Power Generation in an Extraction Steam Turbine-Generator Procedure

An Extraction Steam Turbine-Generator equipment resource is used to represent an extraction steam turbine coupled to an electric generator. The equipment resource hosts a Power Generation in an Extraction Steam Turbine-Generator Procedure with a main objective to expand high pressure steam to low pressure steam in one or more expansion steps, extract low pressure steam at different pressures and convert delivered shaft power into electrical power.

Sizing: Design Mode

In design mode, the software will size the unit based on the demand on power by the steam expansion operation executed in the unit. If the power exceeds the specification for the maximum power then the software will assume multiple number of identical units (each with power equally distributed) that are operated in parallel.

Sizing: Rating Mode

In rating mode, the power and the number of units are provided by the user.
