摘要: Embodiments of systems and methods described in this disclosure are directed to operating a combined cycle power plant. In certain embodiments, systems and methods can be provided for a combined cycle power plant incorporating a control system that uses a holistic approach to continuously and automatically adjust a heat rate of the combined cycle power plant and achieve a desired efficiency. In accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure, the control system can be used to dynamically control various operations of the combined cycle power plant, including addressing of certain conflicting requirements such as avoiding generation of superheated steam in an attemperator while concurrently maintaining exhaust emissions within allowable regulatory limits and maintaining exhaust gas temperatures within allowable material capability limits. The use of such a control system allows for an increased turndown capability of the combined cycle power plant along with an improvement in a combined cycle heat rate of the combined cycle power plant.

摘要: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions that are executed by a processor of a monitoring that when executed, the processor receives a state of at least one operational parameter of the turbomachinery. Then, the processor determines whether the state is within a region of accuracy of a stored record of a stored state stored in the memory. When the state is within the region of accuracy, the processor determines at least one operating condition from the stored record. Alternatively, when the state is not within the first region of accuracy, the processor stores the state as a new record in the memory.

摘要: A method includes determining, via a processor, a commanded fluid flow rate of a fluid entering or exiting the drum of an industrial system, wherein the commanded fluid flow rate comprises a rate of fluid entering the drum of the industrial system, exiting the drum of the industrial system, or a combination thereof. The method additionally includes determining, via the processor, a measured flow rate of the fluid. The method further includes determining, via the processor, a variable multiplier based at least in part on the commanded fluid flow rate and the measured flow rate; and deriving, via the processor, a multiplied flow rate command for the industrial system by applying the variable multiplier to the commanded fluid flow rate.

摘要: A power plant includes a turbine having a plurality of turbine stages and an extraction port in fluid communication with one or more of the turbine stages. The extraction port provides a flow path for a stream of combustion gas to flow out of the turbine. An exhaust duct is disposed downstream from the turbine and receives exhaust gas from the turbine. The exhaust duct is fluid communication with the extraction port. A coolant injection system injects a coolant into the stream of combustion gas to provide cooled combustion gas to the exhaust duct. The cooled combustion gas flows into the exhaust duct at a temperature that is higher than a temperature of the exhaust gas, thereby increasing the temperature of the exhaust gas within the exhaust duct. The increase in thermal energy may be used to produce steam downstream from the exhaust duct.

摘要: To effectively reduce a situation in which an over-rotation of an expander occurs or the expander becomes a load on an engine at the time of a stop of a Rankine cycle in an exhaust heat recovery device provided with the Rankine cycle that recovers exhaust heat of an engine. A pressure difference ΔP between a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side of the Rankine cycle is obtained when the Rankine cycle is stopped (S1), a waiting time Ta is set (calculated) based on the obtained pressure difference ΔP (S2). Then, a bypass valve is opened to allow a refrigerant to circulate while bypassing the expander (S3), and then an electromagnetic clutch is disengaged when the waiting time Ta has elapsed to block transmission of power between the expander and the engine (S4, S5).
