Calculating Energy Requirements for HRSG in Hydrogen Power Plants

Click For Summary
To calculate the energy requirements for a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) in hydrogen power plants, it's essential to understand that HRSGs are designed to recover energy rather than consume a specific amount of power. The energy recovery depends on various parameters, including the efficiency of the system and the design of the cycle. Testing and simulations are crucial for accurate assessments, but initial research can provide useful insights. The discussion highlights the importance of foundational knowledge in power plant design for effective analysis. Understanding these concepts is vital for a comprehensive dissertation on hydrogen power plants.

Hi guys,

I’m a final-year student studying mechanical engineering. I’m doing my dissertation on hydrogen power plants.

I had a question….

How would I work out the energy needed to run a HRSG in my cycle.

I understand this depends on various parameters and needs testing and simulations but just needed a rough ball park.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This question doesn't make a lot of sense as asked. The HRSG is recovering energy, it's not a device that needs a specific amount of power to run, you size it to recover as much energy as you economically can.

Did you take your university's Power Plant Design course? This question at this level is a little disconcerting...
 

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
