High power density, 60 Hz, single flow steam turbine with 42 inch titanium last row blade for advanced combined cycle applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20014103
Highly efficient, yet economical steam turbines with large exhaust areas and increased inlet pressure and temperature capability are required to complement the growth in combustion turbine power ratings and address the pursuit of higher combined cycle plant efficiencies. This paper discussed the design of a 130--190MW, 60 Hz steam turbine which addresses these requirements for 2 x 1F, 1 x 1G and Advanced Turbine Study (ATS) combined cycle plants. Features of interest include a compact, two casing, axial exhaust, single flow design with a two piece, welded IP-LP rotor and 42 inch titanium last row blade.
