| Summary: | This study aims to determine the feasibility of using the MATLAB Simulink to model the performance of a typical incineration plant that houses a steam-generation unit for power generation. Commercially, the steam generation operation of typical Waste-to-Energy (WtE) incineration plant is derived from the basic Rankine cycle. Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic process, and the commercial steam generation process follows a more advanced and energy efficient form of Rankine cycle. The examples include the Organic Rankine cycle. The basis of this project is to attempt to model an ideal Rankine cycle of the incineration plant, and to determine the projected enthalpy at various stages of the process as well as to determine the eventual efficiency of the Rankine cycle. The attempted model was made to emulate a specific Rankine cycle, and it was able to predict the parameters and efficiency at steady stat |
