Comparative exergoeconomic assessment of coal-fired power plants – Binary Rankine cycle versus conventional steam cycle

Energy, 2018, vol. 142, issue C, 168-179

Abstract: This article describes an analysis of both a binary and a conventional Rankine cycle for a coal-fired power plant. The major question is whether it is possible to compensate the expected higher capital investment associated with additional components by a lower fuel consumption during the operation.
