TL;DR: In this paper, a solar assisted combined cycle power plant with a solar collector and a steam generator is described, where the solar collector uses thermal energy of sunlight to turn supplied water to warm water, and a heat accumulator stores hot water derived from the solar collectors and the exhaust heat recovery steam generator.

TL;DR: The developed method was shown to be capable of optimizing the start-up process for GTCC power plants and found to converge near the Pareto-front representing the best trade-off between the fuel gas consumption of the gas turbine and thermal stress in the steam turbine rotor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a refuse bin consisting of a container for storing refuse, measuring means for measuring the amount of refuse in the container and transmitting means for transmitting information for the measured amount of waste via a communication line.

TL;DR: In this article, a controller for use in a gas turbine power plant includes a compressor that compresses combustion air, a water atomization cooling apparatus that sprays water drops of atomized water supplied via a water-atomization flow-rate regulating valve over a flow of air drawn in the compressor, a combustor that mixes the compressed combustion air with fuel to thereby burn a fuel-air mixture and generate combustion gas at high temperature and performs combustion switching during operation, a turbine that uses the combustion gas to drive the compressor and a generator.
