Abstract
Muara Tawar combined cycle power plant consists of three gas turbines, three heat recovery steam generators and one steam turbine. An update of gas turbine blades in 2016 effected on decreasing gas turbine flue gas temperature by 8°C up to 20°C. This study aims to analyse the effect of decreasing gas turbine flue gas temperature on output power of steam turbine. The output power of steam turbines is simulated by using Cycle-Tempo software, based on combined cycle heat balance. Variations of decreasing gas turbine flue gas temperature are configured on three gas turbines, two gas turbines and one gas turbine. The result shows that every 2°C decrease in flue gas temperature of three gas turbines will decrease output power of steam turbines by 0.787%. Whereas if decrease in flue gas temperature of two gas turbines and one gas turbine will decrease output power of steam turbine by 0.532% and 0.267% respectively. Meanwhile, the simulation results show that the decrease in the output power of the steam turbine after update of the gas turbine blades, 72.8% is caused by a decrease in gas turbine flue gas temperature and 27.2% by other factors.
