Ultra Micro Gas Turbines

Micro Power Generation Based on Micro Gas Turbines: a Challenge

Introduction The current trend towards miniaturization, portability and, more generally, ubiquitous intelligence has led to the development of a wide range of new products such as laptops, cellular phones, PDAs, etc. However, the power requirements of such systems have received much less attention: typically, traditional battery-operated electronic systems are used. Nevertheless, the energy den...

Analysis on using biomass lean syngas in micro gas turbines

The paper presents an analysis on small systems for converting biomass/wastes into power using Micro Gas Turbines (MGT) fed with gaseous bio-fuels produced by airgasification. The MGT is designed for burning various fossil liquid and gas fuels, having catalogue data related to natural gas use. Fuel switch changes their performances. The present work is focused on adapting the MGT for burning al...

Aero-Thermal Research Particulars in Ultra-Micro Gas Turbines

Aerodynamics in turbo-components and matched combustor characteristics relating to the design of ultramicro gas turbines (UMGT) were presented. Some detailed analysis were provided for the effects of heat transfer, tip clearance and geometrical restriction imposed to UMGT flow passages, as well as a leading concept of combustor design to achieve micro flame structure for enhanced efficiency and...

Impact of Ambient Conditions of Arab Gulf Countries on the Performance of Gas Turbines Using Energy and Exergy Analysis

In this paper, energy and exergy analysis of typical gas turbines is performed using average hourly temperature and relative humidity for selected Gulf cities located in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar. A typical gas turbine unit of 42 MW is considered in this study. The electricity production, thermal efficiency, fuel consumption differences between the ISO ...
