International Journal of Exergy (IJEX), Vol. 11, No. 4, 2012

Abstract: Exergy-based methods are powerful tools for developing, evaluating and improving an energy conversion system. Conventional exergy-based analyses have limitations, which are significantly reduced by the so-called advanced analyses. The latter evaluate: (a) the interactions among components of the overall system, and (b) the real potential for improving a system component. The main objective of advanced exergy-based analyses is to provide additional information that is useful improving the design and operation of energy conversion systems. This paper deals with integrated conventional and advanced exergetic, exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental analyses. The advantages of these analyses are demonstrated using an academic example, an open-cycle gas turbine power system.
