Power Plant

Power Plant produces

Electricity
Steam for heat
Chill water for cooling
Domestic cold water
Domestic hot water
Compressed air for building controls
 Co-generation plant

 We produce 400 psi superheated steam in our

boiler then use the steam to turn turbine
generators to produce electricity. We extract a
portion of the steam at a lower pressure from
the turbines. We then use the lower pressure
steam again for heating, domestic hot water
production ,and chilled water production.
 Co-generation plant

 We are produce about half of the electricity

the campus uses on the average day

#7 turbine steam condenser
 Extraction turbines have a steam condenser operating
under a vacuum to condense the steam not extracted for
other processes. The condensate (condensed steam) is
returned to the boilers to produce steam again.
 The unused heat from the condensed steam is rejected to
the lake.
 Before the water is returned to the lake it is cooled in 1 of
5 cooling towers
 Extraction turbines are able to meet variable steam load
conditions and still maintain electrical production needs.

#2 Turbine Generator

#5 turbine generator
10 psi back pressure unit
#5 TG exhaust line
 Back pressure units exhaust steam at a back
pressure directly into a steam line. No
condenser.
 No heat is sent to the lake.
 Not very flexible for load conditions. Must
have some place for the steam to go.
Electrical production varies with steam load
conditions.
Conditions that rob plant efficiency

 Wrong boiler fuel to air ratio

 Water side boiler scale
 Fireside boiler slagging
 Turbine blade deposits
 Poor turbine blade condition
 Waterside steam condenser tube scale
