Welding and microstructure evolution in power generation plant

wind farm impact on generation adequacy in power systems

در سال های اخیر به دلیل افزایش دمای متوسط کره زمین، بشر به دنبال روش های جایگزین برای تامین توان الکتریکی مورد نیاز خود بوده و همچنین در اکثر نقاط جهان سوزاندن سوخت های فسیلی در نیروگاه های حرارتی به عنوان مهم ترین روش تولید توان الکتریکی مطرح بوده است. به دلیل توجه به مسایل زیست محیطی، استفاده از منابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در سال های اخیر شدت یافته است. نیروگاه های بادی به عنوان یک منبع تولید توان...

Welding residual stresses in ferritic power plant steels

Many of the degradation mechanisms relevant to power plant components can be exacerbated by stresses that reside within the material. Good design or structural integrity assessments require therefore, an accounting of residual stresses, which often are introduced during welding. To do this it is necessary to characterise the stresses, but this may not be possible in thick components using non-d...

Performance Modeling of Power Generation System of a Thermal Plant

The present paper discusses the development of a performance model of power generation system of a thermal plant for performance evaluation using Markov technique and probabilistic approach. The study covers two areas: development of a predictive model and evaluation of performance with the help of developed model. The present system of thermal plant under study consists of four subsystems with...

Finite element simulation of microstructure evolution during friction stir welding of automotive aluminum parts

7000 series Aluminum alloys are widely used in the automotive industries for structural lightweight components due to their exceptional high strength to weight ratio. However, this class of aluminum alloy is difficult to join by conventional fusion welding techniques so Friction stir welding (FSW) widely is used for welding this alloys. The process has been demonstrated to be effective and is c...
