Abstract

Coal-fired generation units in China often operate under off-design loads. The off-design performance has important influence on operation energy consumption of generation units. An all-condition model is of critical importance for studying the off-design performance. In this paper, an all-condition simulation model of the steam turbine system for a 600 MW generation unit is built. Based on the actual system composition, the steam turbine system is divided into several sub equipment. A sub model is established for each device. In the turbine model, a parameter M is defined as the intermediate variable to calculate the extraction pressure of turbine. The operating data from a 600 MW generation unit are used to verify the all-condition model. The heater fouling conditions are also calculated. The result shows that the model successfully predicts the operation parameters under different loads and forecasts the thermal performance of typical equipment failure.
