Standard Technical Features of BTG System for Supercritical 660/800 MW Thermal Units

CHAPTER 6

STEAM GENERATOR
6.1 Type
6.1.1 The Steam Generator shall be of single pass (Tower type) or two pass type
using either spiral wall (inclined) or vertical plain/ rifled type waterwall
tubing.
6.1.2 The Steam Generator shall be direct pulverized coal fired, top supported,
single reheat, radiant, dry bottom, with balance draft furnace and shall be
suitable for outdoor installation. The evaporator of Steam Generator shall be
suitable for variable pressure operation from sub-critical to supercritical
pressure range.
6.1.3 The plants based on indigenous coal may be required to use some proportion
of imported coal also. As such, steam generator shall be appropriately
designed so that it is suitable for indigenous coal and blended coal with
imported coal upto 30% on weight basis.
6.2 Rating of Steam Generator
The Steam Generator shall be designed to cater to duty requirements/rating as
specified below:
i) Steam flow at superheater 1.02 times the steam flow at turbine
outlet at boiler maximum VWO condition plus continuous auxiliary
continuous rating steam requirement of unit at TMCR,
(BMCR) rounded to next integer divisible by 5.
ii) Steam temperature:
a) At superheater outlet To correspond to HP turbine inlet
temperature of minimum 5650C
[indicative value: minimum 5680C].
b) At reheater outlet To correspond to IP turbine inlet
temperature of minimum 5930C
0
[indicative value: minimum 596 C].
iii) Steam pressure at To correspond to turbine throttle steam
superheater outlet pressure of minimum 247 kg/cm2 (abs)
[indicative value: minimum 256 kg/cm2 (abs)].
iv) Feed water temperature at 287.52.5oC [or as per optimisation by
economizer inlet TG supplier].
v) Steam generator control 50% TMCR to 100% BMCR.
range
Notes:
a) Pressure drop in reheat steam circuit (cold reheat, hot reheat line &
reheater) should not exceed 10% of HP turbine exhaust pressure under
all operating conditions including 100% BMCR condition.
b) The steam temperatures at superheater and reheater outlet(s) shall be
guaranteed to be maintained at +50C of the rated value under all
operating conditions within the control range.
