Triple-Pressure Cycle (continued)
The energy flow diagram (Fig. 19) shows the slight improvement in the steam
turbine output over the dual-pressure cycle for the reasons stated above. The stacklosses are the same (same stack temperature) but there is a slight decrease in heatload in the condenser that corresponds to the gain in steam turbine output. For gasturbines with lower exhaust gas temperatures, more energy is available for IP steamproduction because the HP steam production is lower, making this concept moreattractive.

Reheat Cycles
Reducing ofMoisture Content
From our analysis, the moisture content in the steam turbine exhaust significantlylimits further improvements in the performance of the various cycles. By extendingthe idea of mild reheat, the full reheat cycle is derived in which this moisture contentis reduced (Fig. 22) and improvement in the performance is possible. The idea isthat (taking the triple-pressure cycle as an example) after the expansion of the HPsteam in the steam turbine to IP level, the steam returns to the HRSG and mixes withthe steam leaving the IP superheater. This steam is then heated to a temperaturesimilar or equal to the HP live-steam temperature before being admitted to thesteam turbine. In a dual-pressure reheat cycle there is no mixing on re-entering theHRSG, the cold reheat goes to an independent reheater section.
The reheater takes more exergy out of the HRSG and increases the steam turbineenthalpy drop resulting in a higher steam turbine output. Because the last part ofthe steam turbine expansion line is moved further to the right on theenthalpy/entropy diagram, there is a reduction in the moisture content (Fig 22).
Figure 20 is the flow diagram of the triple-pressure cycle with reheat. The steamturbine has separate HP and IP/LP casings (13, 14) in order to accommodate theextraction of the cold reheat steam. The high-pressure bypass (15), instead ofdumping steam into the condenser, dumps it into the cold reheat line to keep thereheat cooled (i.e., the line leaving the HP steam turbine).

Decrease of
Moisture Content
The decrease in the moisture content is illustrated on the enthalpy/Entropy diagram
(Fig. 22). The value is 10% compared to 16% in the triple-pressure example. Thepercentage of the stack losses has increased 0.4% (Fig. 23) because the stacktemperature is slightly higher 103 C (217 F). This occurs when the reheatersteals energy from the HP section of the HRSG, resulting in less HP steamproduction and therefore less feedwater heating in the HP economizers. Increases inIP and LP mass flows do not compensate for this and so the stack temperatureincreases. Combined with the additional steam turbine output, this explains thelower heat loads in the condenser.

Energy /
TemperatureDiagram
The energy/temperature diagram for the triple pressure reheat cycle is shown in
Fig. 24. The energy taken out in the HP superheater/reheater and HP evaporator isapproximately 138 MW compared to 140 MW for the triple-pressure cycle. This ismainly due to the HP evaporator pressure level difference. However, the energy istransferred at a higher temperature level and because the combined mass flow ofthe HP superheater/reheater is higher than that of the HP/IP superheater in thetriple pressure cycle, this part of the diagram moves closer to the exhaust gastemperature. This results in an exergy gain and therefore a higher steam turbineoutput.

Clearly, there is a performance benefit in a reheat cycle because of the greaterexpansion in the steam turbine and the improved exergy utilization in the HRSG.Still more is achieved if the live-steam pressure can be raised. State of the arttechnology can accomplish this task. For dual and triple-pressure cycles, the HPpart of the cycle makes the main contribution to the performance. Therefore, this isthe area in which major investments should be concentrated in order to improve thereheat cycle performance.

The cycle has no feedwater tank, so deaeration occurs in the condenser and arecirculation loop in the LP economizer of the HRSG raises the temperature of theincoming feedwater. The condensate pumps (17) must be designed to bring thecondensate to the LP drum, which also fulfils the function of LP feedwater pumps.The HP feedwater pumps (13) take suction from the LP drum.

Reheat Cycles (continued)
Heat Balance The heat balance is shown in Figure 1-46. As expected, performance is further
improved. The gross output is 2.4 MW above that of the triple-pressure reheat cycleand efficiency increases from 59.3% to 59.8% - a considerable improvement. Partof this benefit comes because a once-through HRSG is designed with an approachpoint temperature of zero but the same pinch-point (12 K (22 F)) is used as in theother examples. However, due to the increased pressure of the HP system, powerconsumed in the feedwater pumps is higher, slightly reducing the gain in the netpower output. The example is offered with a fuel that has no sulphur content so thefeedwater temperature has been reduced to optimize the energy in the cold end ofthe HRSG. In such a cycle, the feedwater temperature affects the HRSG surface butnot the performance. This is valid as long as there is sufficient energy available inthe exhaust gas to preheat the incoming condensate. Gross efficiencies
approaching 60% are the current state of the art for combined-cycle power plantswith this concept under the given ISO conditions.

Cycles with Supplementary Firing
Purpose Supplementary firing increases the plant output by installing duct burners in theHRSG inlet duct. This adds energy to the cycle by increasing the exhaust gastemperature often at the expense of efficiency. Supplementary firing is appropriatefor HRSGs because there is usually sufficient oxygen content in the exhaust gas toact as combustion air. In an open cycle gas turbine, with a single stage ofcombustion, only 30-50% of the oxygen contained in the air is used for combustion.
Earlier combined-cycle installations generally had supplementary firing. This is notthe case today due to progress in the development of the gas turbine. As gas-turbine inlet temperatures and hence exhaust gas temperatures increase, theimportance of supplementary firing diminishes for two reasons. First, because thetemperature window between the gas turbine exhaust and the duct burner exhaustdecreases so the added benefit of supplementary firing decreases. Second,optimum values can be given to the water/steam cycle parameters with the gasturbine alone. Since current levels of efficiency are set by reheat cycles, theefficiencies achieved in cycles with supplementary firing lead to a high cost ofelectricity.
Nevertheless, increased operating and fuel flexibility of the combined-cycle withsupplementary firing may be an advantage in special cases, particularly ininstallations used for cogeneration of heat and power where this arrangement
makes it possible to control the electrical and thermal outputs separately.(Continued next page)

constant live-steam conditions and inlet exhaust gas temperatures of 647
C,(1,197 F), 750 C, (1,382 F) and 1,000 C, (1,832 F), the latter two, aftersupplementary firing. At 647 C the temperatures of gas and water in theeconomizer are convergent, with the minimum difference in temperature on theevaporator end, typical for an HRSG without supplementary firing. At 1,000 C(1,832 F), on the other hand, the minimum difference in temperature is at the inletto the economizer on the waterside. This pattern corresponds more to that of aconventional steam generator.

Cycles with Supplementary Firing (continued)
Figure 28 shows how relative power output and efficiency depend on the
temperature after supplementary firing for a single and a dual-pressure cycle. Thereference point at 647 C (1,197 F) is the single-pressure cycle. The reference pointat 647 C (1,197 F) is the single-pressure cycle without supplementary firing. Above750 C (1,382 F) there is no longer any performance benefit in the dual-pressurecycle. Calculations assume the use of natural gas fuel. When burning oil, the curvepaths for the single-pressure system are not significantly changed, but there is lessdifference between the single and dual-pressure systems. Triple-pressure and triple-pressure reheat cycles follow the same pattern, starting out with a larger differencewithout supplementary firing and ending at the same point at 750 C (1382 F).

Figure 28: Effect of Temperature after Supplementary Firingon Power Output and Efficiency Relative to that of a Single Pressure Cycle
For installations with supplementary firing that are frequently operated at partloads, it could make economic sense to select a cycle with more pressure levels oreven reheat. At part loads or when the supplementary firing is switched off, theexhaust gas temperature at the outlet of the HP section rises and an LP sectionenables this exhaust gas energy to be used.

Figure 29: Heat Balance for a Single Pressure Cycle with Supplementary Firing
Supplementary firing increases the steam turbine output by 24.3 MW compared tothe cycle without supplementary firing. The efficiency rises slightly from 57.7% to57.9% because the increased steam production also results in increased mass flowsthrough the economizers removing more energy from the exhaust gas, thuslowering the stack temperature. Generally, for cycles with more pressure levelssupplementary firing has a negative effect on the efficiency because withoutsupplementary firing these cycle already make maximum use of the exhaust gasenergy.
