A steam generation and reaheater model using characteristic lines
and transfer functions
This steam generator model is based on transfer functions and
characteristic lines. The aim of this model is to provide
reasonable boundary conditions for other parts of the water steam
cycle depending on the currend load. Be careful when
combining this model with controllers and other physically
motivated models as the model may behave in a unrealistic
manner when used in off-design statesd!
Usage advices:
- The default parameter set do not refer to any real plant
- The inlet pressures (feedwater and cold reheat) are calculated
due to the given relative heating power given. Any effects of
disturbances in the equlibrium of heating and cooling are
neglected. The model provides an ideal feedwater pressure condition
(independent from the expansion or the preheating path)
- The inlet pressures (feedwater and cold reheat) take pressure
losses using a caracteristic line into account. Any effects of
local changing phsical states are neglected
- The live steam temperature is ideally controlled at a variable
temperature. This temperature is used to calculate the live steam
specific enthalpy
- The hot reheat temperature is ideally following the design
profile. This temperature is used to calculate the hot reheat
specific enthalpy
- At the lifesteam outlet adn the hot reheat outlet either an
ideal pressure boundary condition or an ideal mass flow boundary is
provided, not both at the same time. This means for instance that a
boiler defining an ideal live steam pressure (as defined in the
corresponding characteristic line for part load definition) the
mass flow depends on the flow model (e.g. a turbine mode) following
the boiler. This mass flow rate may differ from the design mass
flow rate. However, there is no feedback of the surrounding models
to the ideal beahaviour of the boiler.
- Be careful with turbine valve throttling the steam storage and
mass flow through the valve will not be modelled in a correct way!
The turbine valve opeing is included for the sake of completeness
(see VDI cuideline 3508).
