parameters which are affecting power plant performance. These are numerous in number and nature. For the complete analysis of cogeneration cycle power plant a multi attribute decision making (MADM) technique is required to study the effect of one parameter on the others. In the present analysis a combination of two mathematical tools graph theory and matrix method is used to develop a methodology to evaluate cogeneration cycle power plant performance. The maximum and minimum value of cogeneration cycle power plant performance index is calculated which indicates the range with in which it can vary. This range can be compared with real time value in order asses the relative performance of the system in real time situation.
