Three-dimensional incompressible turbulent flow fields within the passage of the steam turbine nozzle with/without tip clearance have been simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations with SIMPLE scheme. The extended k-e model is applied to modeling the Reynolds stresses. Grids in the computational domain are generated by solving the Poisson's equations to improve the smoothness and orthogonality. Flow losses, secondary flow, velocity profiles, and deviation angles are obtained. The computated results without tip clearance show good agreement with the experimental data.

Structural analyses are preformed for the high pressure steam turbine casings of the nuclear and the fossil power plants. An axisymmetric boundary element program for analysis of the casings is developed and applied in the process of practical structural design. To show the useful-ness and accuracy of the developed program results of the analysis are compared with those of the finite element analysis under hydrostatic test pressure, To check the validity of the axisymmetric numerical analysis of the casings the stresses resulting from the hydrostatic test pressure are measured using the strain gate. The results of the numerical analyses are compared and discussed with those of the experiments.

The demand for steam generators is increasing in industrial systems in which the design strategy should be implemented for safe and efficient operation of steam generators. It is, however, difficult to design a controller by the conventional method because of the nonlinear dynamics of the steam generator and influences by the set value of disturbance. This paper presents an automatic parameter optimization technique for a multivariable fuzzy controller using evolutionary strategy, At first, we use the steady state information such as a steady state gain matrix(SSGM) and a relative gain matrix(RGM). We can obtain much information on the control inputs and the outputs of the boiler-turbine system from the matrices. In order to determine the structure of the controller by using RGM and SSGM, the fuzzy rules are trained by evolutionary strategy. The good performance of the proposed multivariable fuzzy controller is verified through simulations.

Many years ago, most of thermal power plants built in this country were of subcritical pressure, of medium or small size, of constant pressure operation, of drum type steam generator. But, nowadays, almost all of them were of high efficiency, of supercritical pressure, of great capacity(about 500MW), of sliding pressure operation, of once through type steam generator. Presently built once through boiler introduces turbine bypass systems to variable pressure operation which eliminates unexpected materials in boiler tube during startup, minimizes fuel loss by short startup period, eventually improves total efficiency and power system stability

The steam turbine rotor blade is designed using the Turbine Rotor Design Package developed by the authors. It can quickly accomplish blade shape design in the power plant industry. The quasi-3d code is employed for analysis of passage flow in the blade sections. Iterative change of each blade shape is made by moving position of control points in the Bezier curve under GUI(graphic user interface) environment. The full 3-D blade shape is obtained by stacking of the section blades.

Exergy analysis is widely used in energy system analysis for more efficient energy use. Pinch technology has focused on chemical plants, such as pure heat exchanger networks. In this study, the objective is to seek more effective means with integrating above two methods. In order to demonstrate effective result and to prove possibility for pinch analysis, the steam turbine is adopted to make heat recovery in the heat exchanger network. Three cases are introduced using the integration of exergy and pinch analysis. The standard steam turbine utility is the base case, and adding the heat pump to this system is the second case. The third case is the system with the heat pump and minimum utilities. The results show that the output power of steam turbine in the case(2) and case(3) are increased up to 42% and 46%, respectively, compared with that of base case.

The steam turbine used in nuclear power plant is modeled for the purpose of verification of control system rather than the operator education. The valves, reheater and generator are modeled also and integrated into the simulator. After that, the operation data and the designed data such as heat balance diagram are utilized to identify the model parameters. It was evident that model outputs of developed simulator are very close to the measured operating ones. The simulator within dynamic model was used to verify and validate the whole control system together with field instruments. And the target plant has been operating long time.

Stationary and rotating blades can be found in a steam turbine generator and the airfoil shapes of these blades can be defined by point data from an aerodynamic design system. The main design process of blades is composed of two steps: first, the blade surface is modeled with the point data; and then, the section data is generated which contains composite curves with line segments and arcs for CAE of the blade. The surface is modeled by a curve-net defined by the point data, which may be extended to obtain the section data to model the blade. This paper presents methods for automating the above-mentioned steps, which have been implemented in the commercial CAD/CAM system, Unigraphics, with API functions written in C-language. Finally, the proposed methods have been applied to model the blade of a steam turbine generator.

By matching a well established fast throughflow code, with standard loss correlations, and an efficient optimization algorithm, a new design system has been developed, which optimizes inlet and exit flow-field parameters for each blade row of a multistage axial flow turbine. The compressible steady state inviscid throughflow code based on streamline curvature method is suitable for fast and accurate flow calculation and performance prediction of a multistage axial flow turbine. A general purpose hybrid constrained optimization package, iSIGHT has been used, which includes the following modules: genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, modified method of feasible directions. The design system has been demonstrated using an example of a 5-stage low pressure steam turbine for 800MW thermal power plant previously designed by HANJUNG. The comparison of computed performance of initial and optimized design shows significant improvement in the turbine efficiency.

Many years ago, most of thermal power plants built in this country were of subcritical pressure, of medium or small size, of constant pressure operations and of drum type steam generators with circulation type boilers. But, nowadays almost all of them were of high efficiency, of supercritical pressure, of big capacity, of sliding pressure operations, and of once through type steam generator. It has such advantage as the reduction of startup duration, but it control system and operation method are very complicated. It has a big difference in operation method of turbine and boiler. The feedforward control needs to be introduced to prevent such problems as thermal shock during the transit from normal operation into bypass operation. This paper introduces the turbine control and turbine bypass control during startup of thermal power plants.
