Standard Technical Features of BTG System for Supercritical 660/800 MW Thermal Units

a) Test loads 100% TMCR and 80% TMCR.

b) Test conditions Boiler operating at rated steam parameter, excess
air, coal fineness and firing design coal.
c) Ambient 27oC dry bulb temperature and 60% relative
conditions humidity. The reference air temperature for the
efficiency guarantee/ testing shall be taken as
27oC at APH inlet (without consideration of heat
credits).
d) No. of readings Two sets of consistent readings for each of test
loads. Average of the test efficiencies based on
above two readings for each load shall be
considered for evaluation.
e) APH leakages to Guaranteed or actual whichever is higher.
be considered
f) Test duration Four hours. No soot blowing shall be allowed
during the test period or during stabilization
period of four hours prior to commencement of
the test.
g) Heat credits No heat credits allowed. The guaranteed steam
generator efficiency shall be without any heat
credit.

ii) The guaranteed efficiency shall comply with following limiting

parameters with design coal firing:
a) Excess air at economizer outlet at 20% (minimum).
100% TMCR load
0
b) Corrected flue gas temperature 125 C or as predicted by the
(at 100% TMCR load) supplier at air preheater outlet
whichever is higher.
c) Boiler efficiency loss to be Minimum 1%.
considered due to unburnt carbon

iii) The following correction curves shall be applicable for performance test
of the steam generator:
a) Ambient air temperature.
b) Relative humidity of ambient air.
c) Hydrogen in coal.
d) Moisture in coal.
e) Gross calorific value of coal.
f) Feed water temperature at economiser inlet.
5.5.2 Performance test of ESP
i) The performance/ acceptance tests shall be carried out in accordance
with method-17 of EPA (Environmental Protection Agency of USA)
code.
