Co-generation plant application in a specimen company

APPLICATION OF THE COGENERATION PLANTIN A SPECIMEN COMPANYÖner ENERMechanical Engineering, M. S. Thesis, 2006Thesis Supervisor: Prof. Ramazan KÖSE, PhD.SUMMARYCogeneration means, the producing electrical energy and usable thermal energysynchronously and in one system together. Or the other meaning is ?Combined Heat and PowerSystems?. In this technique, the main sources are; gas turbine?s or gas engine?s generator power,thermal energy of the engine cooler and thermal energy of the exhaust gas heat.The specimen company has made by Gural Brothers in Kütahya City in 1989 whatnamed Gural Porselen. The company includes five industrial factories and names are in order,GP-1 and GP-2 are producing porcelain table wares, Spray Drier is the plant what is producingrowmaterial, Serigrafi is the plant what is producing stickers for the plates and the last factory iscalled Vitrifiye what is pruducing sanitary wares.In this study, the measurements of thecompany?s energy consumption has been made for choosing the correct cogeneration plantcapacity. The measurements had been made by counter in transformer stations an hourly, adaily, weekly and monthly. At least of measurement has been given us a value of the capacity3 MW per hour approximately. The primary energy requirement is electrical energy andsecondary energy requirement is thermal energy for all of the factories. The offers had beenreceived from the companies who make cogeneration plants. Comparsion between gas engineand gas turbined cogeneration plants had been done.When the plant will have been finished, the target is getting of the electrical energy alsothermal energy productivity will be able to increase to the points 70-90% from the 30-40%points. As a conclusion, a reducing in the costs could be obtained.Keywords: Cogeneration, Energy, Gas Engine, Gas Turbine,
