Research and Development of Advanced Steam Turbine Systems Employing Ultra Super Critical Pressure Steam Conditions for Future Generations

(Optimization of Turbine Systems and Economic Evaluation)

抄録

Advanced steam turbine systems which employ Ultra Super Critical pressure steam conditions provide a cost effective and efficient replacement for existing oil-fired power plant units. By application of this advanced steam turbine technology, CO₂ emissions can be reduced by 10 percent and generating costs reduced by up to 20 percent. This report describes the optimization of these turbine systems and provides an economic comparison with conventional super critical pressure units.
