Abstract

Comparative studies between single- and two-stage expansion process using LNG cold heat have been performed for a closed Rankine power generation cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Schneider Electric Company was used, and the Peng-Robinson equation of state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling and optimization of the power generation cycle using LNG cold heat. In two-stage power generation cycle, 6.7% more power was obtained compared to that of single-stage power generation cycle through the optimization works.
