Abstract:
<p>Currently, in power plants, the application of the extinction coil in high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point is less experienced. A research done on nuclear power plant and conventional fossil fuel power plant proved that using an auxiliary power system’s different characteristics was leading to different demands of the grounding modes. Thus, this research was done by selecting the grounding mode of high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point on the main nuclear power plants and the partial fossil fuel power plants together with the calculation of practical engineering, and optimal design schemes. The high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point grounding modes have been induced in the large-scale into the nuclear power plant and the conventional fossil fuel power plant. Methods in determining the neutral point grounding modes are used by analyzing the principles commonly used grounding modes and requirements of related codes. First, choose the suitable grounding mode according to the calculation result of capacitive current. Then, choose more conducive grounding mode to the operation of power plant according to the operation of technology equipment. The power is required from the configuration, connection of auxiliary power and the cut from the accident of auxiliary power. As some power plants which are under-construction will be putting into operation one after another, the whole set of perfect security arrangements and operating experiences will also be accumulated inevitably. As a conclusion, high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point grounding modes directly affect the running of the auxiliary power system and even affect the security of the nuclear safety and the operation of the power plant. I hope this article can play a role for reference on the selection of the auxiliary power system grounding modes.</p>

Abstract:
Most domestic fossil power plants have exceeded 100,000hours of operation with the severe operating condition. Also, cyclic operation of the plant subjects the piping system to mechanical and thermal fatigue mechanisms and poor of defective support assemblies can impose massive loads onto the piping system and induce unstable piping displacement. In order to prevent the serious damage and failure of the piping system in fossil power plants, 3-dimensional displacement measurement system was developed for the on-line monitoring. Displacement measurement system was developed with LVDT and rotary encoder type sensors. This system was installed and operated on a real power plant successfully.

Abstract:
Sufficient energy supply is a fundamental necessity for the stimulation of socio-economic advancement. However, the current rapid rise in urbanisation has resulted in the significant increase in energy demands. Consequently, the current conventional energy supply systems are facing numerous challenges in meeting the world's growing demand for energy sustainably. Thus, there is an urgent and compelling need to develop innovative, more effective ways to integrate sustainable renewable energy solutions into the already existing systems or better yet, create new systems that all together make use of renewable energy. This research aims to investigate and establish the optimum working conditions of a feedwater heater and geothermal preheater in a power plant that makes use of both renewable and non-renewable energy resources, where renewable energy (geothermal energy) is used to boost the power output in an environmentally sustainable way. Henceforth, a simplified model of a Rankine cycle with single reheat and regeneration and another model with a geothermal preheater substituting the low-pressure feedwater heater were designed. The Engineering Equations Solver (EES) software was used to perform an analysis of the thermodynamic performance of the two models designed. The models were used to analyse the energetic and exergetic effects of replacing a low-pressure feedwater heater with a geothermal preheater sourcing heat from a low temperature geothermal resource (temperature generally < 150°C). The results of this research work reveal that the replacement of the low-pressure feedwater heater with a geothermal preheater increases the power generated since less heat is bled from the low-pressure turbine (allowing more heat energy from the steam to be converted into mechanical energy in the turbine). Applying the principle of the Second Law of thermodynamics analysis, the Number of Entropy Generation Units (EGU) and Entropy Generation Minimisation (EGM) analysis were employed to optimise the designed hybrid system. The feedwater heaters and geothermal preheater were modelled as counter-flow heat exchangers and a downhole co-axial heat exchanger, respectively. The feedwater heaters were optimised by means of the method of Number of Entropy Generation Units whereas the geothermal preheater was optimised by means of the Entropy Generation Minimisation analysis method. Owing to the optimisation of these components, the operating conditions of the boiler and turbines were secondarily improved. Overall, this research emphasises the impact renewable energy has on major power plant systems that are in operation and run on non-renewables.

Abstract:
Major changes are taking place in the Sweden’s electricity system and steel industry. Through political agreements, the current government has set national goals of 100% renewable electricity generation and a net zero GHG emissions industry by 2040. This will be achieved by increasing renewable power generation, mainly wind power. In the steel industry, the steel manufacturing groups are beginning to transition to an electricity-based steel manufacturing processes to reduce their GHG emissions. The Swedish steel manufacturing group SSAB and the mining group LKAB, together with Vattenfall, are developing an alternative steel production process free from fossil-based sources. It is called HYBRIT, an alternative technique to reduce iron ore with hydrogen gas, instead of coal which is used today. By producing hydrogen with electrolysis, applying hydrogen reduction technology, and replacing coal powered blast furnaces with electrified arc furnaces for melting the steel, it is possible to create a green and environmentally friendly steel industry. This technique was simulated in a computer model where electricity flows and system component capacity requirements were calculated. The simulation was made of an existing steel manufacturing plant in Oxelösund. A hypothetical case was made where the plant has a fully incorporated HYBRIT steel production chain. Its main power source was a nearby offshore wind power farm which is a planned project by Svea Vind Offshore. Previous studies have simulated HYBRIT steel manufacturing in computer models. However, no similar studies have been made on how these systems operate with variable availability of renewable power. From two studied wind power farm layouts, the results found a relationship between the needed electrolysis capacity as a function of the concentration recycled steel used in the process and the yearly steel production demand. Using the stated goal of SSAB where they use 50% recycled steel as a reference, it was calculated that 286 – 309 MW electrolysis unitsis needed for a yearly steel production of 1.6 million tonnes.
Det sker stora förändringar inom Sveriges elkraftsystem och stålindustri. Den nuvarande regeringen har genom politiska överenskommelser satt nationella mål på 100% förnybar elproduktion, och nollnetto GHG utsläpp inom industrin, tills 2040. Det ska nås genom att öka förnyelsebar elproduktion, huvudsakligen vindkraft. I stålindustrin har ståltillverkningskoncernerna börjat övergå till en elektrifierad ståltillverkningsprocess för att minska utsläppen. Den svenska stålkoncernen SSAB, och gruvdriftskoncernen LKAB, tillsammans med Vattenfall utvecklar en alternativ ståltillverkningsprocess som är fri från fossila källor. Det heter HYBRIT, och är en alternativ metod för att reducera järnmalm med vätgas, i stället för kol som används idag. Genom att producera vätgas med elektrolys, installera vätgasreduktionsteknik, och ersätta de koldrivna masugnarna med eldrivna ljusbågsugnar för att smälta stålet, är det möjligt att skapa en grön och miljövänlig stålindustri. Denna teknik simulerades i en datormodell där elektricitetsflöden och begränsningarna på kapaciteten på systemkomponenterna beräknades. Simuleringen gjordes på ett existerande stålverk i Oxelösund. Ett hypotetiskt fall sattes upp där verket har inkorporerat hela HYBRIT stålproduktionskedjan. Den huvudsakliga kraftkällan var en närliggande havsbaserad vindkraftspark som är ett föreslagit projekt av Svea Vind Offshore. Tidigare studier har simulerat ståltillverkning med HYBRIT teknik i datamodeller. Men, det finns ingen liknade studie som har studerat hur dessa system fungerar med en varierande tillgänglighet på förnyelsebar effekt. Utifrån två studerade vindkraftsparkdesigner blev resultatet en relation mellan den behövda elektrolyskapaciteten som en funktion av andelen återvunnet stål i processen samt det årliga stålproduktionsbehovet. Genom att använda SSAB:s framtida mål där de använder 50% återvunnet stål som referens, beräknades det att 286 – 309 MW elektrolysenheter behövs för en årlig produktion på 1.6 millioner ton stål.

Abstract:
The South African electricity mix is highly dependent on subcritical coal-fired power stations. The average thermal efficiency of these power plants is low. Traditional methods to increase the thermal efficiency of the cycle have been widely studied and implemented. However, utilising the waste heat at the condenser, which accounts for the biggest heat loss in the cycle, presents a large potential to increase the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Several methods can be implemented for the recovery and utilisation of low-grade waste heat. This theoretical study focuses on replacing the traditional condenser in a fossil fuel power station with a boiling condenser (BC), which operates in a similar manner to the core of a boiling water reactor at a nuclear power plant (Sharifpur, 2007). The system was theoretically tested at the Komati Power Station, South Africa's oldest power station. The power station presented an average low-grade waste heat source. The BC cycle was theoretically tested with several working fluids and numerous different configurations. Several of the theoretical configurations indicated increased thermal efficiency of the cycle. The BC cycle configurations were also tested in two theoretical scenarios. Thirty configurations and 103 working fluids were tested in these configurations. The configuration that indicated the highest increase in thermal efficiency was the BC cycle with regeneration (three regenerative heat exchangers) from the BC turbine. A 2.4% increase in thermal efficiency was obtained for the mentioned theoretical implementation of this configuration. The working fluid tested in this configuration was ethanol. This configuration also indicated a 7.6 MW generating capacity. The increased thermal efficiency of the power station presents benefits not only in increasing the available capacity on South Africa's strained grid, but also environmental benefits. The mentioned reduction of 7.6 MW in heat released into the atmosphere also indicated a direct environmental benefit. The increase in thermal efficiency could also reduce CO2 emissions released annually in tons per MW by 5.74%. The high-level economic analysis conducted, based on the theoretically implemented BC cycle with the highest increase in thermal efficiency, resulted in a possible saving of R46 million per annum. This translated to a saving of R19.2 million per annum for each percentage increase in thermal efficiency brought about by the BC cycle. The theoretical implementation of the BC, with regeneration (three regenerative heat exchangers) from the BC turbine and ethanol as a working fluid, not only indicated an increase in thermal efficiency, but also significant economic and environmental benefits.

Abstract:
The life span of high temperature power plant pipework is principally a function of material creep damage - an irreversible plastic deformation of the material when subjected to temperatures and loads beyond a certain threshold. Within Eskom, the South African parastatal power utility, creep damage is primarily quantified by way of Metallographic Replication (replicas). This is a quasi NonDestructive Examination (NDE) technique that looks at the microstructure of the sample in question. Although well-known and used extensively, replicas, as with any technology, have their shortcomings. Extracting of replicas and their subsequent analysis are manual processes that inherently suffer from subjectivity. Furthermore, storage and archiving of vast quantities of physical replica slides for future reference is cumbersome - a challenge that digitisation can address. The aforementioned vulnerability to analysis subjectivity and benefits of digitisation are areas which a technology known as Digital Image Correlation (DIC) - a non-contact, full field, deformation measurement technique - can potentially address. Some research has been done on using DIC for power plant creep measurement; however literature quantifying its performance in this specific application is scarce. This study thus looks into setting up a DIC system optimised for measuring strain in an area of the pipework welds known as the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) - the weakest part of the weldment. The achievable accuracy is established and the major parameters that affect DIC accuracy are investigated, elucidating the trade-offs between optimising each. In addition, two scenarios exist for the acquisition of DIC measurement data from a plant: when the plant is operating (online); or when the plant is shut down for maintenance (offline). The encumbrance of imaging a hot surface makes the former scenario the more demanding, and was thus investigated. This data was subsequently used to substantiate whether DIC has the potential to be used online (i.e. at elevated temperatures) or is limited to use during shut downs.

Abstract:
The main objective of this research is to develop a simple and cost effective separation method that captures carbon dioxide from power plant flue gas, as a pure stream that can be stored using regenerable dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) as the sorbent. The developed dolomite sorbent was evaluated for carbon dioxide capture capacity using muti-cycle tests of cyclical carbonation/calcination experiments in the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) model SDT 600. The variables controlled in the experiment were weight of calcium oxide and sintering time of the sample. The dolomite materials investigated were from two sources Alfa Aesar and Specialty Minerals. The prepared sorbent, after conditioning, is in the oxide form and can adsorb CO2 to form the carbonate and be regenerated back to the oxide. The results showed that the dolomite sorbent developed can be used for reversible CO2 capture. The data from 8 multi-cycle TGA experiments show that the reversible capacity reduced in the first few cycles; however it stabilized to an average value of 34 percent after an average of 10 cycles and an average conditioning time of 15 hours. Data from two multi-cycle TGA experiments show that the dolomite sorbent is capable of an average stabilized conversion of 65% in an average of 13 cycles at a conditioning time of 87 hours.

Abstract:
Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the effects of some mainstream policy schemes in the power sector on the reduction of CO2 emissions. The first part of this chapter is the analysis on the effects of promoting generation (fuel) efficiency of fossil-fuel power generation, specifically assuming more efficient coal-fired power plants that recently indicates increased presence in the Japanese power sector. Improvement in generation efficiency of fossil-fuel power plants is expected to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide mainly from a technological aspect. However, overall effects on carbon reduction in the whole industry would be ambiguous since it also depends on market structure. The increased efficiency in generation leads to an improvement in cost conditions of fossil-fuel power producers relative to their rivals. It enables them to expand their generation and market share. Analyzing the Cournot oligopoly model, it is shown that an improvement in fossil-fuel power generations produces two effects: the ‘saving effect’ and the ‘rebound effect’. The total CO2 emission in the whole industry decrease if the former effect exceeds the other, and vice versa. In addition, it is indicated that a rise in the generation efficiency would increase a difficulty of implementing carbon tax. In the second part of this chapter, I study the combination of feed-in tariff and carbon tax; that would be worthy to investigate since they could possibly complement each other. FIT policy could be financed by the revenue of carbon tax, and a reduction in electricity supply by the carbon tax would be lessen by supporting renewable power generations under FIT. It is demonstrated that FIT had the combined effects: it fosters a competitive environment in addition to indirectly reduces CO2 emissions. The result indicates that the combination of these policies would produce potential welfare gains.

Full text
Abstract:
Bull Run Unit 1, rated at 950 MW, is the first of four fossil supercritical power plants at TVA; the unit went into commercial operation in 1967. The boiler, built by Combustion Engineering (CE), has a radiant reheat twin divided furnace with tangential-fired burners for burning coal. The unit’s maximum continuous rating (MCR) is 6,400,000 lbs/hr of main steam flow, with a design temperature of 1003°F and pressure of 3840 psig. Through the end of November 2003, the unit had a total of 589 cumulative starts and 253,343 operating hours. In 1986 TVA located and repaired extensive cracking in the mixing link headers (27 of 32 saddle welds cracked) downstream of the superheater outlet headers. Visible sag was also noted at the mid-span of the mixing headers. Since that time through 2003, additional cracking of girth welds in the mixing link headers was discovered, followed by cracking in the main piping girth welds at the connections to the mixing headers and at one of the connections to the turbine. From 1988 through 2003 several elastic analyses which were performed were unable to explain the observed girth weld cracking and sagging in the piping. In October 2003, TVA contracted with Structural Integrity Associates (SI) and BW Roberts Engineering Consulting to perform elastic and creep analyses of the Bull Run main steam piping system to determine the most likely contributing factors to noticeable creep sagging and cracking problems in the mixing header link piping and main steam piping girth welds, and, to develop recommendations to mitigate additional cracking and creep/sagging. The evaluations concluded that improper hanger sizing along with longer-term hanger operational problems (non-ideal loads/travel, topped/bottomed out hangers) contributed to the observable creep sagging and girth weld cracking. The elastic and creep piping analyses performed to address these issues are described in this paper.

Abstract:
Increased competition and consolidation of plant ownership have created a need for power companies to leverage technological advances and tools as they attempt to maximize generating asset value by doing more efficiently with less. Legacy-based, labor-intensive systems are being supplanted with automated, standardized systems for fleet-wide data collection, analysis, diagnostics and reporting. Focus is also shifting from monitoring the performance/condition of individual plants and components to entire fleets for maximum economic benefit. Today’s virtual environment allows an enterprise to monitor in real time the performance and health of individual plants as well as an entire fleet for continuous learning and to sustain optimum performance. This paper provides an overview of performance/condition monitoring and optimization for fossil power plants. It examines performance and condition monitoring models, their capabilities and benefits in analyzing plant issues and, some of the results that might be achieved. It discusses the key features and benefits of on-line monitoring systems and provides examples of key performance/condition data, parameters and indicators to monitor and diagnose operation, performance, health, economics, integrity, reliability and environmental issues. The paper also examines current performance/condition monitoring initiatives in the power industry.

Abstract:
Increased renewable generation on the grid along with market deregulation has resulted in a significant increase in the cycling of coal and gas-fired power plant. This increase in cycling will result in increased wear-and-tear costs for units that were not traditionally designed for cycling. Asset owners can make operational changes to mitigate the wear-and-tear impact or alternatively retrofit existing units for improved flexibility. With retrofits, these plants can provide increased operational flexibility, or in other words cycle more, but this comes at an initial cost. On the other hand, increased flexibility in terms of faster starts, better turndowns and ramp rates also provides opportunity for the asset owners to recover their costs in the market. This paper evaluates the operational, as well as cost-benefit of retrofitting power plants for flexibility using a portfolio of generation resources in North America.

Abstract:
The current economic climate and energy policies are forcing significant change on the bulk of the US power generation fleet. Specifically, the rapid increase in renewable power generation and in environmental requirements will have a direct impact on the conventional fossil-fuel fired power plants. The likely outcome will be the shuttering of smaller coal generating units, older boilers, and units where environmental-related capital investment is not economically viable. Many of the surviving plants will face the addition of environmental-related equipment and a change in operation from base-loaded to more cyclical duty. While some coal plants will continue to operate as base-load generation due to the specific energy market served, it is forecast that much of the US coal fleet will in some way be required to balance the intermittent and variable production characteristics of renewable generation when those sources (wind, solar, hydro) are not available. As the renewable portfolio standards are currently estimated to range from 15–33% (1) of a utilities annual generation, this balancing role is critical to match the electricity demands of the US market. The resultant increase in cycling of the existing fossil fleet that will occur when this balancing occurs is expected to have extremely deleterious effects on the fleet of aging plants. Specifically, the impact will be felt in the areas of serviceability of the critical systems, emissions of fossil plants, and operational efficiencies. This paper is intended to identify some of the major issues that are expected to occur to the existing conventional fossil-fuel fleet as the renewable generation increases. These issues include the degradation in serviceability and reliability in light of increased cyclic operation, reductions in plant thermal efficiency, and impact on plant emissions.

Full text
Abstract:
Bull Run Unit 1, rated at 950 MW, is the first of four fossil supercritical power plants at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The unit went into commercial operation in 1967. The boiler (consists of two furnaces) built by Combustion Engineering (CE) has a radiant reheat twin divided furnace with tangential-fired coal burners. The unit’s maximum continuous rating (MCR) is 6,400,000 lbs/hr of main steam flow, with a design temperature of 1003°F and pressure of 3840 psig. Through the end of 2008, the unit had a total of approximately 670 cumulative starts and 333,185 operating hours. After years of numerous tube cracks at the Superheat Pendant Outlet Header/Tube Nozzles resulting in repetitive forced plant shutdowns, TVA decided to replace the two Outlet Headers (one for each furnace) in Fall 2008 during a reliability outage. Since the entire Main Steam piping system was installed with cold pull at almost every longitudinal pipe segment, the main challenge from the engineering mechanics point of view was how to restrain the piping system especially at the Crossover Outlet Links inside each furnace Penthouse. Further constructability reviews indicated that there were not enough adjacent steel frames inside each furnace to restrain the four Crossover Outlet Links in the three global directions during the Outlet Headers replacement inside each Penthouse. The only existing steel above the Crossover Outlet Links is embedded in asbestos insulation, and the removal of the insulation to provide access for the temporary restraints was determined to be costly and time consuming. The insulation removal would have also caused the scheduled outage to be extended significantly and unrealistically. After careful assessment, technical evaluation, and several constructability reviews; it was decided to take an unconventional approach for relieving the inherent cold pull in three global directions by cutting the four Mixing Headers outside each furnace. In addition, the concept of installing several temporary restraints was utilized for the vertical and lateral directions inside the furnace Penthouse, as well as several others outside the Boiler to control the piping configuration of the four Mixing Headers. This approach achieved two purposes: 1- relieving the inherent cold pulls in three global directions and 2- controlling the four Outlet Links pipe end positions with respect to the new Superheat Pendant Outlet Header nozzles. This unconventional method used to relieve the piping cold pull from outside the Boilers, to control the Outlet Links movements inside the Boiler Penthouses, and to restrain the entire Main Steam piping system was successfully developed and implemented in the Fall 2008 reliability outage to replace the two Superheat Pendant Outlet Headers. This unconventional method is described in this paper.
