The objective of the paper is to assess the feasibility of the neural network (NN) approach in power plant process evaluations. A “feedforward” technique with a back propagation algorithm was applied to a gas turbine equipped with waste heat boiler and water heater. Data from physical or empirical simulators of plant components were used to train such a NN model. Results obtained using a conventional computing technique are compared with those of the direct method based on a NN approach. The NN simulator was able to perform calculations in a really short computing time with a high degree of accuracy, predicting various steady-state operating conditions on the basis of inputs that can be easily obtained with existing plant instrumentation. The optimization of NN parameters like number of hidden neurons, training sample size and learning rate is discussed in the paper.

The work is devoted to the development of a dynamic model of a waste heat boiler based on a recurrent neural network. The developed model can be used to create computer simulators for gas turbine plant operators, technologists and operating personnel. The object of modeling is presented as a complex thermodynamic system. The dynamic processes taking place inside the boiler are non-linear and interconnected. Changes in the technological parameters of the exhaust gases occur in ranges that do not allow to obtain an acceptable quality of the linearized model. Due of the difficulty of creating a mathematical description that takes into account the operation of the installation in different modes, recurrent neural networks were chosen to implement the simulation task. Based on the recurrent neural network, a dynamic model was synthesized that describes the change in the technological parameters of the waste heat boiler in the Power boost, Rated Load, Power reduction operating modes. The model output is the temperature of the network water behind the boiler. The created model takes into account the change in the water flow through the boiler, the change in the inlet water temperature, the increase and decrease in the temperature and pressure of the exhaust gas at the inlet of the waste heat boiler. In the formation of training and test samples for the neural network, archival trends obtained during the operation of the waste heat boiler were used. The article provides experimental data, a description of the stages of the synthesis of a neural network model, structural and graphic schemes, simulation results with explanations.

In order to improve the utilization rate of industrial waste heat and improve the fine design level of waste heat power station, this paper constructs the mathematical model of waste heat boiler and steam turbine, and puts forward the optimization design method of thermal system of waste heat power generation project. By using typical cases, it is proved that there is the optimal design pressure of HRSG, which makes the power generation of the system maximum, and provides a method to improve the power generation of HRSG.

The installation to be discussed in this paper was one of the first gas generator, power turbine, centrifugal compressor design combinations to be put in ground (as opposed to airplane) power applications. As a consequence the control systems, waste heat boiler installation and other parts of the facility proved to be other than adequate for continuous duty industrial plant use and as such, has gone through a subsequent development period to overcome the many problems that were encountered. This should be kept in mind as one reads the article. The present-day industrial gas generator units incorporate simplified and reliable control systems and other successful features as a result of this earlier experimental and prototype installation. Revisions to the Phillips Petroleum Company Dumas Helium Plant Pratt Whitney GG3C gas generator and related equipment have greatly increased onstream capabilities. Replacement of unreliable controls and electrical relays has decreased unwarranted shutdowns from 80 hr in 1963 to 8 hr in 1967. Improvements in lubricating oil have increased the time between oil changes from 300 to 3000 hr. Design changes in bearings, exhaust hood, and the lubricating oil system have increased the gas generator’s reliability. The Cooper-Bessemer RT-48 free power turbine has operated maintenance-free since startup. Cooper-Bessemer’s latest design has solved the reaction turbine hood stress cracking problem. Use of this type facility in helium plant service offers advantages, but lack of flexibility has caused a considerable amount of product loss at Dumas Helium Plant.
