Calculating the Equivalent Service Lifetime of Power Generating Units in Thermal Power Plants1,2

To evaluate the effect of variable loads on the operating efficiency of generating units at thermal power plants we propose using an indicator of the effective run time of the turbine. Formulas are given and an example of calculating the equivalent service lifetime of a power generating unit for dif...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the effect of variable loads on the operating efficiency of generating units at thermal power plants we propose using an indicator of the effective run time of the turbine. Formulas are given and an example of calculating the equivalent service lifetime of a power generating unit for different loads is provided.
