Today’s business and operational requirements for thermal power plants are significantly more complex than ever before. Unstable fuel costs and demand for higher operational flexibility together with increasing environmental constraints are challenges for any thermal power plant project. Precise planning is essential for new or modified power plants.
A reliable heat balance model is a key factor for any successful combined-cycle power plant development project. At early project stages, it is necessary to determine whether and how the performance requirements can be achieved, and combined-cycle power plant design software is a critical tool. At later stages, a combined-cycle performance model is needed to identify operational limits and to determine optimum operating points.
IPSEpro is the ideal platform for creating heat balance and performance models for thermal power plants, including combined-cycle and cogeneration plants.
