Abstract
When Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (PPandL) of Allentown, U.S.A. signed a contract in 1970 with M.A.N. for the supply of two 850 MW turbines as part of extension of its existing coal-fired power station at Martins Creek by two oil-fired units, continuous base load operation was planned for the initial years. After about ten years both units should have been curbed to low load operation at night and completely shutdown at weekends. Then in 1973 when the oil crisis led to fuel prices which proved the operation of both units uneconomic the way they were planned for the initial years, all conditions were given to operate both turbines on a daily cycling basis from their commissioning day on. This was due to the installation of quality equipment for the improvement of thermal performance.
