Advanced power generation systems should fulfill the following essential criteria: high efficiency of energy conversion,economic viability and low environmental impact. It is obvious that an increase in the energy conversion efficiency of a thermal power plant entails a reduction in the plant fuel requirement per unit of power output as well as reduces the pollutant species emissions from the power plant per kilowatt-hour of the generated electrical energy.
