Abstract
Fuel consumption optimization in thermal power plants is one of the essential topics in the saving energy field in the world. Then; it is necessary to review and provide solutions to increase efficiency. The present manuscript has recovered the heat dissipation from power plant stacks. The Kalina cycle was studied to use exhaust gases to generate power in the Tarasht power plant. Net power output is calculated at about 2080 kW, which increases the total power production of the plant by about 5%. According to environmental analysis, this cycle will cause less damage to the environment due to lowering the temperature of the exhaust gases in the atmosphere and not using additional fossil fuels. Therefore; it is a good solution for using heat dissipation from power plants. The only thing to consider in this solution (based on economic analysis) is the high construction cost compared to other power plant units.
