Jivitan Jivitan OK. thnk u very much if i hv the values of LVH. Is there any specific formula to directly calculate the fuel consumption? 1 day ago Unlike Like

JamesUnfollow Follow James James Kugler HOLGER is correct in that PTC 22 explains the process. It's rather simple. You need to know if the heat rate is based on the gross or the net plant output, and if the heat rate is based on the Lower Heating Value (LHV) or Higher Heating Value (HHV) of the fuel. Since this is a combined cycle plant it is most likely based on the LHV. For any specific load point (such as full load) the heat rate will be different depending on the ambient conditions (ambient temperature, ambient pressure, and humidity). For a known heat rate (BTU/KWH) at a known power output (KW) the product of the two values is the heat input (BTU/hr). Divide the heat input by the fuel heating value and you have the fuel quantity. 16 hours ago Unlike Like

HOLGERUnfollow Follow HOLGER HOLGER Lukas PTC 22 is but one of several Performance Test Codes that can be used for a Combined Cycle Plant. PTC46 Overall Plant Performance is sort of man umbrella standard. PTC 22 covers the Gas Turbine, PTC51 the Inlet Air-Conditioning System, PTC 6.2 the Steam Turbine, PTC4.4 the Heat Recovery Steam Generator, PTC 12.s covers steam Surface condensers and PTC 30.1 covers Air-Cooled Steam Condensers. There are additional standards for pressure, temperature, and flow as well as uncertainty. Each of the standard refers to others as necessary. 14 hours ago Unlike Like
