Abstract

This paper reports the experimental analysis and numerical performance of a 760 MWe Combined Cycle Gas-Steam Power Plant, built in Sparanise (ITALY) and went into service in September 2007. This Plant fills the problem of Frequency Regulation in the restructured Italian power system which, following the European deregulating process, has been moving from a vertically integrated structure to a new scenario, with several private hold companies competing on the generation side. The new legislation revealed a number of technical and economic issues for Electric Combined Cycle Power Plants, designed to reach out to a maximum efficiency in the operation at the nominal point. For the partial evaluation of these aspects has been carried out an experimental energetic analysis of current performance and, on the basis of this, a thermodynamic simulation tool has been developed to identify the combinations of control parameters designed to maximize the overall performance and to evaluate different layout system solutions. An application of this tool has been performed to evaluate the effect of the Inlet Fogging Technique on the global efficiency.
