Description The scope of these precept is to evaluate the feasibility for structural conversion of a power plant. The existing plant consists in a steam cycle electric power generation plant where the steam is provided by a boiler as represented in Figure 1. Figure 1: Existing plant scheme In the new solution (Figure 2), we manage to replace the boiler and its auxiliary devices with a gas cycle that produces electricity. The hot flue gases then enter the heat recovery steam…
