CHALLENGE
Like many plants, Bandirma-1 Combined Cycle Power Plant faced challenges from the penetration of renewable energy inthe Turkish power market. It was originally designed for base-load operation but began operating at partial load more often.
The plant needed to operate more flexibly and find other ways to drive revenue.

SOLUTION
Three digital upgrades were chosen for
Performance Improvement and FlexibleOperation. Ramp rate maximizationand power augmentation were applied in 2014 and 2015 togive the plant more secondary frequency control reserve
capacity to earn the plant additional income. Ramp rate
maximization is used to improve gas turbine ramp-up rate.
Power augmentation is used to improve the combined cycle
ramp-up rate while under frequency control. It regulates
the increase of gas turbine airflow to compensate for thesteam turbine load-up delay in a two-on-one
configuration. These solutions increase the opportunity forrevenue from ancillary services markets.
The TOMONI IGV Optimization Solution was implemented
in April 2017 to improve partial load efficiency. It combines
hardware modifications with new digital control strategies
to more precisely control inlet guide vane (IGV) closing
to maximize exhaust temperature at partial loads while
maintaining combustion stability.

RESULT
These modifications increased Bandirma-1’s revenue
from ancillary services markets and average efficiency,saving fuel costs. The pairing of ramp rate maximizationand power augmentation allowed the plant to earn anaverage of US$650,000 of additional income annually.
IGV Optimization reduced fuel consumption, which led
to a savings of US$230,000 annually.
