Optimization of configurations and parameters of combined cycle power station on the base of medium sized gas turbine plants.

The article presents how climatic conditions of combined cycle power station site (traditional for Russian Federation), heat-and-power supply schedule, CCPP type (single-circuit, double-circuit, etc.) steam parameters influence to annual performance characteristics of power station operation. The effect of these factors to financial and economic indicators of power station operation is described in the article. Technical parameters of gas turbine power plants in contrast to steam turbine power plants considerably depend on ambient air parameters. In modern practice in Russia above-mentioned aspects are not taken into account at development of power stations on the base of gas turbine power plants. The majority of technical decisions are made based on the criterion of maximum thermal effectiveness.

 

Rosneft Turbogear lubricating oils: Siemens approval.

The new generation turbine lubricants, Rosneft Turbogear 32, Rosneft Turbogear 46, Rosneft Turbogear 32 EP and 46 EP received the official approval from the leading turbine manufacturer – Siemens. This grade of oils has no analogues in Russia and is comparable in quality to products of the highest world standards. Rosneft Turbogear turbine lubricants are intended for use in thermomechanical and hydromechanical equipment of thermal, nuclear and hydroelectric power plants.

The samples of the oil were sent to Siemens laboratory in Germany. They were successfully tested for the compliance with Siemens TLV 901304 and 901305 specifications. Rosneft Turbogear lubricating oils are produced on the base of basic oils manufactured according synthetical technology and specially selected ashless additive package which increase antioxygenic, anticorrosion and demulsifying properties.

 

Peculiarities of gas fuel combustion in gas turbine plants.

Low NOx emission levels of gas turbine plants can be achieved without SCR units in two ways: by application of wet combustion chambers with injection of water or steam and dry combustion chambers with micro-flare staged combustion of lean air-fuel mixture. The article presents the features of dry low-emission combustion chambers application. Diffusion flame can steadily burn in the fuel mixtures of various compositions. But the density of heat flow and flow speed stability are not high. These shortcomings are eliminated by means of special stabilization of combustion and mixing augmentation. At this combustion process moves from diffusion to kinetic zone and it is followed by the increasing of sensibility of the combustion to excess of air.

 

Algorithm for implementing of system functions in self-excitation voltage regulators and power system stabilizers.

Reliability and effectiveness of electric power system operation depends significantly on synchronous generators field control and in the first instance on the field control of subsystems of automatic excitation controllers which provide maximum level of dynamic stability and effective vibrations damping. With that in mind it was suggested to include home-produced controller into international standards under the name of PSS2RU.

Control algorithms implementation and their testing on the dynamic simulator for a synchronous generator excitation control system are presented in this paper.

Optimizing the South African power system with ultra-flexible LNG power plants.

This article seeks to unpack the relationship between the power system perspective and the LNG supply perspective. Using complex power system modeling software, we re-create the SA power system, based on inputs from the IRP2010, and analyses a range of scenarios which considers the impact of integrating a 3 GW gas power plant over the period 2020 – 2030. From the analysis, Wärtsilä learned that gas serves primarily two functions: 1) displace expensive diesel generation and 2) optimize the inflexible coal generation. It was also learned that significant variations in the annual gas plant load factor of between 20%-80% occurs depending on what the supply/demand status is.

 

Lukoil Efforce 4004 oil for gas engines: effectiveness confirmed by tests.

Lukoil Efforce 4004 low ash motor oil was successfully tested at many Russian power engineering enterprises and gave the opportunity to extend drain interval. Until quite recently only imported lubricating oils were used for the maintenance of gas engines. However, Lukoil presented Lukoil Efforce 4004 low ash motor oil to the market. The specialists appreciated the effectiveness of its application very quickly. Lukoil Efforce 4004 is intended for use in four-stroke air-breather and turbocharged engines with or without SCR and operated with natural gas, low-sulphur organic gas or lean gas.

It is also suitable for gas engines with pilot injection.
