Abstract

Steam Power Plant generates electricity due to a device that extracts heat energy from steam and converts it into mechanical work on the rotor. Turbines operate at high pressures and temperatures which may cause potential failures in the rotor. This study aims to determine the stress distribution on the turbine rotor to predict potential failures. The turbine studied is a 15 MW steam turbine with a rotation speed of 3000 rpm, inlet steam pressure of 2 MPa, and inlet steam temperature of 471.2 OC. The study focused on the Curtis stage. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation was performed to determine the interaction between the fluid and the turbine rotor. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) was performed to determine the temperature and pressure hitting the rotor. The temperature and pressure distribution data from the CFD simulation is transferred to the structural simulation as the load received by the rotor. In addition to fluid loads, the rotor experiences centrifugal loads due to rotation and gravity loads. The largest stress received by the turbine rotor is at the front of the rotor with a stress of 347.39 MPa.

Abstract

Development of technology allows stress analysis of steam turbine rotor to be performed non-experimentally using Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation. FSI modeling requires high computational power and a long time to complete. In this study, a symmetric model is used to reduce the computational time. The part size of the symmetric model is investigated for its influence on the FSI simulation results. The full, 1/5, 1/30, and 1 blade models were investigated. Fluid domain is solved by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation. Afterwards, pressure and temperature distributions are mapped to the structural simulation to determine the structural response in terms of stresses. The pressure distribution, temperature distribution, and stress distribution of each model were compared. The contours of pressure distribution, temperature distribution, and stress distribution have the same trend for all models. The pressure and stress value on sharp shape of the blade tip is slight difference due to insufficient number of elements.
