Optimization of Deaerator Operating Pressure in a Dual-Pressure Combined Cycle Power Plant

Combined cycle power plants (CCPPs) around the world play a significant role in supplying electrical energy. Therefore, optimizing their performance is of great importance for sustainable development. Numerous parameters influence the performance of these types of power plants. In the present study, the effect of deaerator operating pressure under different ambient conditions, including average, maximum, and minimum site temperature, on power output and thermal efficiency of the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) is investigated. Ultimately, it is observed that optimizing the deaerator pressure under each ambient condition maximizes the steam turbine's power output.
