Thermal and aerodynamic characteristics of air cooled condenserfor steam turbine power unit

THE PURPOSE. Increased water consumption at power plants leads to a deterioration of the environmental situation not only in countries with limited water supply sources, but also in countries with significant reserves of fresh water. There is a need to consider the possibility of using an air condenser as an alternative use in industrial water supply systems at a power plant. To present a methodology for calculating the main characteristics of a condenser (condensation and reflux sections), to estimate the aerodynamic resistance and fan power for an air-cooled condenser as part of a steam turbine power unit. Determine the influence of air temperature and pressure in the condenser on the calculation of the air condenser. To develop recommendations for the selection of parameters of air condensers operating as part of steam turbine power units. METHODS. Methods for designing heat exchangers, modeling and intensifying heat exchange processes were used in the course of calculating an air condenser unit. RESULTS. A method for calculating an air-cooled condenser for a 110 MW condensing turbine has been developed. The analysis of the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient is given. The analysis of the values of the heat exchange area of the condensing unit is presented. The effect of pressure in the condenser on the main calculated characteristics of the condenser is shown. Recommendations for the selection of the fan capacity in the condenser and the design temperature of the cooling air have been developed. CONCLUSION. The issue of using air coolers in the power industry is still poorly covered in the literature, however, environmental problems and the shortage of fresh water are becoming more and more urgent all over the world. The development of air-cooling systems is a very topical issue for modern power engineering. It is shown that for stationary installations of condensation of water vapor, the most suitable is the hipped-roof arrangement of the heat-exchange sections with the lower arrangement of the fans. Quantitative estimates of the change in the heat transfer coefficient and the area of the heat-exchange surface are given for the pressure range of 8…20 kPa. The power consumption of the fan depends significantly on the temperature of the cooling air and the vacuum in the condenser.

Specific Features of Operation of Distributed Generation Facilities Based on Gas Reciprocating Units in Internal Power Systems of Industrial Entities

The creation of a decentralized low-carbon energy infrastructure is the main trend in the development of the electric power industry in many countries. Distributed generation facilities (DGs) based on gas reciprocating units (GRUs) are often built by industrial entities for the efficient utilization of secondary energy resources in order to minimize the environmental impact. Modern GRUs have some advantages, but they have design features that should be factored in when connecting them to the internal power systems of industrial entities. Incorrect consideration of possible operating conditions of GRU in their design can lead to their damage, excessive shutdowns, and disruptions in power supply to essential power consumers with significant damage and losses from undersupply of their products. Excessive shutdowns of GRUs are often caused by a non-selective choice of settings for relay protection devices or by load surges that exceed the allowable ones. With high availability factors, GRUs are disconnected five to eight times more often compared to large gas turbine and steam turbine power units. The large total power consumed by electric motors, as part of the load of an industrial entity, determines the nature and parameters of electromechanical transient processes during emergency disturbances. The presented analysis of issues facing real DG facilities relies on the acts of investigation into the causes of accidents. Calculations have shown that the action of the “Load Agreement Module” in the GRU excitation controller can provoke the occurrence of a voltage avalanche in the internal power system with a complete shutdown of the load. The paper presents recommendations on the choice of control algorithms and voltage settings for the GRU excitation controller. Technical solutions are given to prevent damage and excessive shutdowns of GRU in various operating conditions of the system, and to help ensure a reliable power supply to power consumers. The change in approaches to the design of DG facilities is substantiated in the light of their significant differences from other electric power facilities.

Technological Solutions in the Field of Production and Use of Hydrogen Fuel to Increase the Thermal Efficiency of Steam Turbine TPPs

The paper discusses technological solutions in the field of production and use of hydrogen fuel, the combustion of which, in a steam-oxygen environment, can significantly increase the initial parameters of the steam turbine cycle and, thus, increase the thermal efficiency of traditional steam turbine thermal power plants. A study of technologies for the industrial production of hydrogen has been carried out. An analysis of the technical and economic features of hydrogen production technologies for use in the electric power industry showed that the most promising method is electrolysis, which makes it possible to obtain inexpensive hydrogen during hours of low demand for electricity or cogeneration of heat and electricity when electricity is a by-product. It is shown that in order to increase the power and efficiency of steam turbine TPPs, it is important to use external steam superheating from an external source of thermal energy, thus providing intermediate overheating of the working fluid by connecting an additional cycle with a higher equivalent initial temperature to the main steam turbine cycle. We have established that if we use hydrogen as a thermal energy source, the absolute efficiency of the steam turbine cycle can be increased up to 54%, taking into account the regenerative heating of feed water. In this case, at an overheating temperature equal to tnn = 760 °C, the absolute efficiency of the cycle is virtually equal to that of a CCGT unit operating at the initial gas temperature t0 = 1350 °C. At the same time, while maintaining the boiler performance, the rated capacity of the steam turbine power unit is increased by 12%. In addition, the study pays attention to the problem of increasing the power consumption of TPPs for the auxiliaries, as required to compress hydrogen and oxygen up to a pressure higher than that in the steam pipeline where the combustion chamber is installed. Our calculations have allowed us to conclude that, for the case of installing the combustion chamber in live steam, the share of additional power spent for auxiliaries should be 7%, whereas the main share of power is consumed for compressing hydrogen—94%. Despite the identified shortcomings, an economic analysis of the process of hydrogen production at TPP by electrolysis and its further use for intermediate overheating in steam turbines in order to increase their efficiency showed the effectiveness of this solution.

Using refrigeration machines and heat pumps in the cycle of steam generator in agricultural industry

Chillers are required at all plant-processing plants. Refrigeration can be obtained from energy industry facilities. Absorption chillers are the most reliable units for use in thermal power plant cycles. Such units usually work in conjunction with heating networks and cooling systems of steam turbine power units. For example, in a heated water cooling system after a steam turbine condenser, absorption chillers are already in use. At the same time, the authors of the article offer another application of such aggregates. Low-power steam turbines use air cooling and water-air heat exchangers. In this cooling system, an absorption chiller can be used to increase the efficiency of the thermal power plant. Such chillers are highly reliable, so they must work until the end of the payback period of new equipment.

The Effect of the Carbon Tax Value on the Optimal Parameters and Characteristics of Coal Power Plants

Abstract The paper investigates the effect of the carbon tax on the optimal parameters and indicators of two coal power plants: a steam turbine power unit with coal dust burning in a steam boiler and an internal gasification combined cycle power plant. Sufficiently detailed mathematical models have been developed for the considered plants that are focused on calculating the flow rates of working fluids and coolants and thermodynamic parameters at all points of the flowcharts, as well as the structural characteristics of the plant elements. The problems of optimizing the parameters of these plants related to the problems of nonlinear mathematical programming are formulated. As an efficiency criterion, the price of electricity is used at given value of the internal rate of return on investment. Optimization calculations were carried out with a carbon tax in the range from 0 $/t to 140 $/t in increments of 20 $/t. It is shown that with an increase in the charge for emissions, the optimal efficiency of the plants increases, as well as the specific investment. Specific CO2 emissions are reduced. Throughout the entire range of carbon tax values, IGCC power plant has the best economic and environmental indicators.

Evaluation of the efficiency of thermal power plants in variable modes taking into account equipment wear

A significant share of nuclear generation in total electricity production, an increase in the share of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, etc.), variable electricity consumption schedules and changes in electricity prices in the market necessitate the use of thermal power plants in load control mode. Using the method of calculating equivalent operating hours to account for the reduction of the service life of the main equipment, the efficiency of thermal power plants in variable modes was studied. The equivalent operating hours of the K-300-240 turbine and the prime cost of electricity of the steam turbine power unit were calculated when operating in the nominal and sliding steam pressure mode depending on the level of unloading and the rate of change of output power.

An Analysis of the Prospects for Coal-Fired Thermal Power Station Reconstruction on the Basis of Coal Gasification and a Combined-Cycle Unit

Modern trends in technical reequipment of coal-fired thermal power stations (TPS) are analyzed by the example of the Verkhnetagil’skaya District Power Station (GRES), where obsolete coal-fired power units requiring replacement were in operation. This problem is specific for many Russian thermal power stations. Two alternatives of reequipment are considered: replacement of obsolete steam-turbine power units with a natural gas-fired combined cycle unit (CCU) and conversion of coal-fired power units into integrated gasification combined-cycle units (IGCCU) with gas turbines operating on purified synthesis gas. Technical reequipment of the considered TPS was performed by replacing the coal-fired steam-turbine power units of phase I–II with a 420 MW CCU. The CCU core was a 288 MW Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbine. A CCU on its basis was modelled in the THERMOFLEX code. The calculated results demonstrated high power and environmental effectiveness in replacement of coal-fired power units at TPSs with natural gas-fired CCUs, thereby cutting down coal equivalent consumption by 727 000 t.c.e. (or 24%). For conversion of a TPS to an IGCCU, the fuel saving could be as great as 543 000 t.c.e./year (18%) under comparable conditions. In this case, the atmospheric emissions (of dust and SO2) could be decreased many times (by 99%) due to implementation of an effective gas treatment process in the gasification system. Due to the huge coal reserves in Russia, the conversion of coal-fired TPSs to modern technologies with coal gasification may be a promising alternative for many TPSs during their reconstruction. In addition, it will contribute to improving the country’s energy security. In addition, this will improve the country’s energy security.

Development and Investigation of a New Rotary Valve for Power Steam Turbines

Control valves are actuating elements of a steam turbine control system; the quality of their performance directly affects the reliability of the overall steam turbine unit. Accordingly, these valves must meet very stringent requirements. Among the factors and characteristics responsible for the quality of control valves, an important place is occupied by the design simplicity, manufacturability, serviceability, ease of installation, high operating reliability, low hydraulic resistance, low dynamic loads acting on the valve stem, and moderate noise level. At the same time, it should be noted that there is quite a large fleet of old, obsolete steam turbine power units at present in Russia with valves featuring both high hydraulic resistance and poor reliability. In new, linear control valves developed in the last decade, almost all design possibilities for their improvement have been exhausted. Hence, rotary control valves may be of great interest for practice. It is this type of valve that is considered below. This information includes a description of valve design, results from the investigation of flow parameters in the valve flow path, and the flow characteristic obtained by a mathematical simulation technique. This valve meets the above-mentioned requirements to the maximum extent, is fully balanced of axial thrust, has almost zero steam leakage along the drive stem, and is operated with low-power actuators with any bores and any initial steam pressures.

Effect of Engagement in Power and Frequency Control on the Service Life of Steam-Turbine Power Units

To assess the effect of engagement in power and frequency control on the level of wear of the steam-turbine power units, a method for calculating the remaining life based on the equivalent operation time is proposed. By using a power-generating unit equipped with the K-300-240 turbine as an example, a number of equivalent hours of turbine operation were calculated reflecting the engagement of the power unit in the rated primary frequency control and automated secondary power and frequency control. The effect of the loading rate of the steam-turbine power units, operating in the rated and sliding steam pressure modes, on the level of equipment wear within various ranges of power increase was studied.

An Approximate Model of Heat Treatment and Ignition of Coal in Small Cyclones

An approximate physical model of coal heat pretreatment with external heat input in a cyclone-type unit is presented and its governing principles are examined. The model makes it possible to predict the time of moisture release from the fuel (or evaporation), the temperature of gas suspension and of fuel combustion, and the composition and volume of the combustion products. This enables one to determine the design and layout of the furnace extension for various process conditions. The model is based on the following assumptions: the processes are quasi-stationary, the heat capacities and heat transfer coefficients are constant and determined at an average process temperature, coal particles are isothermal, the gas suspension is uniform, ash components are inert, and the flow is one-dimensional. In addition, the model includes only the reactions governing the combustion processes. By an example of Kansk-Achinsk coal’s heat treatment, it has been established that the yield of combustible volatiles can be 30–40% (by mass) at a gasification degree of 0.35–0.60. The time of solid phase ignition is approximately 0.8 s from the onset of the process. In all cases, the products of heat treatment of coals at different phases of metamorphism contain at least 25% of combustible volatiles, thereby securing ignition of the solid phase. Basic design features of a small-size furnace extension acting as a boiler burner for steam-turbine power units are determined.

Prospects of Application of Dual-Fuel Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Units

Dual-fuel combined cycle gas turbine units, including power units on the parallel scheme with predominant coal combustion are considered in the paper. The basic equations for determining the energy efficiency of dual-fuel combined-cycle power units are described. The interdependence of the efficiency of the gas turbine and steam turbine parts of the combined-cycle plant for the efficiency of the combined-cycle plant with a variable binary coefficient is presented.

Prospects for increasing the efficiency of heat and electric energy-generation and heat-and-power supply at thermal power plants obviously draw attention to such modern and innovative technologies as heat pumps. Heat pumps allow efficient redistribution of energy flows. The abundance of low-potential heat carriers and heat sources in the cycle arrangement of the thermal power plants operation requires modernization of production and increase of the fuel heat utilization factor, therefore, reduction of specific fuel consumption for the production of heat and electricity.

The economic effect is represented in quarterly cash savings of operating costs.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HEAT TRANSFER IN INTERFIN CHANNELS OF PUNCHED SPIRAL TUBE FINNING

To reduce the metal consumption of boilers of steam-turbine power units and waste-heat boilers of gas-steam turbine units, the spiral-tape finning of low-temperature convection heating surfaces is applied. However, the heat transfer in the bundles of such tubes has not been studied sufficiently, the influence of the geometric dimensions of the cut portion of the fins has not been experimentally investigated. In most heat exchange calculation methods, based on the generalization of the results of experimental studies, this influence is also not taken into account. It is proposed to take into account the influence of the finning geometry on heat transfer by introducing correction coefficients in the generalizing equations, determined from the results of a numerical research. To evaluate the validity of the introduction of the results of numerical research into generalizing equations, an experimental investigation of heat exchange in the interfin channels of the punched spiral finning of the tubes is carried out. A research method is developed based on the results of measurements of the surface temperatures of the fins and air in different zones of the interfin channel along its height, as well as the air temperature in front of the bundle and the air flow through the bundle. The study is carried out by placing the calorimeter tubes in the transverse rows of the chess and corridor bundles of tubes at different Reynolds numbers. The results of the investigation of one of the bundle. The calorimeter is installed in the fifth row of a six-row tube bundle with fin interval of Sf = 6 mm and tube steps in the bundle S1 = 85 mm, Ś2 = 85 mm. At the Reynolds number, Red = 10042: the heat flux in the interfin channels Q = 711.0 W, the same according to electrical measurements - 731.0 W; discrepancy - 2.73 %; the heat transfer coefficient in the blade zone is αifcb = 162.0 W/m2°C; discrepancy – 2.88 %. The average surface heat transfer coefficient in the interfin channel is ͞ αifc = 132.35 W/m2°C; by numerical calculation - 122.6; discrepancy is 7.31 %. The average surface heat transfer coefficient of a single transverse row of tubes, taking into account the flow of a part of the air through the intertubular channels, is ͞ αc = 83.05 W/m2°C; the discrepancy is 5.12 %. In the remaining experiments, the difference in the values of the heat transfer coefficients is 3.19 ... 15.7 %. The results of the investigation confirm the validity of the use of the results of numerical investigation in generalizing equations for calculating the heat transfer of bundles of tubes with a spiral finning

Thermodynamic analysis of engineering solutions aimed at raising the efficiency of integrated gasification combined cycle

Raising the efficiency and environmental friendliness of electric power generation from coal is the aim of numerous research groups today. The traditional approach based on the steam power cycle has reached its efficiency limit, prompted by materials development and maneuverability performance. The rival approach based on the combined cycle is also drawing nearer to its efficiency limit. However, there is a reserve for efficiency increase of the integrated gasification combined cycle, which has the energy efficiency at the level of modern steam-turbine power units. The limit of increase in efficiency is the efficiency of NGCC. One of the main problems of the IGCC is higher costs of receiving and preparing fuel gas for GTU. It would be reasonable to decrease the necessary amount of fuel gas in the power unit to minimize the costs. The effect can be reached by raising of the heat value of fuel gas, its heat content and the heat content of cycle air. On the example of the process flowsheet of the IGCC with a power of 500 MW, running on Kuznetsk bituminous coal, by means of software Thermoflex, the influence of the developed technical solutions on the efficiency of the power plant is considered. It is received that rise in steam-air blast temperature to 900°C leads to an increase in conversion efficiency up to 84.2%. An increase in temperature levels of fuel gas clean-up to 900°C leads to an increase in the IGCC efficiency gross/net by 3.42%. Cycle air heating reduces the need for fuel gas by 40% and raises the IGCC efficiency gross/net by 0.85-1.22%. The offered solutions for IGCC allow to exceed net efficiency of analogous plants by 1.8-2.3%.

Estimation of lifespan and economy parameters of steam-turbine power units in thermal power plants using varying regimes

The use of potent power units in thermal and nuclear power plants in order to regulate the loads results in intense wear of power generating equipment and reduction in cost efficiency of their operation. We review the methodology of a quantitative assessment of the lifespan and wear of steam-turbine power units and estimate the effect of various operation regimes upon their efficiency. To assess the power units’ equipment wear, we suggest using the concept of a turbine’s equivalent lifespan. We give calculation formulae and an example of calculation of the lifespan of a steam-turbine power unit for supercritical parameters of steam for different options of its loading. The equivalent lifespan exceeds the turbine’s assigned lifespan only provided daily shutdown of the power unit during the night off-peak time. We obtained the engineering and economical indices of the power unit operation for different loading regulation options in daily and weekly diagrams. We proved the change in the prime cost of electric power depending on the operation regimes and annual daily number of unloading (non-use) of the power unit’s installed capacity. According to the calculation results, the prime cost of electric power for the assumed initial data varies from 11.3 cents/(kW h) in the basic regime of power unit operation (with an equivalent operation time of 166700 hours) to 15.5 cents/(kW h) in the regime with night and holiday shutdowns. The reduction of using the installed capacity of power unit at varying regimes from 3.5 to 11.9 hours per day can increase the prime cost of energy from 4.2 to 37.4%. Furthermore, repair and maintenance costs grow by 4.5% and by 3 times, respectively, in comparison with the basic regime. These results indicate the need to create special maneuverable equipment for working in the varying section of the electric load diagram.
