Kingston controls upgrade retrofit study: Application of EPRI products and controls guidelines. Final report
- Gilbert Commonwealth, Inc., Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
This report documents the economic feasibility assessment for a distributed controls system retrofit at the nine-unit TVA Kingston Steam Plant, a 1950`s vintage coal-fired plant with electric analog controls being dispatched by Automatic Generation Control. This assessment included evaluating the existing instrumentation, actuators, and plant support systems as well as the control system. Two measures aided the effort: (1) use of EPRI Controls Retrofit Guidelines and (2) identification of additional cost savings by introducing R&D products concurrently with the controls retrofit. The economic feasibility assessment demonstrated a total yearly benefit of $580,000, with a one-time savings of $1.8M from potentially eliminating the requirement to install LO-NOx burners.
