Integrated Power Generating Systems
Abstract
In this chapter, the concept of system integration is introduced as a method of overcoming the deficiencies of power generation and cogeneration plants and making them capable of higher utilization of energy resources, better effectiveness, and better sustainability. Given that multiple design options coexist under the shelter of “system integration,” one must differentiate amongst several practices, for example, hybridizing, cascading, combining, and staging.
Multistaging refers to power production in stages, such as expansion in stages, designed optimally such that the system adapts better to its boundary conditions. Another case is cascading which refers to the integration of two power-generating ...
