Feasibility of hot gas path components upgrading for a PG9351FA gas turbine
The upgrading technology for hot gas path(AGP) components of GE's PG9351 FA gas turbine is introduced. On the basis of the actual situation of a combined cycle power plant(CCPP)
the retrofitting principle and scheme for the AGP upgrading are analyzed and proposed
and the corresponding change of the CCPP's thermal performance
investments and earnings are also evaluated. The results show that
the AGP upgrading for the PG9351 FA gas turbine can improve the CCPP's power output and thermal efficiency. The AGP upgrading has good economic benefits and a short payback period. Moreover
it suggests that necessary check computations
inspections and tests should be carried out on the key accessorial equipments before the retrofitting is carried out
so as to make the most suitable transformation scheme.
