Power Plant Improvement
SoftInWay: Turbomachinery Mastered
The important tasks in response to fuel resource depletion and the growth of electricity consumption are efficiency improvement and capacity increase of fossil-fuel steam power plants.
The implementation of reconstruction projects and upgrading of available capacities is a more optimal option of electricity generation development than the construction of new energy generating capacities of thermal power plants.
Improvement in the performance of existing power plants can be obtained by modifying their thermodynamic cycles.

The regional growth of energy demands requires greater electric generation. The increase in the power of an individual power plant is the most expedient solution to the issue.
Steam Power Units Improvement by Superstructure
23SoftInWay: Turbomachinery Mastered
Superstructure consists of the addition of a new high pressure turbine to an existing power unit. Live steam at first expands in the new turbine to a backpressure level that is slightly higher than the initial pressure of the old turbine.
Assumed application effects: Increase in power generation without additional losses in the condenser Increase in cycle efficiency

The history of turbine construction around the world shows that the replacement of the motor driven feed pumps with the steam turbine driven pump allows an increase of up to 0.7 % in fuel economy.
Main task: Definition of the location of steam extraction from the main turbine to supply turbine drive and the point where steam flow returns to the main cycle after an expansion in the driven turbine.
Requirements: Maximized fuel economy Minimal changes in existing flow diagram.

AxCYCLE™ as Tool for Steam Power Plant Cycle Improvement Implementation Analysis and redesign of the thermodynamic cycle of a steam power unit are the first and most important phases of the unit performance improvement process. Solving these tasks with minimal time and financial costs is impossible without the use of reliable and effective tools. Today, a wide range of software products for the thermodynamic simulation of cycles is available for engineers and researchers, but not all of the software is universal. Additionally, not all of them contain the necessary tools and features for the cycle redesign. AxCYCLE is best suited for solving the tasks of analysis and redesign of steam power plant cycles. All mentioned embodiments of improvement of steam turbine cycles were realized with the AxCYCLE program without any essential efforts.
