steam turbine generators

[segun60]

what are the range of furnace temperatures/pressures for steam generators of about 100Mw to 120Mw?

1000F, 1800 to 2600 psig ")

Wow, Byrd, you said so much in so few words. No reheat?

MWelectric isen't the same as MWthermal because of losses in the turban and generator.
And often forgotten is the transformer losses, auxilury losses, and alternate uses of steam.

Also consiter low BTU heat used for preheating intake air.

Bottom line is MWelectric is the only measurment that captures the whole beast (except the rare steam sales).
