Abstract

PT PLN IP Teluk Sirih is a coal-fired steam power plant that supplies electricity to the West Sumatra region. In steam power plants, the High Pressure Heater (HPH) functions as a heat exchanger that preheats feedwater before entering the boiler by utilizing extraction steam from  turbine. Damage or performance degradation of the HPH can reduce its effectiveness and lifespan, decrease feedwater temperature, increase the required heating in  boiler, raise fuel consumption, and ultimately lower the overall efficiency of the power plant cycle. Therefore, this study aims to determine the efficiency of HPH at PT PLN IP Teluk Sirih Unit 2 in order to support proper maintenance planning and reduce operational costs. The research employs a quantitative method with a descriptive–analytical approach using actual operational data obtained from the Distributed Control System (DCS) of PLTU Teluk Sirih Unit 2. The efficiency of HPH is calculated by comparing the heat released by the steam  and the heat absorbed by the feedwater  or HPH 1 and HPH 2. The variables used include the feedwater inlet temperatures of 192.9 °C for HPH 1 and 141.5 °C for HPH 2. The results show that the efficiency of HPH 1 is 91.26%, while the efficiency of HPH 2 is 88.11%. For HPH 1,  and  are 49,552,500 kJ/h and 54,297,300 kJ/h, respectively, whereas for HPH 2,  and  are 71,613,300 kJ/h and 81,288,480 kJ/h. These results indicate that a higher inlet temperature leads to a greater ratio between  and  , and consequently to a higher HPH efficiency.

Abstract

Energy is a resource that can be used to perform various tasks, including fuel, electricity, mechanical energy, and heat. With technological advances and global economic development, the demand for electricity will continue to increase. This drives various research efforts towards alternative energy sources, ranging from the development of existing tools to the creation of new innovations. Wind turbines work by utilizing the kinetic energy of the wind flow to rotate the blades, which are then converted into electrical energy through a generator system. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of curvature shape on the Lift Coefficient (Cl), Drag Coefficient (Cd), and Power Coefficient (Cp) of vertical axis wind turbine blades. Simulations were carried out in 3D using ANSYS Fluent software and the SST turbulence model, with wind speeds ranging from 4 to 7 m/s. The aerodynamic profiles analyzed were NACA 0015, NACA 4415, and NACA 7510. Aerodynamic simulations of vertical axis wind turbines were carried out using a steady-state approach with a multi-reference frame (MRF) rotation model to obtain the average aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor. The simulation results show that NACA 4415 produces the best Cl value with relatively controlled Cd, while NACA 0015 shows the worst aerodynamic performance. NACA 7510 produces the highest Cp value at all wind speed variations, despite low Cl and high Cd values, indicating that the drag mechanism dominates torque generation at low speeds.
