Lectures

Goal

Reaching the competence and academic skills and methods for it's acquiring. Developing creative capabilities and mastering the specific practical skills. Goals determine the specific results which should be achieved within the subject. Goals also represent basis for control of the achieved results. Activities in this subject are in accordance with basic tasks and goals of the study program.

Outcome

After successfully completing the course, the students will be able to: • Acquire the essence of heat balance condensing thermal power plant. • Be familiar with the regenerative heating feedwater schemes. • Get to know about the water supply, transport fuels, slag and ash transport and flue gases depuration before its removal to the atmosphere. • Get to know more about the principles of determining the location and general plan for thermal power plants and heating plants. • Compare theoretical knowledge with plant derived from visiting a thermal power plant or heating plant.

Theoretical teaching

Consumption of electrical and thermal energy; division of thermal power plants and technological scheme of thermal power plants; Efficiency and heat balance of condensation thermal power plant; Thermal efficiency and energy indicators of heating power stations; Steam parameters and reheating; Regenerative feed water heating; loss of steam, water and condensate and their fill; Power plant water supply; Transportation and storage of fuel in power plants; Transportation of slag and fly ash in thermal power plants; Filtration and drainage of flue gases into the atmosphere; Location and general plan for power plants;

Practical teaching

Auditory exercises consist from demonstration exercises (Presentation and explanation of thermal power plant schemes; Representation and explanation of the power plant elements; Steam parameters of thermal power plants and reheating; Regenerative heating of condensate and feed water; The main operating facilities of domestic power plants; Displaying general plans for local power stations; Problems of exploitation of power plants); Instructions for making calculation task - Main features of the power plant block; Instructions for preparation of the paper - Elements of the power plant main facilities.
