Definitions
▪ Energy carrier: energy carriers are physical manifestations and substances from
which energy can be produced. A distinction is made between primary, secondary and
final energy sources.
▪ Primary energy sources: primary energy sources are the energy sources offered by
nature in their original form not yet treated. Their energy content is called primary
energy. The primary energy sources are divided into regenerative and non-
regenerative sources.
▪ Secondary energy sources: energy sources that originate from one or more
processing or conversion processes (e.g. drying, desulfurization, power generation).
▪ Final energy sources: final energy sources are understood to be all energy sources
used by the end user to cover the energy demand.
▪ Useful energy: only the energy that is available to the consumer after the last
conversion to meet all needs is called useful energy.
▪ Energy services: energy services are the needs satisfied or goods produced from the
use of useful energy and other production factors (e.g. pleasantly tempered rooms,
information, transport, etc.)

The Conversion of Primary Energy into Useful Energy
▪ 1st law of thermodynamics: energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only
change its appearance.
▪ Primary forms of energy (forms of energy existing in nature) can only be used directly
for technical needs to a small extent → Primary forms of energy must be converted into
useful forms of energy.
▪ Primary forms of energy:
– Chemical internal energy of fuels (e.g. biomass)
– Electromagnetic radiation energy of the sun in its direct form (solar radiation on the ground) and
indirect form (kinetic energy of wind, potential energy of water)
– Geothermal energy
– Kinetic and potential energy of the oceans caused by tides
▪ Forms of useful energy:
– Mechanical Energy
– Electrical energy
– Thermal internal energy of different heat carriers (space heat, hot water and other process heat
carriers)

Heat Engines
▪ Thermal power station or thermal power plant: the primary energy supplied is first converted into
thermal (internal) energy of an energy source and then transferred as heat to a thermal power
engine.
▪ Every power plant consists of two subsystems:
– Heat generator
– Heat engine
▪ There are three types of thermal power plants, differentiated by primary energy source:
Exhaust
Heat engine
Heat engine
Reactor Heat engine

Fuel

Energy Conversion in a Gas Power Plant
▪ Chemical energy of the natural gas is converted into thermal energy during combustion and this is
converted into mechanical energy (rotational energy) in the gas turbine. A part of the chemical
energy of the natural gas is also used to operate the compressor. The rotational energy of the gas
turbine is transmitted through a shaft to a generator, where it is converted into electrical energy.
▪ In contrast to steam power plants, in gas power plants the hot flue gas is used directly as a working
fluid.
▪ The air or flue gas is present as a homogeneous medium for all changes of state.

CCPP: Combined Cycle Power Plants
▪ The simplest way to improve the efficiency of a gas turbine plant is to combine it with a
downstream steam power process → Combines gas and steam power plants.
▪ In the combined cycle process, the exhaust gases from the gas turbine are passed through a
waste heat boiler (steam generator), in which superheated steam is generated for the steam
power process.
