This guidebook exclusively features guidance and strategies on feedwater in power plants. All articles were previously published in POWER magazine, offering practical insights for engineers and operators. Topics Include:
  • How to Avoid Feedwater Heater Drain Design Pitfalls
  • Coordinated Feedwater Heater Energy Control
    The increased use of intermittent renewable energy sources and the shift to gas-fired combustion turbines places new burdens on the dispatch of many coal-fired units. Steam units must now operate at very low minimum load while maintaining the ability to ramp up and down quickly. High-pressure feedwater heater energy control can improve the system response of such coal-fired units.
  • Improve Plant Heat Rate with Feedwater Heater Control
  • Feedwater Chemistry Meets Stainless Steel, Copper, and Iron
    Developing a feedwater chemistry program that minimizes corrosion across a variety of metallurgies. Reviews requirements for three common metallurgies in condensate and feedwater piping and the chemistry options to minimize corrosion in this critical plant area.
  • Coal-Fired Power Plant Heat Rate Improvement Options, Part 1
    EPRI explores dozens of methods for improving heat rates at coal-fired plants, evaluating their applicability and costs. Part 1 covers the basics and range of options.
  • Establishing Proper Pressure Drop for Feedwater Flow Control Valves
    Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. Proper design of pressure drop at rated and off-design conditions ensures efficient operation across scenarios.
  • Fully Automating HRSG Feedwater Pumps
    Case study on automating a simplified feedwater pump system for a combined-cycle plant, combining controls automation strategies and human-machine interface techniques to improve performance and ease of use.
  • Power 101: Improving the Performance of Boiler Auxiliaries, Part III
  • More Strategies for Inspecting HRSGs in Two-Shift and Low-Load Service
  • Selecting a Combined Cycle Water Chemistry Program
    Water chemistry is critical for high-pressure, high-temperature, and fast-start/ cycling combined-cycle plants. This article reviews selection strategies tailored to different plant designs.
