combined cycle performance can be improved by improving the performance of gas turbine based topping cycle. amongst various options the effective cooling of gas turbine blade for realizing the higher turbine inlet temperatures is one of the attractive options. the present paper deals with the thermodynam-ic analysis of advanced technology gas/steam combined cycle based power plant having closed...

A power criterion for selecting the electric motor used in a gas turbine emulator is defined. The power criterion is derived in terms of the ratio of inertias between the gas turbine engine and the electric motor, rotational losses and load torque. The gas turbine emulator allows emulating the speed-torque behavior of a gas turbine engine. Using simulation models, we show that the steady-state ...

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 ...

Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) integrates two cyclesBrayton cycle (Gas Turbine) and Rankine cycle (Steam Turbine) with the objective of increasing overall plant efficiency. In modern gas turbine the temperature of the exhaust gases is in the range of 500 oC to 550 oC. Modern steam power plants have steam temperature in the range of 500 oC to 630 oC. Hence gas turbine exhaust can be utilized ...

The efficiency and output power of gas turbine power plants are heavily affected by ambient air temperature. To compensate this defect, some cooling technologies and technics are applied. In this paper, the effect of applying an absorption chiller by recovering waste heat from gas turbine flue gas has been investigated. For this purpose, the behavior of a GE-F5 gas turbine was modeled by coding...

A method for purifying the gas-air mixture of a gas turbine unit and waste-heat boiler is considered [1-3]. This work describes principle gas-turbine plant operation using catalytic afterburner, with help which more complete process carbon dioxide nitrogenous compounds release occurs. Also, as result exhaust deeper cleaning process, there decrease in emissions within maximum admissible concentr...

The method of the gas turbine unit and waste heat boiler gas-air duct circuit modernization is considered. operation scheme a with use catalytic afterburner has been shown. There also decrease in nitrogen carbon oxides exhaust steam-and-gas mixture due to deeper cleaning process steam mixture, which leads an increase service life [1]. A more complete transfer coolant furnace section performed c...

The results of strength and gas dynamic improvement of turbocharger TK-32 axial turbine are presented. Turbocharger was manufactured by LLC “Penzadieselmash” (Penza, Russian) and is used as unit boost for diesel locomotive. The goal of this work was to ensure turbine work capacity when rotor speed is increased by 10% without efficiency reduction. The strain-stress state analysis indicated the r...
