0132: Evaluating the Benefits of Optimized Condenser Cleaning

Poor condenser performance affects the economic value of a fossil or nuclear unit in two primaryways: it degrades the heat rate of a unit, thereby requiring more fuel and producing more emissionsfor a given unit generation; and it can reduce the maximum power output of a unit during peak loadperiods. An increase in condenser pressure of a few tenths of an inch (in. Hg) can decrease a unit’sefficiency by one percent. For a 500 MW unit, this is worth $771,000 per year in fuel costs alone(10,

3339: Benchmark Study for a Line Modeled in ADINA (Stick Model) with Various Anti-Cascading Structures

The objectives of this project were to (1) assess the peak dynamic and residual static loads on the supporting structure in a transmission line due to a conductor’s rupture; (2) study the effect of flexibility of supporting structures in the transmission line on maximum dynamic impact and residual conductor loads; and (3) carry out a sensitivity study of various parameters, such as conductor tension, ice load, insulator string length, and type of terrain, on the peak dynamic and residual s

0316: CPF: On-Line Monitoring Systems: Assessment Report

To survive in today’s challenging marketplace, you need access to the right information – at the right time. Shrinking margins, higher production costs and the expense of regulatory compliance all squeeze profits. Survivors find new ways to improve productivity and safety.One key to survival is an advanced on-line monitoring system. In fact, one of the most data-intensive activities in many hydro plants is gathering data on unit operating parameters.

50104: Non-Wood Crossarm Electrical Testing Requirements

The project consisted of formulating a set of electrical performance based design tests that will help utilities in the writing of a future North American standard for rectangular-shaped non-wood or composite crossarms. Some possible modes and mechanisms associated with composite crossarms field failures are presented to help better understand reasons for formulating electrical design tests. The project scope included a brief literature review of available technical information to establish a ba

5071: Non-Destructive Condition Assessment of ACSR Distribution Conductors

This project, Phase 2, is a continuation of Phase 1 Non-Destructive Condition Assessment of ACSR Distribution Conductors – Phase 1 in 2003-04. Phase 1 work was completed in 2005 and is documented in CEATI Report T044700-5040. The objective of Phase 2 of the project was to develop a prototype device or to modify an existing device to inspect, in a practical manner, the condition of ACSR conductors on distribution lines. A prototype device has been re-engineered and fabricated based on infor

3370: New Structural Materials for Transmission Lines

Structures for overhead transmission lines are typically built with traditional materials such as wood, steel, aluminum, and concrete. The advantages of these materials are offset by a number of shortcomings, most notably age-related deterioration that may be exacerbated by exposure to aggressive environments, and increased life cycle costs. Transmission utilities are compelled to capitalize on advances in materials science and engineering by introducing novel materials and af
