Performance Analysis and Efficiency Improvement in 210 MW LMW Turbines at METTUR Thermal Power Station
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The performance of the turbine running to generate power desired to give an output of work done by the turbine to the heat supplied to the turbine. The efficiency of the turbine was decreased due to the drawbacks in the process cycle. The performance of the turbine and the component of thermal power plant is going to be studied and analyzed. The main parameters of the turbine are going to be calculated and the losses impact in the turbine was found. The Designed values are compared with the actual values and the initial conditions were suggested to increase the efficiency of the turbine. By calculating the enthalpy of steam flow rate at the inlet and outlet of every component, the solutions for increasing the efficiency such as increasing the steam flow temperature and pressure, by increasing the vacuum in the condenser is considered. This project discusses how to overcome these difficulties and to improve the efficiency of the turbine by determining some suggestions to generate more power and also to implement the resultant factors.
