Abstract

Indonesian electricity demand increased an average 8.3 % every year, from 236 TWh in 2017 to 480 TWh in 2026, this causes the state-owned electricity generation company looking for efficient, reliable, economical and clean power plant. Hence various Steam Power Plants (PLTU), and other power plants are built with the latest technology as part of the national strategic program of 35,000 MW by the Indonesian government. The construction of a USC power plant in western Java can also overcome power unbalances that could potentially result in blackout electrical power in the electricity Java grid system. The state-owned electricity generation company is managing a project for the construction of the PLTU USC 2 × 1000 MW in Banten, so the authors need to observe the flue gas flow characteristics and heat transfer process of the boiler with the latest technology. Steam Generators with the latest technology of this kind will be increasingly developed in Indonesia and other countries in the future. The boiler data generally refers to the feasibility study, bidding document and documents related to the PLTU that is currently in a construction project, this thesis uses a numerical approach to Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) to obtain the characteristics of flue gas flow and heat transfer from flue gas to the boiler tube on the superheater and modeling the heat transfer process from the flue gas to the tube boiler and the distribution of the regulation in various conditions that will be used as a reference evaluating the boiler detail design Ultra Super Critical Coal-Fired Power Plant (USC CFPP), This research results obtained the highest temperature in the superheater tube 1 is at 30 degree on tube 4 and the lowest on tube 5 at 120 degree. In superheater tube 2, the highest temperature on tube 5 at 30 degree and the lowest on tube 5 at 210 degree flue gas velocity at the inlet around the superheater 1 tube lower than at the outlet side Conversely in the area around the superheater 2 tube, the inlet side velocity is higher than the outlet side, due to the boiler nose.
