The 330MW steam turbine-generator adopted ALSTOM technology, by cooperation manufacturing of 330MW steam turbine-generator unit and auxiliary equipment, BSTG introduced advanced 330MW steam turbine-generator technology, including entire design, manufacture, installation, debugging, quality control and management. Comparing with other domestic 300MW steam turbine-generator, this type of 330MW unit has fallowing features lower heat rate, startup quickly, flexible and reliable operations, long life time, excellent design, installation easy, adopting motor-driven feed water pump and the vertical type heaters.
2 Startup quickly
The steam turbine adopts IP Module startup mode, the technique originated from ALSTOM in the eighties of the twentieth century, then other famous company manufacture impulse-type turbine also adopted this technique. The essential points for turbine startup is to control temperature difference between inlet steam and casing metal so that the thermal stress can be controlled in reasonable scope. Normally adopting HP module startup mode, HP rotor is heated first and its thermal stress is high. Therefore HP module startup mode will lead that casing heating time is more long and temperature rise is slow. The steam turbine supplied by BSTG is equipped with HP and LP bypass and adopts IP module startup mode. Period from startup to carrying full load is following: Cold startup Warm startup (startup after a forty-hour shutdown) Hot startup (startup after a nine-hour shutdown) Extreme hot startup (after a one-hour shutdown) 30 years. IP module startup mode have the following advantages. (1) At cold startup, warm startup or hot startup, the steam at inlet of IP module always low pressure steam, for example, 330MW turbine adopts 1.5MPa low pressure steam. In this way, the steam heat exchange coefficient is little and IP rotor thermal stress level is low. (2) At the initial stages of turbine startup, HP casing will be under vacuum by isolation, this not only prevents from HP rotor overheat but also warms up HP casing to prepare switch inlet steam from IP to HP. (3) Switching inlet steam from IP casing to HP casing when IP module startup load reach 12%~15%, by this way, the inlet steam flow in HP casing is sufficient, which can ensure that the rotor and casing thermal stress level is low. (4) Under cooperation of bypass system, this startup mode could ensure reasonable temperature distribution. Therefore, the thermal stress on IP module startup mode level will be more less than on HP module startup mode. 200 minutes 80 minutes 50 minutes 35 minutes
Comparing with conventions HP module startup, the unit startup quickly, 20000 tons of fuel consumptions were saved in
(5) According to ALSTOM stress and life wastage calculation, under warm startup and hot startup condition, each time life wastage is 0.009%, which more less than the life wastage on HP module startup mode, and under load step change condition (10%) , each time life wastage is only 0.009%. therefore, the unit life is very long and will exceed 30 years
5 Excellent design
The turbine is a multi-stage, single-reheat impulse type. It comprises one HP module, one IP module and one LP module. Their structures have many features for example. l l l Figure 2. HP moduleleftIP Modulerightinlet section drawing The shaft diameter results from a compromise between, good mechanical behavior, good efficiency rating and good operational flexibility. l The standard integral shroud blades for the HP, IP and first few LP stages, the blades of the last two LP stage differ from the other blades at the root and the tip They are provided with a fir-tree root which facilitates their assembly and disassembly while guaranteeing good vibration behavior in operation. The length of last stage blade is 902mm, so leaving velocity loss is lower. l The turbine casings are concentric multi-shell cylinders designed for an excellent thermal behavior to provide The high and narrow flanges of the casings with a low thermal inertia are designed. No preheating is required at perfect tightness and a large operating flexibility (rapid startups and load changes). startup and joint tightness is ensured in all conditions.
6 Installation easy
Assembled HP and IP module are directly delivered to site. It is not necessary to disassembly. So reducing two months of the period of installation. Figure 4. completed HP module (left), IP module (right)
