Heat Recovery Steam Generator Improvement

Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics Capstone Senior Design Team: Heat Recovery Steam Generator Improvement

Team Members: David Bayer, Jordan Jackola, Jani Lane, and

Michael Pristov, Mechanical Engineering

Advisor: Jaclyn Johnson, Mechanical Engineering-

Engineering Mechanics

Sponsor: DTE Energy

 

Project Overview:

DTE Energy is partnering with Michigan Tech to

create a series of senior design teams. Each team

will be researching specific aspects of the design,

operation, and maintenance of combined cycle

power plants. This project team is the first in a fiveteam

series and is focusing on the thermodynamic

and thermoeconomic analysis of the heat recovery

steam generator performance within the combined

cycle. In particular, our team investigated the effects

of ambient environmental conditions and load

requirements on the plant efficiency and operations.

The combined team efforts will be used to improve

the design and operations of DTE Energy’s future

power plants.
