Gas Turbine Plant

Trends towards distributed power generation and the deregulation of energy markets are increasing the requirement for software tools that optimize power generation plant design and operation. In this context, this paper describes the GTPOM (thermo-economic optimization of whole gas turbine plant) European project, funded in part through the European Commission’s 5th Framework Programme, focusing on the development and demonstration of an original software tool for the thermo-economic analysis and optimization of conventional and advanced energy systems based on gas turbine plant. PSEconomy, the software tool developed during the GTPOM project, provides a thermo-economic optimization capability for advanced and more-conventional energy systems, enabling the complex trade-offs between system performance and installed costs to be determined for different operational duties and market scenarios. Furthermore, the code is capable of determining the potential benefits of innovative cycles or layout modifications to existing plants compared with current plant configurations. The economic assessment is performed through a complete through-life cycle cost analysis, which includes the total capital cost of the plant, the cost of fuel, O&M costs and the expected revenues from the sale of power and heat. The optimization process, carried out with a GA-based algorithm, is able to pursue different objective functions as specified by the User. These include system efficiency, through-life cost of electricity and through-life internal rate of return. Three case studies demonstrating the capabilities of the new tool are presented in this paper, covering a conventional combined cycle system, a biomass plant and a CO2 sequestration gas turbine cycle. The software code is now commercially available and is expected to provide significant advantages in the near and long-term development of energy cycles.

Methods of mathematical analysis are reviewed for defining and numerically computing the reliability of warship propulsion systems. Experimental analysis is made of a twin-screw all-gas-turbine plant design for a small warship and the results are compared with computed figures previously published for a geared-steam-turbine plant. It is apparent that relatively simple arrangement of components in subsystems is an inherent advantage of the gas turbine plant from the reliability standpoint and that this type of plant has a potential for high reliability. The analysis was made possible by the availability of component MTBF figures taken from past experience. It is hoped that this will encourage users of marine propulsion equipment to compile and present additional reliability statistics and possibly complete reliability analyses of propulsion plants currently in service.

Recovery Boiler

Increasing the energy efficiency of a gas turbine plant can be achieved by exhaust gas heat recovery in a recovery boiler. Establishing some correlations between the parameters of the boiler and of the turbine is done usually based on mathematical models. In this paper it is determined from experimental point of view, the effectiveness of a heat recovery boiler, which operates together with a gas turbine power plant. Starting from the scheme for framing the measurement devices, we have developed a measurement procedure of the experimental data. For experimental data processing is applied the effectiveness - number of transfer unit method. Based on these experimental data we establish correlations between the recovery boiler effectiveness and the gas turbine plant characteristics. The method can be adapted depending on the type of flow in the recovery boiler.

The design of a modern Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is described for a test steam injected gas turbine (STIG) unit. The LQR controller is obtained by using the fuel flow rate and the injected steam flow rate as the output parameters. To meet the goal of the shaft speed control, a classical Proportional Differential (PD) controller is compared to the LQR controller design. The control performance of the dynamic response of the STIG plant in the case of rejection of load is evaluated. The results of the computer simulation show a remarkable improvement on the dynamic performance of the STIG unit.

The article presents the results obtained during the study of the characteristics of hybrid solar micro-gas turbine units with an integrated parabolocylindrical solar collector. The efficiency of a hybrid solar gas turbine plant depends both on the efficiency of the solar collector and the location of its integration, and on the efficiency of the gas turbine engine. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in studying hybrid solar gas turbine installations based on a parabolocylindrical focusing solar collector in combination with micro-gas turbine engines of various configurations to determine the most suitable match. (Materials and methods) The article considers four basic schemes of gas turbine engines running on organic fuel, their parameters and optimization results. The article presents the main climatic parameters for the study of the focusing solar collector, as well as the parameters of the collector itself and the main dependencies that determine its efficiency and losses. The place of integration of the focusing solar collector into the gas turbine plant was described and justified. (Results and discussion) Hybrid solar micro-gas turbine installations based on micro-gas turbine engines of a simple cycle, a simple cycle with heat recovery, a simple cycle with a turbocharger utilizer, a simple cycle with a turbocharger utilizer and heat recovery for tropical climate conditions were studied on the example of Abu Dhabi. (Conclusions) The most suitable configuration of micro-gas turbine engines for integrating a focusing solar collector is a combination of a simple cycle with a turbocharger utilizer and regeneration. The combination of micro-gas turbine engines of a simple cycle with a turbocharger heat recovery and heat recovery with an integrated focusing solar collector can relatively increase the average annual efficiency of fuel consumption of such installations in a tropical climate by 10-35 percent or more, while maintaining cogeneration capabilities.
