Controlling the startup modes of cogeneration steam turbines operating as part of combined-Cycle power plants

Abstract

The results obtained from investigations of combined-cycle power plants produced by the Ural Turbine Works aimed at achieving high maneuverability, reliability and longevity of cogeneration steam tur- bines taking into consideration the possibilities of modern automated process control systems are presented. The dynamic models for simulating the heating of a steam turbine cylinder's parts with the use of limited computation capacities are developed. © Pleiades Publishing, Inc., 2012.
