Abstract:This paper presents the influence of cooling water regulation on power plant net efficiency. It was examined whether, for the non-nominal low-pressure turbine load, it is justified to reduce the cooling water pump load, and how it would affect the unit net efficiency. Calculations for two types of power units were carried out: with condensing and extractioncondensing turbine. The tested condensing power plant consists of three surface condensers. The calculation included four condensers' connections set up on … Show more
