Description
Summary:The ongoing changes in the unified power system of Republic of Belarus require cost-efficient technical solutions to increase flexibility and reliability of electricity supply. Expected power generation mix and plant load factor of the newly constructed sources give limited possibilities of cost-efficient and reliable operation. The paper introduces the optimization of peaking and reserve energy source constructed newly at site of the existing power plant. Transferring the existing combined-cycle gas turbine into a dynamic district heating mode enhances the operational and financial flexibility of total system in a long-term prospective.
