Abstract
Refuse-incineration power generation is one of the requirements for realizing a resource-recycling-type society in response to society's need for consideration of the global environment, as well as for preventing global warming. Co-generation is undertaken as one of the important technological pillars supporting reduction of CO_2 and the combined cycle waste to energy is one such measure. The power generating system installed at the Clean Energy Center, which has been completed recently, has had some important improvements introduced in its system compared with the practical applications of the combined cycle waste to energy. One of these features is the efficient use of a pair of gas-turbine power generators, which has been realized through efforts to enhance profitability. We report in this paper what points among the others features of the Clean Energy Center, differ from those of other existing power plants of the combined cycle waste to energy.
