Application of a comprehensive methodology to optimize the flow paths of steam turbines

Abstract

The article describes the effectiveness of the application of a comprehensive methodology in the modernization of the flow parts of steam turbines. The above methodology makes it possible to increase the absolute efficiency by 0.83%, and the turbine power by 1.87% due to the use of an object-oriented approach. The use of recursive traversal of various optimization levels for information exchange between objects allows finding an optimal solution for a large number of design parameters.
