Optimisation of feedwater heaters and geothermal preheater in fossil-geothermal hybrid power plant
… of a Rankine cycle with single reheat and regeneration and another model with a geothermal preheater substituting the low-pressure feedwater heater were designed. The Engineering Equations Solver (EES) software was used to perform an analysis of the thermodynamic performance of the two models …

Thermodynamic design optimisation of an open recuperative twin-shaft solar thermal Brayton cycle with combined or exclusive reheating and intercooling
… the components, thus minimising the cumulative entropy generation rate. The resulting optimal design is related to, and therefore characteristic of, the cycle configuration, since the entropy generation rates in the individual components are interdependent. In this work, optimal design of three …

Modelling and development of thermo-mechanical energy storage
… to obtain heat exchanger designs that minimise entropy generation for a given amount of material. These designs are used when estimating the costs of energy capacity and power capacity of each cycle. Results indicate that the best cycle configurations would be competitive with reported costs for …
