Abstract:
The invention relates to a single shaft combined cycle power plant having: a shaft on which is sequentially located, a gas turbine, a medium pressure steam turbine, a low pressure steam turbine, a generator, and a high pressure steam turbine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a groove cutting tool having: a body and a holder wherein the holder is slidably mounted in the body. The holder has a first end at which a blade is mounted and a second end, distal in a slidable direction of the holder, from the first end. A drive pinion, located towards the second end, is configured to be in rotational communication with the blade.
Abstract:
A high power electrical module comprising at least a first and a second electrical sub-module, at least a first bus bar that electrically connects together the first and the second electrical sub-module, and at least a first and a second heat sink on which are respectively mounted the first and the second electrical sub-module. The first and the second heat sink are arranged independently movable from each other in such manner to compensate the expansion of the first bus bar. The invention also relates on a voltage-source converter.
Abstract:
A method of retrofiting a multi-stage partial arc or admission steam turbine and a steam turbine obtainable by the method. The method comprises forming at least one inlet belt in the inner housing downstream of at least one the first blade rows of the steam turbine and forming a duct, connecting the first inlet line and the or each inlet belt. The duct and the inlet belt are adapted to enable a steam to pass through the first inlet line and bypass the first blade row of the steam turbine and the connection of the duct to the first inlet line is such that all steam flowing through the first inlet line passes through the duct.
Abstract:
An air flow control arrangement for a pulverizer includes an inner ring segment, an outer ring segment, a plurality of vanes, and a plurality of vanes. The inner and outer ring segments are adaptably configured in a spaced relation to each other. Further, the plurality of vanes is spaced apartly arranged between the inner and outer ring segments to form flow ducts. Furthermore, each wingtip of the plurality of wingtip is detachably attached to a respective vane of the plurality of vanes to be adaptably replaceable or changeable.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a control system for NOx reduction in a power plant, the control system comprising a model predictive controller; a proportional integral differential controller and/or an adaptive controller; where the proportional integral differential controller and/or an adaptive controller are subordinated to and in operative communication with the model predictive controller; where the proportional integral differential controller and/or an adaptive controller comprise a feedback loop; a NOx reduction system comprising a NOx reducing agent supply tank and a water supply tank; and a furnace for combusting a fuel; where the furnace lies downstream of the NOx reduction system and where the furnace is provided with a plurality of nozzles that are in fluid communication with the NOx reduction system; where the control system is in electrical communication with the NOx reduction system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sealing system for sealing between a first component and a second component wherein at least one or either the first component or the second component is a rotating component. The first component has a circumferential groove in which a sealing segment has first and fifth end portions adjacent the groove and second, third and fourth portions that form a U shape that mirrors the shape of and extends into the circumferential groove.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for operating a gas turbine (11) comprising a compressor (14), which is equipped with variable inlet guide vanes (13) and receives at its inlet an inlet air flow, which has passed a temperature-affecting air inlet system (12a), a combustor (15, 15′) and a turbine (16, 16′). In a closed loop control scheme, a control variable indicative of the turbine outlet temperature (TAT2) is generated, and the air inlet system (12a) and/or the variable inlet guide vanes (13) are controlled in accordance with said control variable such that the turbine outlet temperature (TAT2) is kept at or above a desired setting value (TAT2min).
Abstract:
A conveyor (10) for transporting powder from an inlet point (14) to at least one discharge point (20) comprises a fluidized bed transport space (12) and a fluidization gas supply space (16), the fluidized bed transport space (12) being separated from the fluidization gas supply space (16) by a gas permeable wall (18); a gas outlet (22) for removing fluidization gas from the transport duct (12); means (24) for separating dust from the removed fluidization gas; and means (26) for returning the separated dust to the powder proximate the discharge point (20). In a preferred embodiment, the separated fines dust is returned to, and homogenized into, the powder in a lower portion of a cyclone, which is located at the discharge point.
