OSTI ID:6568757

An EPRI workshop to address fossil plant cycling was hosted by Public Service Electric and Gas in Princeton, New Jersey, October 20-22, 1987. Participants represented a broad spectrum of US and foreign utilities, architect-engineering firms, equipment vendors, engineering consultants, and universities. These Proceedings contain the text of the formal presentations as well as summaries of the working group sessions and the panel discussion. The formal presentations addressed six broad topics including: generation planning; turbine and balance of plant modifications; boiler modifications; plant analysis and design modifications; controls, operating procedures, and maintenance; and monitoring cycling plants. Four working group sessions were held to provide a forum for participants to discuss specific cycling related issues in more detail including: diagnostics and monitoring; controls, operating procedures, and maintenance; generation planning, operations and maintenance, and controls; and plant design changes.
