Arya, Manoj: Parametric Study on Gas-Steam Combined Cycle Power Plant

Energy is the driving force of civilization. Energy in the form of Electricity is easy to produce,transport,use and control. At present, 70% of energy production in the world is from fossil fuels. Hydro-electric, nuclear power, Diesel engine and other energy resources such as solar energy, solar cells, geo-thermal, biomass etc. contribute only 30% of energy production. Since the deposits of fossil fuels are getting exhausted day by day, scientists and engineers are engaged in searching out new energy resources,especially non-conventional and renewable and developing energy converting devices for the new resources.
