eSTPE & eSTPEplus
Steam Turbine Performance Evaluation Software
for
Fossil and Nuclear Cycles
eSTPE™ and eSTPEplus™ have been designed to evaluate the performance of a steam turbine and the economic impact of steam turbine components deterioration. The goal is to reveal all power and efficiency (heat rate) losses which occur in the turbine steam path and to give the user the information needed to make well-informed maintenance decisions. These programs are fully compatible with Windows 95 or greater operating systems.
The eSTPE™ / eSTPEplus™ programs provide the ability to:
Make economic decisions during the repair outage
Prioritize maintenance decisions on a benefit-to-cost ratio
Identify and quantify all turbine steam path losses due to:
Excess leakages past:
interstage packings
end packings
tip spill strips
root spill strips
other miscellaneous leakages
Flow path damage from solid particle erosion, deposits and foreign object damage
Increased surface roughness, cover deposits and trailing edge thickness
Analyze specific problem areas within the turbine steam path
Quantify heat rate, power and efficiency impact on a component-by-component basis
Quantify the quality of turbine repairs by performing a closing steam path audit
Evaluate the economics of turbine repairs and component upgrades
The two programs offer the same capabilities, except in one area: model building. eSTPEplus™ gives the user the ability to create new models and modify the design of existing models. eSTPE™ uses models created by ENCOTECH™. Due to the overlap in these two programs, only one demo is available to provide the user with an understanding of the capabilities and functionality of this program.
Included with your purchase of eSTPE/eSTPEplus is 8 hours of technical support and any upgrades made in the first year. Custom built models can be created by ENCOTECH™ and purchased separately. Custom training sessions on "building models" and "program use" are also available separately.
