Steam Engine Plants TRIZ Cases

A variable feedwater heating system adjusts final feedwater temperature using multiple valved steam extraction ports on a turbine.

Thermocline array segments pressure vessels to isolate thermal energy transfer, reducing energy consumption by pressurizing only active units.

A dual-coil electro-mechanical actuator drives steam turbine control valves using primary and secondary coils powered by independent UPS sources.

A continuous system converts tree waste into electricity using shear stations and pulverizing mechanisms.

Dynamic condition-based testing extends maintenance intervals and reduces mechanical stress by adapting test frequency to actual component wear.

A Kalina cycle system converts low-grade waste heat into carbon-free power using an ammonia-water working fluid mixture.

An intermediate fluid mediates heat transfer from high-grade sources, preventing organic fluid ignition while utilizing low-grade waste heat.

A wet steam Rankine cycle uses a positive displacement expander to generate mechanical power from exhaust gases.

A heat engine uses a common prestressing fluid to act on multiple cylinder-piston units for synchronized mechanical movement.

A supercritical steam turbine maintains higher base load pressure to sustain thermal efficiency during reduced capacity operation.

Dynamic simulation of generating units evaluates competing operating modes against cost functions and ambient forecasts to resolve efficiency trade-offs.

A thermal accumulator assembly integrates an expander generator within a hermetically sealed housing to process two-phase coolant vapor.
