B -- THERMODYNAMIC MODELING IN SUPPORT OF FOSSIL PLANT CAPACITY INCREASES THROUGH IMPROVED EFFICIENCY HP TURBINE UPGRADES. SOL PW-232229 POC Martha F. Stanphill, 3J Lookout Place, Phone: 423-751-7813, Fax: 423-751-4619 E-MAIL: Martha F. Stanphill, mfstanphill@tva.gov. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is investigating capacity increases on its largest coal-fired units through improved efficiency HP turbine upgrades. The project will consist of evaluation of the impact of the proposed upgrades on unit operation, reliability, and performance by use of SYNTHA II computer models of the turbine cycle and steam generator. In order to be considered, offerors must have their own copy of SYNTHA II software; must have demonstrated extensive experience in modeling and using SYNTHA II; must have demonstrated experience modeling extracting boiler feed pump turbines; and must have demonstrated the capacity to develop and run models with no assistance from TVA. The work is expected to commence in May 1998. Issue date for solicitation will be on or about 4/6/98. Proposal opening date will be on or about 4/20/98. (0079)
