| Course description | This course examines a number of areas of fossil power generation technologies linked with CCS and relevant industrial problems in a way that reflects developing industry practice and scientific understanding. Power plant performance with CCS will be analysed using generic thermodynamic modelling methods that can be applied by the students themselves to develop optimisation skills under real-market conditions. Results will be compared to real plant performance examples and also to commercial modelling approaches. Industrial inputs on all aspects of the course will be sought when relevant. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
&· Apply industry standard practice to evaluate fuel properties, understand their impacts on power plant emissions and emission control technologies to remediate their impact
&· Use the First Law and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
to analyse power plant systems with and without CO2 capture
&· Apply one-dimensional compressible flow theory to steam turbines and use Euler diagram for turbo-machines
&· Use standard modelling methods to evaluate power plant performance integrated to CCS systems
&· Understand power plant optimisation under electricity and carbon market conditions |
