Abstract:
In the present paper the scheme for increasing the energy efficiency of combined heat and power
plants (CHPP) using absorption heat transformers (AHT) is considered. The aim of the study is to increase
the energy and environmental efficiency of natural gas use in power supply systems by application steam
turbine plants and absorption heat transformers. The simulation of CHPP modernization and a harmful
emissions dispersion assessment were carried out using the following software tools: ISC Manager,
Thermoflex. All the calculations were made for one power unit of the CHPP in Moscow. Subsequently, the
obtained data on energy efficiency increase and harmful emissions reduction were multiplied on the whole
power system of Moscow, the main source of heat and electricity of which are the CHPP’s of PJSC
"Mosenergo".
