Simulation Performance

For combined-cycle power plant performance analysis, a ship power plant mathematical model is developed, including diesel engine, controllable pitch propeller, exhaust gas boiler, turbine generator and shaft generator models. The simulation performance characteristic curves of diesel engine under various loads are given. Comparison of simulation results and experimental data shows the model can well predict the performance of diesel engine in various operating conditions. The specific fuel oil consumption contours of combined-cycle power plant and the relations between engine operating conditions and steam cycle parameters are given. The influence of diesel engine operating conditions to the overall performance of combined-cycle power plant is discussed.

The objective of this project was to develop a model of a combined-cycle power plant in Flownex which can be solved in off-design conditions in order to compare it to plant data. The verification of this model will show that Flownex can be used to effectively and efficiently model a combined-cycle power plant. The process of development of the final Flownex model was achieved using various additional software. Initially, an analytical model was developed in Mathcad (software used for engineering calculations). Thereafter, a model was built in Virtual Plant, a thermodynamic modelling software for assessing plant performance. Finally, the Flownex model was designed. For the single, double, and triple pressure combined-cycle power plant systems, the analytical, Virtual Plant and Flownex models were compared. The results of all the models agreed closely with one another. The triple-pressure design and off-design Virtual Plant and Flownex models were also compared to plant data and it was concluded that Flownex was successful in modelling the design and offdesign conditions of a combined-cycle power plant.

Integrated Gasification

The idea of a combined cycle power plant integrated with a coal gasification process has attracted broad interest in recent years. This interest is based on unique attributes of this concept which include potentially low pollutant emissions, low heat rate and competitive economics as compared to conventional steam plants with stack gas scrubbing. Results from a survey of technical literature containing performance and economic predictions have been compiled for comparison and evaluation of this new technique. These performance and economic results indicate good promise for near-term commercialization of an integrated gasification combined cycle power plant using current gas turbine firing temperatures. Also, these data show that advancements in turbine firing temperature are expected to provide sufficiently favorable economics for the concept to penetrate the market now held by conventional steam power plants.

Analysis Of Performance

In the paper, a comprehensive methodology for gas turbine health state determination is applied to a single-shaft Fiat Avio TG 20 gas turbine working in the cogenerative combined cycle power plant of Fiat – Mirafiori (Italy). In order to determine operating state variations from new and clean condition, the following procedures were applied to historical field measurements: • normalization procedure to determine the variations between measured and expected values; • inverse cycle technique to calculate the values of the characteristic parameters that are indices of the machine health state. The application of these techniques to long period operating data allowed measurement validation and the determination of the machine health state. The results showed the good capability of the developed techniques for the determination and the analysis of performance drop due to compressor fouling and to turbine malfunction.
