Configuration of Modern Steam Power Plants

Ploin Processes High-Pressure-High-Temperature Plants 

The water/steam side of a steam power plant normally consists of the following key components  

At first, the condensate is extracted from the condenser at a pressure of about 2-6 kPa, before being transferred by the condensate pump to the feedwater tank through the four-stage LP preheat train. The LP preheat train represents the first part of the preheat system, comprising a total of eight stages. For preheating purposes, steam from the IP and LP turbines is extracted at different pressure
