Abstract

Insufficient supply of electricity has necessitated research in renewable energy fields such natural gas power plants. Many diseases in society today are traced to greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere from many power plant operations. Boilers are the main components for electricity generation but they have high carbon footprint and provide insufficient steam to generate sufficient electricity. Natural gas power plant boilers was designed as a cost effective alternative to satisfying electricity demand and carbon footprint reduction. The boiler is used in power plant to produce high pressured steam and passes it into a turbine to power the generator to generate electricity. Three concepts were developed and rated with the one with highest score chosen. The model in this paper is novel since some features were added in this project.
