This work presents a strategy for dispatching production references to the individual turbines in a wind farm, such that an overall production demand for the farm is obeyed, while the fatigue experienced by the turbines is minimized. Using a turbine fatigue model for simulating the aging across the farm, we show that a 17 % reduction of the turbine aging can be obtained compared to a commonly e...

In this study, detection and identification of common faults in industrial gas turbines is investigated. We propose a model-based robust fault detection(FD) method based on multiple models. For residual generation a bank of Local Linear Neuro-Fuzzy (LLNF) models is used. Moreover, in fault detection step, a passive approach based on adaptive threshold is employed. To achieve this purpose, the a...

Executive Summary 3 Thermal barrier coating (TBC) ceramic topcoats made from Y 2 O 3-stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ) have been used successfully in gas-turbine engine applications for more than 30 years. YSZ derives its favorable performance from a combination of properties that include low thermal conductivity, high thermal expansion coefficient, and phase stability to relatively high temperatures. Wit...

Three combined power and refrigeration system are introduced to compare and analyze for a defined demand and same fuel consumption based on thermodynamic parameters in a 24 hours period. Gas turbine and/or steam turbine are used for power generation and also ejector refrigeration cycle is used to produce cooling. These three systems are named as GER, SER and GSER. The results of three systems a...

While efficiency is still the major driver in combined cycle power plant design, there is an increasing need for operational flexibility along with additional operating cost reduction. nightly and weekend shutdowns and subsequent start-up capabilities should be considered during the overall evaluation of a power plant. Technological advancements in power plant design involving gas and steam tur...

Gas turbine engines are used in a variety of power generation applications, including providing thrust for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, turning electrical generators in combined-cycle power plants, and powering the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. In the high-temperature region of the turbine section, a complex vortical (swirling) flow present near the junction of a turbine airfoil an...

The aeroderivate gas turbines are widely used for power generation in the oil and gas industry. In offshore marine platforms, the aeroderivative gas turbines provide the energy required to drive mechanically compressors, pumps and electric generators. Therefore, the study of the performance of aeroderivate gas turbines based on a parametric analysis is relevant to carry out a diagnostic of the ...

Air pollution can have detrimental effects on combustion engine performance leading to blade fouling which reduces power output and requires frequent cleanings. This issue is a fairly well-known phenomenon in the power industry. However, site selection for gas turbine installation is rarely part of the decision making process, mainly due to lack of site selection options especially in an urban ...
