High-reliability gas turbine combined-cycle development program: Phase II. Volume 1. Final report
The purpose of the High Reliability Gas Turbine Combined-Cycle Development Program is to develop a gas turbine design with sufficient reliability to be considered for baseload service in a combined-cycle plant. The objective of this program is to generate a new conceptual centerline design for gas turbine and accessories, with reliability as the key parameter. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Inc. awarded the Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Systems Division a contract (RP1187) under Phase II, which required an in-depth analysis of problem areas and approaches identified in Phase I, definition of goals and strategy for reliability improvement, and a specification for the Phase III design. The effort and results of Phase II interrelated tasks are described. These tasks include: (1) Data and RAM methodology update providing a data base necessary for apportionments, predictions, and design efforts utilizing a representative combined cycle plant; (2) RAM and COE analysis including goal allocation, prediction analysis, guidance/support to perform FMEA analysis, combined cycle plant optimization, component life evaluation, and alternate design solutions as a function of COE; (3) New centerline combustion turbine engine design including CT auxiliary systems, advanced CT technology development, CT engine performance analysis, subassembly and component design, and integration of a new HI-REL CTCC plant; (4) Combined cycle plant component design and analysis including other CC components and systems needed to integrate the new CT engine, CT engine auxiliary systems, CC plant auxiliary subsystems, and CC fuel systems; and (5) Program planning to define the goals of future phases of the EPRI High Reliability Combustion Turbine Project. This volume covers the first three tasks.
