URS recently performed a combined cycle repowering study to determine the feasibility and economics of repowering an existing steam turbine that went into service in the 1950s. The competing option ...
It is well-known that a conventional boiler or heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and related steam turbine have innumerable pieces all working in conjunction to produce the end product of electric ...
Materials with corrosion resistance are needed. Alloy 740 (titanium, nickel, chromium, aluminum) loses abut 1 to 2 microns per year at 750C. The DOE announced October, 2016 that it was building a ...
Combined cycle plants, even those built with state-of-the-art technologies at the time of commissioning, drop in dispatch order with age. Aging plants suffer the adverse effects of performance ...
With the latest advancement of F, G, H, and JClass combustion turbines, combined-cycle designs are affected when compared to the previous generation of FClass and smaller machines. This article ...
The following parameters may be set on the Steam Cycle Performance parameter screen: •Steam Energy Added in Boiler: The heat content of the steam changes as it moves throughout the steam turbines, ...
