Exergy analysis of a circulating fluidized bed power plant co-firing with olive pits: A case study of power plant in Turkey.

The effects of the above-mentioned parameters on exergy destruction, and CO 2 emission of the power plant are determined for circulating fluidized bed power plant co-firing. The aim of this study is to perform thermodynamic analysis on Çan Circulating Fluidized Bed Power Plant (CFBPP) co-fired with olive pits. The results of this study also show that the total exergy damage of the plant is about 295 MW and the net exergy yield is 31.26%. The majority (252.40 MW) of exergy destruction occurs in the main boiler and accounts for 86.05% of the total exergy breakdown of CFBPP through exergy analysis. The results show that CFBPP has an effective feature of biomass supplement for exergetic performance and CO 2 emissions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
