Abstract
Steam cycle performance is impacted by numerous design and operating parameters. The operating parameters include, among others, main steam pressure and temperature, re-heater system pressure drop, reheat temperature, and turbine back pressure. Cycle performance is also impacted by numerous design decisions made for a new power plant. This chapter evaluates the performance impacts of the design and operating parameters on power station steam cycles and describes how these impacts can be reflected in changes in steam cycle mass and energy balances.
