It is proven that the code developed can be used to design and analyze the thermal-hydraulic behavior. The model is verified with the design results of design code SG-33 and CEFR. Equal node enthalpy increment in a region is applied to enhance the numerical accuracy. The characteristic tube is divided into four regions: subcooled region, nucleate boiling region, film boiling region and superheated region. A steady-state thermal-hydraulic model is derived based on the mass, energy and momentum equations. Therefore, a suitable thermal-hydraulic code is necessary to assist its design and analysis. It is challenging to design such a steam generator. Phase change exists in the water/steam side and the thermal-hydraulic behavior is difficult to predict. The CFR600 steam generator with straight tubes consists of the evaporator and the superheater. Lots of efforts are being made to its Research and Development (R&D). It was transported to Moerdijk by boat and on a low-loader for the final kilometres.China Fast Reactor (CFR) with 600 MW electric power is under development in China. The turbine was built in Görlitz, not far from Dresden, near the Czech border. Within the Energy-from-Waste sector, this steam-turbine generator is one of the largest in the world. This concrete slab rests on eight concrete pillars with large elastic systems in between to absorb any turbine vibrations. The steam-turbine generator stands on a concrete slab that is 2.5m thick. Both components form the heart of the steam-turbine generator that will supply more than 120 MW of energy, which is more than enough to cover the energy needs of 250,000 households.
This component weighs 163 tonnes and was positioned by using the same method.
The generator was positioned on the same day. The turbine weighs 159 tonnes and was hoisted by two cranes onto a rail construction and driven to its place along those rails. On 20 October 2016, the newly constructed steam turbine was positioned in the turbine building. We designed the plant in such a manner that we obtain the maximum energetic efficiency from the steam. The plant will supply 120 megawatt to the grid and that is sufficient to cover the electricity consumption of more than 250,000 households a year. Facilities are also required for connecting to the national grid and there will be other additional work. Apart from constructing a steam-turbine generator that produces energy, there will also be facilities for receiving and discharging the cooling water. The new turbine building is right in front of the existing plant. It takes account of supplying heat to nearby businesses and to future thermal energy grids. The new steam-turbine generator will be integrated fully into the existing Energy-from-Waste plant. By building its own station, Attero continues to supply sustainable energy and we can continue to supply electricity and heat to third parties. The contract expires and there have been no possibilities to renew it. Attero is building its own steam turbine, because from the end of 2017 steam can no longer be supplied to the adjacent power station. It is one of the most energy efficient Energy-from-waste plants in the Netherlands and the only one to produce high-pressure steam. Since 1997, Attero has produced sustainable energy at its Energy-from-Waste plant in Moerdijk.
