High-Temperature Turbine Technology Program: Phase II Final Report. Volume II. Plant System Performance Studies

摘要

The Department of Energy High-Temperature Turbine Technology (HTTT) Program is a three-phase program with the objective of developing a high-temperature gas turbine, for use in a combined cycle power plant operating on a coal-derived fuel, to a status of technology readiness. This report documents the results of the work performed for Phase II, the Technology Testing and Test Support Studies phase, of the HTTT Program. The specific objectives for Phase II, component design and technology testing in critical areas, system design and trade-off analysis in support of component design and test, and combined cycle plant update studies, are directly related to the results of the Phase I program, Program and System Definition documented in a DOE report (FE-1806-22) published in July 1977. The work reported in this document was initiated in August 1977, and includes comprehensive descriptions of the resulting high-temperature turbine component and system designs, test facilities and test hardware, technology testing and test results, and interpretation of the technology test results relative to component, subsystem, and system design performance and degree of technology readiness. Based on the success of the work accomplished during Phase II and reported in this document, the General Electric Company concludes that a confident commitment to a system verification test can now be made and is appropriate as the next step toward the accomplishment of the overall program objective. This volume reports plant performance studies with information on combined-cycle power plant design, controls analysis, failure mode analysis and simulation operation. (ERA citation 08:009733)
