District Heating/Cogeneration Application Studies for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Area. Modfifications of the Existing Units at the High Bridge Power Plant to Cogeneration for Hot Water District Heating

摘要

The electrical generating turbines at the High Bridge Generating Station were evaluated for their suitability for conversion to cogeneration. This evaluation required examinations of the equipment, the operating reports, and the technical manuals and drawings. The evaluation also included discussions with the plant staff and with the major vendors of the operating equipment. Units 3, 5, and 6 were recommended for conversion to cogeneration-unit 3 to be converted to back-pressure operation and units 5 and 6 to be converted to condensing-tail operation. Unit 4 was not recommended for conversion. (ERA citation 05:038312)
