Secondary steam models of a combined cycle power plant simulator

Abstract

In this paper, the general description of a full scope simulator for a combined cycle power plant is presented; the antecedents of this work are explained; the basis of the models of the auxiliary and turbine gland steam systems are exposed and some tests are reproduced in order to the demonstrate the validity of the models. The simulator reproduces the operational behaviour of the power plant 'Chihuahua' located in Chihuahua, Mexico.
