The Impact of the Power Plant Unit Start-Up Scheme on the Pollution Load

Abstract:

The typical problem in design of experiments methodology is to avoid risk of obtaining The article presents problems related to optimization of start-up and shut-down of the power unit located in a coal-based electric plant. The optimization includes minimization of the start-up and shut-down duration while maximum allowed stresses in the main steam valve are simultaneously taken into consideration. Such approach leads to increasing of overall efficiency of the power unit and as a result to reducing of environmental burden with the same amount of energy obtained.
