Title: Repowering pays off for utility and industrial plants
Abstract: Repowering of existing conventional and gas turbine plants is emerging as a viable means of meeting short-term power needs of utilities. Repowering is broadly defined to include steam turbine repowering, in which gas turbines and new heat recovery boilers are added to an existing steam electric generating plant; boiler repowering, in which gas turbines are added to the existing steam generating facilities for power generation, requiring the conversion of existing conventional boilers to heat recovery type boilers; and gas turbine repowering, in which a steam generating plant is added to an existing gas turbine plant. Advantages, feasibility, and economics are discussed and five case studies described. (MCW)
