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.
The article presents the results of numerical studies and analysis of the feedwater regenerative heating operating modes depending on power unit capacity. The main parameters of this system are the enthalpy of the turbine steam extraction for heaters, as well as the steam consumption in these extractions. The dependences of the turbine unit steam flow rate and the change in expansion process of the steam turbine during the load regulation were investigated. The mathematical model of calculation the thermal power plant for a 300 MW power unit capacity was developed. Following on the results of the calculation conclusions of feed water regenerative heating operating modes at reduced loads of a turbine-generator for a 300 MW unit.
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.
