Abstract

The boiler is a major component in a steam power plant because it converts feedwater into high-pressure and high-temperature steam for turbine operation. Boiler efficiency decreases when heat-transfer surfaces are dirty, combustion support equipment is not optimal, or operating instruments are inaccurate. This article evaluates the effect of overhaul on Boiler Unit 1 at PLTU Banjarsari using performance-test data at 125 MW. Two calculation approaches are used: the direct method and the indirect or heat-loss method. The direct-method efficiency increased from 67.65% before overhaul to 70.05% after overhaul, indicating a 2.40 percentage-point improvement. The indirect-method efficiency increased from 83.55% to 87.21%, indicating a 3.66 percentage-point improvement. The most relevant technical improvements were cleaning of boiler tubes, repair of a leaking superheater drain pipe, and calibration of the feedwater flow meter. The dry flue-gas loss decreased from 5.034% to 2.765%, while specific coal consumption decreased from 0.611 kg/kWh to 0.590 kg/kWh. These results show that overhaul improves heat utilization and supports more economical boiler operation.

Abstract

Co-firing is a practical approach to reduce coal dependency and improve environmental performance in existing coal-fired power plants. This paper evaluates 3% wood bark co-firing at Unit 2 of PLTU Teluk Balikpapan 2 x 110 MW, focusing on emissions, specific fuel consumption (SFC), and key operating parameters. The study compares baseline operation using 100% coal with operation using 97% coal and 3% wood bark. Fuel characteristics, boiler operating data, bottom ash observation, stack visual inspection, SFC calculation, and flue gas emission measurements are evaluated. Wood bark has lower sulfur content than coal, namely 0.13% compared with 0.59%, although its gross calorific value is lower. The co-firing test decreased SO2 emission from 246.7 mg/Nm3 to 190 mg/Nm3, equivalent to a reduction of 22.98%, while NOx increased from 285 mg/Nm3 to 307 mg/Nm3 but remained below the 550 mg/Nm3 emission limit. SFC changed slightly from 0.706 kg/kWh to 0.707 kg/kWh. Bed temperature decreased from 927.16 degC to 924.18 degC and FEGT decreased from 1013.78 degC to 1011.24 degC, indicating stable boiler operation. The test did not show black smoke, carry over, or significant agglomeration tendency. Therefore, 3% wood bark co-firing is technically feasible for emission reduction with limited impact on SFC.

Abstract

The boiler is the main component of a steam power plant because it converts feedwater into high-temperature and high-pressure steam for turbine operation. Boiler efficiency is affected by combustion quality, coal characteristics, air supply, heat-transfer cleanliness, and the condition of auxiliary equipment. This study evaluates the effect of overhaul on the efficiency of Boiler Unit 3 at UJP PLTU Banten 3 Lontar. The calculation uses performance-test data before and after overhaul at a 294 MW load. Two methods are applied: the direct or input-output method and the indirect or heat-loss method based on ASME PTC 4. The direct-method efficiency increased from 79.51% before overhaul to 79.68% after overhaul, equivalent to a 0.17 percentage-point improvement. The indirect-method efficiency increased from 81.85% to 82.61%, equivalent to a 0.76 percentage-point improvement. The reduction in dry flue-gas loss, hydrogen-moisture loss, coal-moisture loss, and air-moisture loss indicates that overhaul improves boiler heat utilization, especially through tube cleaning, air-preheater cleaning, and restoration of combustion-supporting equipment. The results confirm that scheduled overhaul can improve boiler performance and should be maintained as part of plant reliability management

Abstract

The drain TCA gate valve disk in Unit 3 of PLTGU Priok experienced material degradation dominated by corrosion. This study evaluates the influence of working-fluid temperature and pressure on disk damage using visual observation, metallographic testing, SEM-EDX characterization, Vickers hardness testing, operating-parameter calculation, and fishbone analysis. The investigated disk material was stainless steel SUS316. Metallographic observations showed ferrite and pearlite phases, local voids, and indications of decarburization near the grain boundary. SEM-EDX analysis identified C, N, O, and Fe with weight fractions of 6.87%, 0.50%, 0.72%, and 91.90%, respectively. The average hardness of the used disk was 192 HV, equivalent to about 190 HB and 92 HRB, while comparison with new disk data indicated a significant hardness reduction. Operating analysis showed that pressure increased from 16.57 bar to 18.23 bar and temperature increased from 464.8 deg C to 485 deg C when damage risk became critical. These results indicate that high pressure and temperature accelerate corrosion reactions, reduce material resistance, and shorten valve service life. Strict monitoring of pressure, temperature, cooling effectiveness, and material condition is therefore required

Abstract

  The low utilization of small-scale wind energy in urban residential areas requires a technical design approach that considers local wind speed, blade geometry, rotor configuration, and generator suitability. This paper analyzes a 0.3 kW horizontal-axis wind power design for the Grand Duta residential area, Tangerang, using the QBlade simulation approach. The design uses a three-blade horizontal rotor with a 2 m rotor radius, NACA 4412 airfoil, and taperless blade concept. Wind data were obtained from BMKG and direct anemometer measurements, then simplified into design parameters. The local average wind speed used in the design was approximately 4 m/s, with cut-in, rated, and cut-out references of 2.8 m/s, 8.0 m/s, and 12.0 m/s, respectively. The selected blade design used NACA 4412 with an optimum angle of attack of 6 degrees, Cl/Cd of 133.5, and Cl of 1.12. The QBlade simulation at 0 degree pitch showed that the rotor produced 252.676 W at 4 m/s and 300 rpm, while the maximum simulated power reached 2324 W at 20 m/s. At 6 degree pitch, the maximum simulated power reached 2837 W. The results indicate that the design is technically feasible as a small horizontal-axis wind turbine concept, although further prototype testing is required to validate structural strength, generator matching, and field performance.

Abstract

This study evaluates boiler efficiency in a pulverized-coal steam power plant during direct co-firing of sawdust biomass at PLTU Pacitan Unit 1. The analysis uses operational and performance-test data for coal firing and co-firing schemes with 1%, 2%, and 5% sawdust at approximately 295 MW load. Boiler efficiency was calculated using the indirect heat-loss method based on ASME PTC 4, supported by fuel ultimate and proximate analysis, heat-loss components, fuel rate, air-heater gas temperature, and emission measurements. The results show that increasing sawdust composition changes fuel characteristics, especially lower gross calorific value, lower sulfur and ash content, higher total moisture, and lower Hardgrove Grindability Index. Boiler efficiency on an LHV basis reached 91.96% for 100% coal, 92.61% for 1% sawdust, 92.30% for 2% sawdust, and 91.74% for 5% sawdust. At 5% co-firing, fuel consumption increased by about 1.19% compared with coal firing, while SO2, NOx, and particulate emissions decreased and remained below the regulatory limits. The study indicates that sawdust co-firing can support emission reduction, but boiler efficiency and fuel handling require continuous monitoring

Abstract

This study evaluates the operational effect of connecting PLTD Kamanggih to the Waingapu system through a 20 kV interconnection network. The study used operational, production, fuel, lubricant, cost, and system-capacity data from January 2023 to June 2024. The main indicators were Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC), Specific Lubricant Consumption (SLC), and Cost of Electricity Production (BPP). Before interconnection, PLTD Kamanggih had higher SFC, SLC, and BPP than PLTD Waingapu, namely 0.41661 liter/kWh, 0.00401 liter/kWh, and 5,785.48 Rp/kWh, while PLTD Waingapu recorded 0.27945 liter/kWh, 0.00012 liter/kWh, and 3,160.71 Rp/kWh. After the interconnection, Kamanggih's 0.114 MW load was supplied by the Waingapu system, which still had sufficient available capacity. The best comparison occurred between the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024, where SFC decreased by 0.00729 liter/kWh or 2.59%, SLC decreased by 0.00012 liter/kWh or 73.94%, and BPP decreased by 87.57 Rp/kWh or 2.63%. The result indicates that 20 kV interconnection is effective as a dedieselization strategy to improve operational efficiency, reduce isolated diesel operation, and lower electricity production cost.
