Steam generators in cogeneration plants
- Abco Industries, Inc., Abilene, TX (United States)
This paper addresses the performance aspects of packaged steam generators and small to medium sized single pressure gas turbine heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) used in cogeneration plants. HRSGs in combined cycle plants are not addressed here as they usually involve multiple steam pressure operation and comparison with steam generators, which operate at single pressure, would be difficult. Also,the paper deals with simple Brayton cycles with heat recovery for cogeneration only and hence discussions on steam turbines is avoided. The paper addresses the behavior of the steam generators with respect to load with emphasis on fuel utilization, efficiency and performance. The information, it is hoped, would be of interest to plant engineers who would like to operate the steam generators at their best efficiency points.
