Solar repowering for electric generation. Northeastern Station Unit 1, Public Service Company of Oklahoma
The Department of Energy contracted for Black and Veatch to develop a conceptual design for solar repowering Northeastern Station Unit 1 (NES 1) of the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO). NES 1 is located about 50 km (30 miles) northeast of Tulsa, Oklahoma. This plant was selected because it is representative of candidate plants for repowering and for solar-fossil hybrid operation; it is located in a moderate insolation region, utilizes an efficient reheat cycle with steam conditions characteristic of modern power plants, and has sufficient land for repowering. NES 1 has a subcritical, single reheat turbine-generator and a gas-fired steam generator. The basic repowering configuration was established through a series of trade studies and the criterion that proven technology be used. The system selected has a water/steam receiver which supplies superheated steam to the turbine at a design point flow rate sufficient to displace 20 percent of the unit's fossil fuel consumption. This volume contains the appendices: (A) system requirements specification, and (B) daily insolation profiles. (WHK)
