This paper describes the first full-scale field test of a steam injection system for a natural-gas-fired G.E. LM5000 gas generator for the purpose of: (a) decreased exhaust emissions, (b) increased power output, and (c) improved efficiency. It discusses the steam supply system, engine features, test results, and plant economics for steam injection into the combustor and compressor discharge sections of the LM5000 at rates up to 65,000 lb/hr (29,510 kg/hr).

Software for monitoring and evaluating the performance of gas turbines is being developed under the auspices of Gas Research Institute (GRI). Reference [1] provides an overview of the GRI project. This paper describes the PEGASUS software and monitoring system. PEGASUS is an acronym for Performance Evaluation of GAS Users Systems. Field test results, on multi-shaft turbines used in the gas pipeline industry, have demonstrated the potential of the software. The software and instrumentation, can help identify maintenance and upgrade actions to improve performance.

This paper presents the results of the combustion system test of the MS7001F installed at the Virginia Power Chesterfield station. Tests of water and steam injection for NOx control were performed. Results of emissions, combustor dynamics, and combustor hardware performance are presented. Emissions test results include NOx, CO, unburned hydrocarbons, VOC, and formaldehyde levels. Combustor dynamic activity over a range of diluent injection ratios, and the performance of an actively cooled transition duct are also discussed. Combustion system mechanical performance is described following the first combustion system inspection.

Biomass can be converted to energy via direct combustion or thermochemical conversion to liquid or gas fuels. This study focuses on burning producer gases derived from gasifying biomass wastes to produce power. Since the producer gases are usually of low calorific values (LCV), power plant performance under various operating conditions has not yet been proven. In this study, system performance calculations are conducted for 5MWe power plants. The power plants considered include simple gas turbine systems, steam turbine systems, combined cycle systems, and steam injection gas turbine systems using the producer gas with low calorific values at approximately 30% and 15% of the natural gas heating value (on a mass basis). The LCV fuels are shown to impose high compressor back pressure and produce increased power output due to increased fuel flow. Turbine nozzle throat area is adjusted to accommodate additional fuel flows to allow the compressor to operate within safety margin. The best performance occurs when the designed pressure ratio is maintained by widening nozzle openings, even though the turbine inlet pressure is reduced under this adjustment. Power augmentations under four different ambient conditions are calculated by employing gas turbine inlet fog cooling. Comparison between inlet fog cooling and steam injection using the same amount of water mass flow indicates that steam injection is less effective than inlet fog cooling in augmenting power output. Maximizing steam injection, at the expense of supplying the steam to the steam turbine, significantly reduces both the efficiency and the output power of the combined cycle. This study indicates that the performance of gas turbine and combined cycle systems fueled by the LCV fuels could be very different from the familiar behavior of natural gas fired systems. Care must be taken if on-shelf gas turbines are modified to burn LCV fuels.

Supercharged Engine

The paper covers the mechanical and thermodynamic aspects of increasing the power output and thermal efficiency of an existing nonsupercharged two-cycle, loop-scavenged diesel engine through supercharging. The power output was increased by 40 per cent and the thermal efficiency by approximately 4 per cent. Much of the thermodynamic work was done on a UNIVAC computer and a brief description of the theoretical approach and results appear in this paper. Field test results from a Nordberg two-cycle, 21 1/2-in. × 31-in. supercharged engine are also included in this paper.

Performance Estimates

Preliminary performance modeling and conceptual designs have been completed for the addition of a steam injection system to a natural gas fired General Electric (GE) LM1600 gas turbine. The steam injected LM1600 gas turbine (STIG™ system) is an attractive size, 13 to 17 mw, for both cogeneration and small power applications. The STIG™ system offers numerous benefits including 1) increased power output in a compact single engine system, 2) improved efficiency, 3) reduced exhaust emissions, 4) steam-to-power flexibility, and 5) attractive system economics. This paper describes the LM1600 STIGTM system conceptual design, performance estimates and projected emissions.
