Guidelines on Optimizing Heat Recovery Steam Generator Drains
During power plant startup and shutdown, condensation occurs in the high-pressure superheaters and reheaters of heat recovery steam generators, and many drain systems inadequately remove the condensate, resulting in severe fatigue and cracking on superheaters, reheaters, headers, and piping. This report is intended to help steam generators owners to evaluate, maintain, and retrofit ineffective drain […]

Case Studies in Flexible Operations of Combined-Cycle and Simple-Cycle Plants—2015 Update
Increasing renewable generation has forced combined-cycle and simple-cycle fossil plants to start more frequently, operate over a greater load range, and provide load-balancing. This report updates a 2014 report with two additional plant case studies on flexible operation strategies and technologies.
