The article presents the results of the study of technical and economic parameters of power unit’s operation under reduced turbine generator loading, related to the night power dip and wear of power plant units. Changes in fuel consumption under reduced loading, change in power unit efficiency and change in main specific characteristics of the power unit were investigated. Conclusions on the 300 MW power unit’s operation modes under different turbo-generator loads were drawn based on the results of the calculations and investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
