Material specification for components in fossil-fired power plants
Ref.-Ordering Number: VGB-S-109-00-2012-08-DE-ENThe VGB directive R 109 "Material specification for components under pressure in fossil-fired power plants" applies to the steam boiler assembly and pipelines of the water/ steam circulation. It shall clearly determine the delivery contract and the subsequent contract administration between customer, manufacturer and material manufacturer or supplier and thus enable a rationalisation of the order and order processing. The material specification provides a collection of experiences and recommendations compiled to the best of knowledge and coordinated between the parties involved in the construction of the power plant. It intends to summarise the requirements on material manufacturers or suppliers and on the provision of materials for pressure equipment usually used in the 600 °C power plant generation to facilitate the order basis between the parties involved. Regulations from data sheets and directives exceeding the requirement of the EN standards, were textually integrated to a large extent.
The Guideline was revised and the chapter 14 "Requirements on filler material" added.
The Guideline is bilingual (German/English).

Joachim Gebel, PhD, and Süleyman Yüce, PhD
Within the next years keywords such as water scarcity, water pollution and water aid projects will become more and more familiar to the broad public as well as put into focus. On the Global Environment Day in Beirut 2003, it was reported that the available water quantity per person in the MENA region (Middle East North Africa) in 1960 averaged out to 3,300 cubic metres. In 2003, this quantity had decreased to only 1,200 cubic metres. Water projects are discussed and realised all over the world. Already today water supply is closely connected to politics. In the future, the distribution of the limited water resources will depend worldwide on the sense of responsibility of international politics and the globalized society.

Reliability indicators with KISSY new data 2009 to 2020 - A vgbe & DNV project
Ref.-Ordering Number: DNV-VGBE-23-0027Failures in power plants can be costly and efforts should be directed to prevent such events. Methods using Reliability Availability Maintainability (RAM) tools are well known to answer questions on target values for reliability and availability of a plant, capacity expansion planning, optimum redundancy, maintenance optimisation, spare parts management etc.. This report is available as an electronic PDF-document (ebook) of 1,167 pages. The largest part of the report consists of evaluations of various components that are identified by the power plant identification system (based and referenced on Kraftwerk-Kennzeichensystem – KKS function keys) and are used in different types of power plants (hard coal and lignite-fired power plants as well as combined cycle plants). ----- Ungeplante Ausfälle in Kraftwerken können kostspielig sein. Daher sollten diese vermieden werden. Dafür geeignete Methoden, die Reliability-Availability-Maintainability (RAM)-Tools verwenden, sind bekannt und werden angewendet. Sie liefern Hinweise und Ergebnisse, um die Zuverlässigkeit und Verfügbarkeit einer Anlage, die Planung von Kapazitätserweiterungen, optimale Redundanzen, die Instandhaltung, das Ersatzteilmanagement usw. zu optimieren. Solche RAM-Tools benötigen jedoch verlässliche Zuverlässigkeitsdaten. Nur wenige Projekte unterstützen die Erhebung solcher Daten, auch weltweit und vor allem über einen längeren Zeitraum. Dieser Bericht ist als elektronisches PDF-Dokument (ebook) mit 1.167 Seiten verfügbar. Der größte Teil des Berichts besteht aus Auswertungen verschiedener Komponenten, die durch das Kraftwerkskennzeichensystem (KKS) festgelegt werden und in unterschiedlichen Kraftwerkstypen (Steinkohle- und Braunkohlekraftwerken sowie GuD-Anlagen) eingesetzt werden. -

Operation of steam boiler installations Demands on the operator for the operation of steam boiler installations of categories III (from 1,000 bar/liter) and IV - Print
Ref.-Ordering Number: VGB-S-031-00-2012-08-ENWhen the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) of 27 September 2002 came into effect, it marked a paradigm change in the technical rules for the operation of installations subject to monitoring. A hazard-related set of rules entered into force, taking the place of a previously installation-specific set of rules, which, for example, the Technische Regeln Dampfkessel (TRD – Technical Rules for Steam Boilers) was for steam boiler plants.

Fire Protection in Onshore Wind Turbines - Print
Ref.-Ordering Number: VGB-S-017-00-2018-09-ENFire-fighting operations by fire brigades in onshore wind turbines are almost impossible because of their height and resulting difficulty of accessing them. For this reason, fire prevention, early detection and early fighting of a fire, and the self-rescue of persons present in the installations during a fire are key considerations.

Modelling primary NOx and primary N2O of Pulverised, Fuel Combustion and Circulating Fluidised Bed Combustion (Frans van Dijen) - Print
Ref.-Ordering Number: B15Excl. Tax: €91.59 Incl. Tax: €98.00ABSTRACT
With more stringent emission limits with time, including NOx and N2O, and due to the high costs of secondary measures for NOx emissions reduction, knowledge of primary NOx and primary N2O is very important. With this knowledge, primary NOx and primary N2O can be reduced at low costs and in this way costs for secondary measures are much reduced as well. By applying the knowledge presented, the project costs of a CFBC plant can be lower than those of a PFC plant.
Knowledge regarding primary NOx and primary N2O, and their models, is useful for operators of PFC and CFBC regarding the influence of (the change of):
- Fuel, with PFC and CFBC
- Lambda, with PFC and CFBC
- Temperature, with CFBC
- Addition of limestone to the bed, with CFBC.
Knowledge regarding primary NOx and primary N2O, and their models, is useful for suppliers of boilers, burners, etcetera, regarding the influence of (the change of):
- Design, with PFC and CFBC
- Fuels and fuel flexibility, with PFC and CFBC
- Conversion of the boiler for other fuels, with PFC and CFBC
- Developing assisting systems / software, with PFC and CFBC
- Temperature, with CFBC
- Addition of limestone to the bed, with CFBC.
With this thesis, the mathematical models of primary NOx of CFBC, primary NOx of PFC and primary N2O of CFBC were improved. The models are based on chemical aspects, such as thermodynamics, kinetics and reaction mechanisms.
