THE PURPOSE: The article presents the results of the development of a methodology for the design calculation of reliability and changes in the level of reliability of energy systems, taking into account the influence of control actions based on statistical methods of collection, analysis and models of experimental data processing.METHODS: The system analysis and generalization of experimental data on technological failures of the main equipment of thermal power plants were used in the calculation assessment.RESULTS: The objective function of controlling the reliability parameters of the thermal power plant power equipment is proposed. The approbation of the presented objective control function was performed, which showed the adequacy of the results obtained to assess the reliability of the main nodes and elements of the TPP power equipment.CONCLUSION: The results of the conducted studies show that when determining reliability indicators, it is necessary to take into account the actual technical condition of individual elements and resource-determining functional units of thermal power plant power equipment. The results obtained can be used to develop a methodology for evaluating control actions for calculating the output control parameters and a mathematical model for changing the output characteristics of TPP steam turbines in terms of heat and electric energy generation, as well as at the stage of developing design documentation for the creation of structural elements and practical recommendations in order to extend the service life of power equipment generating systems based on digital technologies.

The cold-end system of steam turbine is an important auxiliary system in thermal power plant, its operating mode has a direct impact on the output of the unit and auxiliary power. This paper uses an optimization analysis method to calculate the cold-end system of a 1000MW ultra-supercritical(USC) unit, and establishes a cold-end optimization system by using VB6.0 for a domestic ultra-supercritical unit, which provides an online guide for the operator by calculating the condenser. The results show that this system can provide some guidance for unit operation.


The thermal power station uses some amount of their generated power to be consumed by its auxiliary power requirements. The auxiliary power consumption in the country is around 8-9%. The auxiliary power consumption can be minimize by increasing the load factor, by operational optimization, applying advanced control techniques and energy efficient measures. By decreasing the auxiliary power extra power will be available at grid. Thus, the aim of the audit is to determine the potential areas for minimizing auxiliary power consumption by operational optimization and energy management policy to improve energy efficiency of auxiliaries. This study will give the basic understanding of energy management approach, energy efficiency and energy saving areas so as to achieve maximum plant efficiency resulting fuel saving. Boiler feed pump is one of the equipment in a power plant with the highest auxiliary consumption. The research is specifically targeted at the feed water system and its potential for obtaining considerable energy and cost savings.
