2 Content Targets of Power Supply Importance of efficiency Steam turbine plants Gas turbine plants Gas and steam turbine plants Role in the supply system of the future

3 What are the targets of Power Supply? CO 2 -Emissions Other emissions Landscape consumption Consumption of ressources Sustainability η = Crucial parameter: Efficiency η ggggggggg eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee, kkkkk uuuu eeeeee cccc, ggg,, kkk tt Strong influence on emissions Strong influence on operational cost Security of supply Economy Reliability Availability (also of primary energy source) Controllability Support of technical system stability Development cost Investment Operational cost Residue handling cost Dismantling cost

4 Limits of efficiency Efficiency NEVER is 100% For thermodynamic cycle processes: Determined by temperature levels of heat transfer: η = 1 T lll T hhhh T high T high T low Water-steam cycle (Rankine) T low Gas turbine cycle (Joule) Primary energy Theoretical efficiency Limited by Typical values Effect on Coal 50-55% T in,t amb, materials 42-46% Emissions, op. cost Gas (Gas Turbine) 40-45% T in,t amb, materials 40% Emissions, op. cost Photovoltaic >20% Semiconductor material 12-16% Installed capacity Wind 59% mass balance 50% Installed capacity

7 What is a steam power plant? Chemical Energy Boiler (HRSG/Reactor) Thermal Energy Steam Turbine Mechanical Energy Generator Electrical Energy Typical power output: MW

8 What is a steam power plant? LP turbine for NPP: centrifugal force 620 t per blade equal to take-off weight of an Airbus A380 SPP Schwarze Pumpe, Germany

9 What is a gas turbine power plant? η = P m F H L P = P T - P C - P L P C P T Circumferential acceleration to blades: g Transferred power per blade: 3,5 MW (SGT5-8000H) Typical power output: MW

10 What is a Combined Gas and Steam plant?

11 What is a Combined Gas and Steam plant? Efficiency: >60%!

12 Effect of fuel and efficiency on emissions: Change from hard coal to natural gas: CO 2 emission per thermal energy capacity Coal: ~400g/kWh th Natural gas: ~200g/kWh th Increase efficiency from 40% to 60% (on natural gas): 40%: 0,5 kg/kwh el 60%: 0,33 kg/kwh el on operational cost: Change from hard coal to natural gas: Coal: 5-6 /MWh th Natural Gas: 21 /MWh th (based on current EEX data, without CO2 certificate cost) Increase efficiency from 40% to 60% (on natural gas): 40%: 52,50 /kwh el 60%: 35 /kwh el

13 System stability and security of supply Tasks in the Grid: Voltage Control Frequency Control Load dispatch Normal operation New challenges with RE RE Fluctuations Stand by capacity Independency of fossil sources Dyn.Stability (FRT) Fast frequency changes Black Start, Grid Restoration Disturbed conditions Islanding 100ms 1 s 10 s 1 min 15 min 1 h 8 h 1 d 1 w 1 m 1 y 10 y 100 y Manyfold requirements to power plant dynamics!

14 Role of inertia in the system The electrical grid is a system of interconnected synchronous rotating machines. The less rotating mass (inertia) available, the less stable the system frequency and the higher the required dynamic capabilities of remaining plants. Wind and PV do not inherently provide inertia, synchronous machines do! A minimum amount of synchronous machines is necessary for system stability. Consumers with very limited inertia Synchronous generators with inertia Non-synchronous generators without inertia

15 Power to Gas to Power Electrical network Gas network Wind PV CCPP Power generation Power storage Gas storage CO 2 Electrolyser H 2 -storage CO 2 - storage Methanising Long term chemical storage in existing gas system: decoupling of generation and demand Ideal Integration of gas and power system on generation and demand side Reliable system stability with proven technology, high efficiency and flexibility

Cold starts Operational regime not predicable New design paradigm Hot starts Limitation of start up time by: - heating of relevant components, condensation - temperature stress in thick walled components - distorsion due to temperature gradients combination of number of starts and loading rate determines life time
