COMBINED HEAT POWER J.R. Simplot Mountain Home, Idaho Why Co-Generate Electricity is most often generated in one of three ways From steam systems at an efficiency of 26% From simple gas turbines at an efficiency of 35% From combined cycles, gas turbine and use exhaust for steam turbine at an efficiency of 46% COMMON POWER CYCLE THERMAL EFFICIENCIES Simple Steam Cycle 25% - 35% Generate steam at high pressure exhaust steam from steam turbine to condenser. Simple Gas Turbine 30% - 35% Gas Turbine driven generator with exhaust to atmosphere. Combined Cycle 50% - 60% Gas Turbine driven generator with exhaust used to make high pressure steam, and high pressure steam used to generate additional electricity in steam turbine. Gas Turbine-Process Steam 75% - 85% Gas Trubine driven generator with exhaust used to make low pressure steam for process. COMBINED GAS TURBINE PROCESS STEAM SYSTEM ECONOMIC ANALYSES Simple boiler system requires 500 therms/hr Co-generation system requires 1300 therms/hr Co-generation also will provide 63 million kw-hr/year of electricity for sale or internal use. ESTIMATED PLANT REQUIREMENTS for 3000 tons/day FINISHED PRODUCT Peak steam 51,000 lbs/hr Average steam 38,000 lbs/hr Connected Horse Power 2000 Average electricity demand 1500 kw. Water requirements 275 gpm. POSSIBLE CO-GENERATION ALTERNATIVE Match free steam from gas turbine to average facility process steam load, and then duct fire waste heat recovery boiler to meet peak steam loads. ENERGY REQUIREMENTS FOR SIMPLOT ROLLING MILL(without combined heat power) 475 Therms of natural gas per hour to generate 38,000 lbs of process steam. Natural Gas budget of $1,995,000.00 per year 1500 kw to operate the rolling mill equipment. Electric budget including demand of $693,000.00 per year. Total utility budget of $2,688,000.00 per year. CAN A COMBINED HEAT AND POWER PLANT REDUCE THE UTILITY BUDGET? A FEW GAS TURBINE ALTERNATIVES Summary of Technology Characteristics The source is de
