The Mechanisms of Performance Degradation in Gas Turbines
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes a rational approach to minimizing degradation. It involves three elements. The first is quantifying and trending the degradation of the components that make up the gas turbine. The second is determining how much this degradation is impairing heat rate and capacity. The third, and perhaps most important, is to identify the physical changes in the gas turbine hardware that are causing the degradation.

Gas Turbine Degradation
There is a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control performance degradation, as this directly affects profitability. The area of gas turbine recoverable and non-recoverable performance degradation will be comprehensively treated in this tutorial. Deterioration mechanisms including compressor and turbine fouling, erosion, increased clearances, and seal distress will be ...

Gas turbines play an important role in supplying power for the country especially in peak electricity load. The main disadvantages are the turbines, they produce large changes are a result of climate change. However, in times of peak electricity grid and at the same time warm months, can produce gas turbines under the effect of ambient temperature, the amount of reduced considerably. The method...

This paper reviewed over 100 articles on the subject of the mechanism of catalyst layer (CL) degradation and the effect of various contaminations in the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Also the recovery of PEMFC via different types of methods, the causes and fundamental mechanisms of cell degradation and their influence on long- term performance of PEM fuel cell were discussed i...
متن کاملAnalysis of micro-recuperators in small-sized gas turbines –manufacturing potential of Iran
Heat recuperation is often used to improve the overall cycle efficiency of gas turbines. However, generally in small- scale gas turbines, it has a negative effect on turbine inlet temperature, pressure ratio and pressure drops, and thus decreases the overall cycle efficiency. In this paper, a thermodynamic model is performed to evaluate recovered heat as a function of heat exchanger effecti...
