STEAM TURBINE IN POWER PLANT

• A steam turbine in power plant is a rotating machine that

utilize high pressure steam to move the moving blades that
are mounted onto the rotor of the turbine.
STEAM TURBINE IN POWER PLANT
In the boiler, feed water at a certain pressure and temperature is heated to the saturated
liquid state, vaporized to the saturated vapor state, and saturated steam then passes
through the superheater and is heated to its desired temperature. Superheated high
pressure steam is then piped to the steam turbines which drive the generators.

The steam turbine in power plant consists of three stages:

1.High Pressure (HP) Stage
2.Intermediate Pressure (IP) Stage
3.Low Pressure (LP) Stage

Steam Turbine Working Principle
• A steam turbine works on the basic principle of the
Rankine cycle. The basic principle of a steam turbine involves
the expansion of high-pressure steam through a series of stages,
where it passes over sets of stationary and rotating blades.

MW)
• Characteristics
• The optimal last stage blade (LSB) length and number of casings is selected
based on the steam exhaust conditions. By combining the high pressure
(HP) turbine and intermediate pressure (IP) turbine into a single casing, the
turbine can be made more compact, thus reducing the number of
components and required area for installation. On top of reducing costs
related to civil construction and installation work, maintenance is also easier
due to reduced number of spare parts and required inspection period. For
Steam Power Plants, to increase overall plant efficiency, up to 9 extractions
for feedwater heating are possible. For the low pressure (LP) turbine,
exhaust direction is not limited to downward exhaust, but can also be
designed for sideward exhaust.
