Abstract
This article presents a comparison of the economic, environmental, and energy performance of two 75 kW gas-fired and diesel-fired power plants. A series of performance tests have been conducted to register emission values at different operation points for both technologies. Additionally, a simulation model has been developed to evaluate the performance of both technologies under different operating scenarios based on the assumption that the plant will operate as a backup to a local distribution system. Initially, the model has been provided with theoretical information collected from different bibliographic sources. Subsequently, the model input data have been replaced from the results obtained in the measurement process. Finally, the results and the main conclusions identified during the development of the project are presented.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal on Energy Conversion (IRECON) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original theoretical and applied papers on all aspects regarding energy conversion. It is intended to be a cross disciplinary and internationally journal aimed at disseminating results of research on energy conversion. The topics to be covered include but are not limited to: generation of electrical energy for general industrial, commercial, public, and domestic consumption and electromechanical energy conversion for the use of electrical energy, renewable energy conversion, thermoelectricity, thermionic, photoelectric, thermal-photovoltaic, magneto-hydrodynamic, chemical, Brayton, Diesel, Rankine and combined cycles, and Stirling engines, hydrogen and other advanced fuel cells, all sources forms and storage and uses and all conversion phenomena of energy, static or dynamic conversion systems and processes and energy storage (for example solar, nuclear, fossil, geothermal, wind, hydro, and biomass, process heat, electrolysis, heating and cooling, electrical, mechanical and thermal storage units), energy efficiency and management, sustainable energy, heat pipes and capillary pumped loops, thermal management of spacecraft, space and terrestrial power systems, hydrogen production and storage, nuclear power, single and combined cycles, miniaturized energy conversion and power systems, fuel cells and advanced batteries, industrial, civil, automotive, airspace and naval applications on energy conversion. The Editorial policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers regarding different research areas so that the Journal will be useful to all interested scientific groups.
