Power system is a combination of a number of sources and loads properly linked by a transmission system. The source is a generating system fueled by renewable or non renewable system where bio mass fuel is used to generate electric power. Due to low levels of bio fuel availability, the gas turbine system is considered as a weak system when compared to thermal and hydro systems. However, stable ...

The purpose of introducing a combined cycle with gas turbine in power plants is to reduce losses of energy, by effectively using exhaust gases from the gas turbine to produce additional electricity or process. The efficiency of a combined power plant with the gas turbine increases, exceeding 50%, while the efficiency of traditional steam turbine plants is approximately 35% to 40%. Up to the pre...

Development of robust and highly sensitive algorithms for detecting incipient bearing faults in gas turbine engines will greatly benefit both military and civil aviation through improved aircraft reliability and maintainability. Techniques including advanced vibration analysis and oil debris monitoring have proven effective in laboratory and industrial settings, but factors including poor trans...

At Stora Enso Fine Paper Nymölla Mill there is a wish to reduce its dependency on external produced electric power. One suggestion that has been made is to install a hot air gas turbine. The purpose of this thesis is to see if it is thermodynamic and economical to go through with the project with the hot air gas turbine. It is of great importance that the boiler-process remains as unchanged as ...

This study evaluates the performance of a molten carbonate fuel cell and micro gas turbine (MCFC/MGT) hybrid power system bi-fueled by city gas and biogas. The performance of the MCFC/MGT hybrid power system and MFCF/MGT hybrid power system response have been investigated experimentally and numerically. Results show that the MCFC, steam reformer, and catalytic combustor models are in agreement ...

If this sounds like your legacy turbine control system, we are here to help. Our fully integrated gas turbine control solution is an open system that provides the freedom to take true ownership of the operation, improve starting reliability, and prolong equipment life span. Through a recent partnership, our gas turbine solution has been further enhanced with dry low NOx (DLN) control expertise....

The gas-steam turbine combined cycle (GTCC) is the preferred power plant type because of its high efficiency and its use of cheap and clean natural gas as fuel. It is also the preferred type in the Arab Gulf countries where it is used as cogeneration power-desalting plant (CPDP). In this chapter, descriptions and analysis of the GTCC components are presented, namely, the gas turbine cycle (comp...

Nearly two billion people worldwide have no reliable access to electricity, a vital part of the path to development. Micro wind power is one promising solution. Micro wind installations offer environmental sustainability, low capital costs, and excellent adaptability to diverse environmental and cultural situations. Yet, electrification projects in the developing world, including small-scale wi...
