地热电站凝汽器运行压力优选Optimization of Operating Pressure for the Steam Condenser in a Geothermal Power Plant

Abstract: Due to the relatively low thermal efficiency of geothermal power plant, the steam condenser in a geothermal power plant is more important than that in a fire power plant. This paper analyzed the effect of operating parameters of steam condenser on the performance of a geothermal power plant. Based on the inlet steam parameters of one wellhead power plant located in Kenya, the net output power was computed and analyzed at different condensation pressures, and the optimum operating pressure for the steam condenser was presented. This investigation will provide a scientific base for the selection of optimum operating pressures of the steam condenser in geothermal power plants.
