Abstract
The tasks of thermal power plants (TPPs)modernization are to improve technical and environmental indicators, reduce the cost of energy, and take into account the requirements of international and Russian legislation. At the initial stage of modernization design, coordination of TPP indicators with specialists of various profiles and development of a general concept and structure of the station is necessary. In the traditional technical standards of the Russian Federation there are no documents regulating this process. To date, developed and adopted as national standards in a number of countries, including Russia, the IDEF methodology and family of standards, covering all stages and design aspects. This article discusses some aspects of the IDEF0 standard application at the initial stage of designing the TPPs modernization.
Highlights
Any technical objects in the process of operation become obsolete physically and mentally
Modernization of existing thermal power plants includes a number of stages: determination and analysis of thermal power plant problems, setting goals and tasks of modernization, studying the market of specialized technologies and equipment, preliminary preparation of alternative modernization projects, choosing a priority project [1], pre-project preparation of documentation and object of modernization, design, project implementation, testing and commissioning, operation of the upgraded TPP
One of the ways to solve these problems is the transformation of thermal power plant into an energy technology complex (ETC) in the process of modernization
Summary
Any technical objects in the process of operation become obsolete physically and mentally. Modernization of existing thermal power plants includes a number of stages: determination and analysis of thermal power plant problems, setting goals and tasks of modernization, studying the market of specialized technologies and equipment, preliminary preparation of alternative modernization projects, choosing a priority project [1], pre-project preparation of documentation and object of modernization, design (often understood as exclusively technical), project implementation, testing and commissioning, operation of the upgraded TPP. Design and operation of thermal power plants in Russia are standardized by a variety of regulatory and technical documents [3-8, etc.]. A number of aspects of the TPP life cycle, which must be agreed upon before the start of the technical design, are not covered by these documents. The IDEF methodology has an intuitive graphic language, which makes it possible to use it as a means of interprofessional communication, including when designing the modernization of thermal power plants in ETC [16]
