    摘要: A combined cycle power plant that includes a gas turbine and HRSG engaged with a steam turbine via a water steam cycle having higher and lower pressure levels. The CCPP further includes a fuel line and fuel preheater. A higher pressure feedwater line delivers higher pressure feedwater to a higher pressure feedwater branch that extends through the fuel preheater, the high pressure feedwater branch including upstream and downstream segments defined to each side of the fuel preheater. A lower pressure feedwater line delivers lower pressure feedwater to a lower pressure feedwater branch. The downstream segment of the higher pressure feedwater branch is combined with the lower pressure feedwater branch at a junction point and a combined feedwater line extends therefrom. A first heat exchanger exchanges heat between the combined feedwater line and fuel line. A second heat exchanger exchanges heat between the higher pressure feedwater branch and fuel line.

    摘要: In a first embodiment, a system includes a turbine system including turbomachinery, one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions. When executed by the one or more processors, the instructions are configured to cause the one or more processors to receive an operating parameter of the turbomachinery, and calculate a risk of failure for the turbomachinery based at least in part on an asset failure mode model. The instructions are also configured to cause the one or more processors to categorize the risk of failure as a selected failure indicator category of a plurality of failure indicator categories, and output the selected failure indicator category.

    摘要: A high efficiency multi-stage duct fired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is provided to generate steam for use in thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications. The HRSG is equipped with a plurality of duct burners in series and a plurality of evaporators for transferring heat from the duct burners to the water to generate steam, with at least one evaporator corresponding to each of the duct burners. Each evaporator is arranged downstream from the corresponding duct burner. At least one perforated plate is configured to disperse and distribute available oxygen within a subsequent duct burner. Hot exhaust gas from a gas turbine (over 1000° F.) is directed to the duct burners in series, allowing further combustion and maximizing thermal efficiency for the HRSG to have a thermal efficiency of at least 92%, and for the exhaust gas exiting the HRSG to contain oxygen in a range of 2% to 8%.

    摘要: A method (110) of controlling an imbalance response in a power plant comprising first and second gas turbine engines and a steam turbine driven by steam generated by exhaust from the first and second gas turbine engines can comprise operating the first gas turbine engine at a first power output (116A), operating the second gas turbine engine at a second power output (116B), monitoring load demand from a power grid operating at a steady state condition (114), detecting a load imbalance on the power grid (120) that causes a deviation from the steady state condition, and adjusting the first power output and the second power output incongruently (128) during the imbalance response to change the first power output and the second power output to match the deviation from the steady state condition depending on contemporaneous efficiency states of the first and second gas turbine engines.
