Turceni TPP - Rehabilitation of Units 4&5 (2 x 330 MW)
Short description:
Turceni TPP is the biggest thermal power plant, coal fired, in Romania. The project named "Program A3 - Rehabilitation of Turceni Thermal Power Plant Units 4&5” has been initiated by CONEL (National Power Authority) - Termoelectrica Subsidiary in order to rehabilitate and modernize the power units 4 and 5 rated 330 MW each, runing on lignite. The rehabilitation of units 4 and 5 in Turceni TPP has been made by ISPE together with ABB/DBE German Consortium. The project had in view, based on the examination and inspections made on site, rehabilitation works for 1035 t/h boiler, the turbine and the generator of 330 MW, the thermal-mecganical systems, the electrical systems and the implementation of a new Control System PROCONTROL P type.
Services offered:
As general designer of the plant, ISPE offered the following services related to this project:
- Inspections and expert appraisal on site in order to evaluate the technical status of the equipments and to establish the up-grading measures which were to be taken;
- Basic and detail engineering for the two units;
- Supply shipping documents;
- On site supervision and commissioning;
- Configuring of control systems.
Main technical data:
- steam, at boiler outlet 192 ata, 5400C.
- steam, at turbine inlet 182 ata, 5350C.
- turbogenerator 330 MW/388 MVA.
Estimated performances:
The rehabilitation works lead to the growth of the unit availability from 40-50% to 70-80%, to the reduction of the internal consumption and also to the improvement of the total plant efficiency:
- boiler efficiency: 88%;
- heat specific consumption per unit: 1986 kcal/kWh;
- conventional specific consumption per unit: 322.6 gce/kWh.
