I am new to this forum. We are ask by our company to create a project for improvement of our coal fired power plant.

Our group decided to submit a proposal that would modify the lubricating system of the turbine generator. Our modification would be to add a gravity feed oil tank to the lubricating system. The current system consists only 3 oil pumps namely, shaft driven main oil pump, auxiliary oil pump, emergency oil pump.

I just want to ask if what is the additional cost in adding the gravity oil feed pump? The advantages and disadvantages of this modification?? thanks..
