Abstract

Freshwater generation is always one of the most important issues in human communities coincided with population increase in different areas, using water desalination technology can be one of the most effective and useful method in utilizing power plants heat recovery. Iran has a high potential to use this technology due to the shortage of fresh water resources on the one hand and several thermal power plants in the coastal areas of North and South on the other hand. In this study, exergy destruction rate in different components of the cycle and also the rate of profit and loss resulting from coupling desalination to Neka power plant were studied according to the project of Caspian Sea water transfer to the central plateau of Iran and the necessity of water desalination before transferring. Results showed that the maximum exergy destruction cost occurred in the thermo-compressor and then in condenser. also if the flow of low pressure turbine used in MED-TVC can product7215m3/day freshwater but this decrease in LP turbine flow, decreased 6.67% of the total power and 0.9 % thermal efficiency of a power plant.
