    D11 HP/IP Enhanced


    Steam Path
    Today’s energy market has placed increased importance on
    generation from combined cycle power plants. Unit availability
    and component reliability of the steam turbine fleet are key
    focus areas for owners. In addition, many of these units have
    seen significant start/stop cycles which can lead to greater
    than normal distortion, wear and performance deterioration.
    A number of Technical Information Letters (TILs) have been
    issued to address concerns with various components of the
    High Pressure and Intermediate Pressure turbine sections of
    these units. These TILs address diaphragm dishing as well
    as shell and N2 packing head cracking. Bowing of rotors is
