Valve Considerations when repowering a coal plant to use a gas turbine

Steve Brown of Crane analyzes valve requirements when repowering from coal to gas .Both cast and forged valves are important for the power industry with forged valves becoming more preferred in the most demanding applications and cast valves still comprising the balance of power plant valve installations.

Steam atteperator valve and actuator selection

AEP replaced the existing attemperator valves and actuators with Koso valves and Rexa Electraulic (electro-hydraulic) actuators, giving rangeability and control down to 0.5 percent open.

BWR auxiliary feedwater valves in OTSG

Air-operated valves LCV-4025 and LCV-4026 control steam generator level for the “A” OTSG, and LCV-4007 and LCV-4009 for the “B” OTSG. The level control system for each valve receives a level input signal from a startup range OTSG level transmitter in the essential controls and instrumentation (ECI) system. This signal is compared with a level setpoint, and the resultant error signal modulates the control valve using a proportionalplus- integral controller. Manual control is available in both the main and auxiliary control room. Parallel flowpaths (one from a motor-driven pump, one from the turbine-driven pump) and redundant instrumentation and control power supplies for the level control valves ensure flow to each OTSG. Motor-operated block valves (V-14A and V-31B in the “A” OTSG supply, V-37A and V-20B in the “B” OTSG supply) provide redundant feedwater isolation of an OTSG. The turbine-driven and motor-driven pump discharge lines combine to supply the auxiliary feed ring in each OTSG.
