Energy and Exergy Analysis of a Steam Power Plant in Sudan

In this study, the energy and exergy analysis of Garri 4 power plant in Sudan is presented. The primary objective of this paper is to identify the major source of irreversibilities in the cycle. The equipment of the power plant has been analyzed individually. Values regarding heat loss and exergy destruction have been presented for each equipment. The results confirmed that the condenser was the main source for energy loss (about 67%), while exergy analysis revealed that the boiler contributed to the largest percentage of exergy destruction (about 84.36%) which can be reduced by preheating the inlet water to a sufficient temperature and controlling air to fuel ratio.
