Flexibilization: The New Paradigm in Power Generation
From the generator’s point of view, the metrics
would be :

- Minimum boiler load:
Cycling capability
• Metrics ( start-up to full load best achieved
Measuring • Quantifying time taken)
-Very hot start-up: <1h
-Hot start-up: 1.5‒2.5 h
• Sources, options
-Warm start-up: 3-5 h
Operational -Cold start-up: 6-7 h
• Preparedness for Coal based plants

Operational Challenges during part load cyclic operation
At low load condition operator is often force to run following system/control loop is
manual mode for stable operation. Few example are :-
Seal steam controller
Flame stability
SADC,
burner tilt
MS temperature,
Re-heater temperature
Oxygen trimming
Thermal Expansion : W ith the large variation of load as per requirement of the
grid the wear tear of equipments also increases which ultimately affect the reliability
of the unit
Equipment Impact
1. Thermal fatigue cracking in thick walled sections & valves
2. Increased BTL due to differential expansion
Boiler 3.Thermal fatigue cracking in SH & RH ligaments
4. Corrosion & fatigue can combine to accelerate damage to WW I
ncreased BTL
Feedwater heaters 1.Thermal fatigue of thick sections of tube plates & end cover

Optimization of processes and parameter for better efficiency APC & stability
of unit at cyclic part load operation to use total available margin in the equ
ipments
Single BFP operation: At full load two BFP kept in service but at part load one BFP stopped, result is
saving of 1100 KW.
Single mill operation with tube mill: Two Mill kept in service but at part load single mill operation is bein
g done; result is saving of 1250 KW.
Mill optimization with bowl mills: With bowl mill 04 mill are in service at full load, at part load 03 mill in
Stg-I & 02 mill in Stg-III are kept in service, result in power saving of 250 KW.
Oxygen optimization: Oxygen was being maintained around 4.5-5 % during part load, now oxygen is
maintained at 3.5-4% at part load, result in saving of 200 KW in draft power & 10 Kcal in Heat rate.
Selective LRSB operation with cost benefit analysis to maintain Super heat & Reheat temperature.
