A brief description of theoretical fundamentals of exergetic cost determination and its application are presented. The applied method of calculations is based on the rules of determination of cumulative exergy consumption. The additional possibilities ensured by the exergetic cost analysis in comparison to the direct exergy consumption analysis are discussed. The presented methodology was applied for the analysis of influence of operational parameters on exergetic cost indices of steam power plant. Results of calculations concern one of the modern Polish power plant unit. Basing on the obtained results several conclusions have been formulated that show advantages of application of exergetic cost analyses.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Exergetic cost of steam power plant operation}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/94217/PDF/03_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10173-011-0008-2}, keywords={Exergy, Exergetic cost, Power plant}, }
