Optimization Analysis of Multiple Steam Turbines and Condensers in Paper Mill Power Plant

Abstract

The cooling tower water’s influence on turbines

and condensers thermal efficiency were researched in this paper

and the condenser working condition impact to turbines thermal

efficiency was also discussed. Based on the basic model of

turbines, condensers and cooling water, the optimization model

for the system of turbines, condensers, cooling water and

cooling water towers fan was proposed. One paper mill power

plant which has multiple turbines, condensers and cooling water

towers was taken as a case to verify the optimization model, the

result showed that the optimization model was practical and

useful for paper mill power plant; it can improve power plant

efficiency and bring good economical performance for paper
