ABSTRACT
Heat Recovery steam
Generators are widely used in
cogeneration and combined
cycle plants generating steam
utilizing energy from gas
turbine exhaust. Before
planning cogan projects
,consultants should study
various options available in
terms of steam parameters and
select the optimum. simulation
helps plan such studies. In
addition,useful "what if ..
studies can be performed
without even designing the
HRSG,thus saving valuable
time.
UxS=
nr.rRODUCTION
It is not necessary to
physically design a HRSG in
terms of surface area,tube
size,fin configuration etc in
order to evaluate its
performance under different
modes of operation and
different gas/steam
conditions.
APPLICATIONS
The theory behind simulation
is well discussed in the
references and hence will not
be repeated here. The
applications will be discussed
so that those interested can
benefit.

consumption is excessive.
3. STUDY TEMPERATURE
PROFILES,
By looking at the
possibility of multiple
pressure operation and
placement of modules in the
gas path,the exit gas
I
temperature from the HRSG ca~
be lowered. Simulation helps
to locate different modules
such as evaporator,
superheater,economizer at
different places in multiple
pressure HRSGs and see which
combination generates the moat
steam.
However it is possible to
evaluate the actual
performance of the HRSG and
relate it to the guarantee
point using HRSG simulation.

By suggesting different
pinch and approach points,the
gas/steam temperature profile
and steam generation of the
HRSG at the plant operating
condition may be simulated.
Once this "design" is arrived
at, its off-design performance
at any other condition may be
evaluated using the simulation
process; hence by seeing what
happens at the simulatd
guarantee conditions, one can
study if the HRSG was designed
to deliver the guaranteed
steam; the margins for
measurement may also be
considered in such studies.
This method gives a good idea
if the HRSG performance is
close to what was predicted.
