3 Nos. 660 MW - Coal Fired Supercritical: Conference - ENERGEX 2008 Date: 26-09-2008

The document summarizes the conversion of an existing oil-fired power plant in Italy to run on coal. Key points: - ANSALDO CALDAIE was awarded the contract in 2004 to replace the 4 existing 660 MW oil-fired units with 3 new 660 MW supercritical coal-fired boilers. - The conversion was driven by higher fuel costs of oil and more stringent emission regulations. The new boilers help meet EU emission limits for SO2, NOx and dust. - The boiler design includes features like a divided back pass for temperature control and spiral-wound waterwall tubes for even heat absorption. Auxiliary systems include low-NOx burners and SCR for emissions control

OVERVIEW OF HISTORY

4 X 660 MW oil fired supercritical units


Start-up between 1984 and 1986

DRIVING FACTORS FOR


CONVERSION
FUEL COST BEING HIGHER
LIFE OF PLANT EXAHUSTED
PRESENT STRINGENT EMISSION
NORMS
REDUCTION OF GENERATION COST

KEY CHALLANGES

MEETING EU NEW EMISSION NORMS

FEATURES OF NEW BOILER


Divided back pass with
biasing dampers for RH
outlet temp control

Spiral-wound waterwall tubes

Even heat absorption


uniform water temp
distribution at outlet;
Adequate mass velocity
adequate margins against
DNB occurrence;
Flow stability;
Moderate pressure drop.

Start up and low load system


Separators
Water collecting vessel
Recirculation pump
Lower start up heat loss
Ensures adequate cooling flow at
low load (below BENSON load)
