Journal Article
Olaleye, A. K., Wang, M., & Kelsall, G. (2015). Steady state simulation and exergy analysis of supercritical coal-fired power plant with CO₂ capture. Fuel, 151, 57-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2015.01.013

Integrating a power plant with CO₂ capture incurs serious efficiency and energy penalty due to use of energy for solvent regeneration in the capture process. Reducing the exergy destruction and losses associated with the power plant systems can impro...
