This paper is a follow-up to ASME Paper 70-GT-9, “Development of a 3000-HP Industrial Gas Turbine Engine,” and covers further development accomplished during the past two years to adapt the engine to generator drive applications. Specific areas which are covered in detail include: (a) mechanical features of the single-shaft rotor and output drive system as distinct from the two-shaft design; (b) combustor and fuel injections system development for liquid (diesel) fuel and dual fuel capability; (c) fuel control system development; and (d) hydroelectric starting system.

CFD analysis methods were successfully implemented and verified with ongoing industrial gas turbine engine lean premix combustion system development. Selected aspects of diffusion and lean premix combustion modeling, predictions, observations and validated CFD results associated with the Solar Turbines Mars™ SoLoNOx combustor are presented. CO and NOx emission formation modeling details applicable to parametric CFD analysis in an industrial design environment are discussed. This effort culminated in identifying phenomena and methods of potentially further reducing NOx and CO emissions while improving engine operability in the Mars™ SoLoNOx combustion system. A potential explanation for the abrupt rise in CO formation observed in many gas turbine lean premix combustion systems is presented.

We developed a dual-fuel single can combustor for the Niigata Gas Turbine (NGT2BC), which was developed as a continuous-duty gas turbine capable of burning both kerosene and digester gas. The output of the NGT2BC is 920 kW for continuous use with digester gas and 1375 kW for emergency use with liquid fuel. Digester gas, obtained from sludge processing at sewage treatment plants, is a biomass energy resource whose use reduces CO2 emissions and take advantage of an otherwise wasted energy source. Design features for good combustion with digester gas include optimized the good matching of gas injection and swirl air and reduced reference velocity. The optimal combination of these parameters was determined through CFD analysis and atmospheric rig testing.

Abstract The dry-low-NOx (DLN) micromix combustion technology has been developed originally as a low emission alternative for industrial gas turbine combustors fueled with hydrogen. Currently, the ongoing research process targets flexible fuel operation with hydrogen and syngas fuel. The nonpremixed combustion process features jet-in-crossflow-mixing of fuel and oxidizer and combustion through multiple miniaturized flames. The miniaturization of the flames leads to a significant reduction of NOx emissions due to the very short residence time of reactants in the flame. The paper presents the results of a numerical and experimental combustor test campaign. It is conducted as part of an integration study for a dual-fuel (H2 and H2/CO 90/10 vol %) micromix (MMX) combustion chamber prototype for application under full scale, pressurized gas turbine conditions in the auxiliary power unit Honeywell Garrett GTCP 36-300. In the presented experimental studies, the integration-optimized dual-fuel MMX combustor geometry is tested at atmospheric pressure over a range of gas turbine operating conditions with hydrogen and syngas fuel. The experimental investigations are supported by numerical combustion and flow simulations. For validation, the results of experimental exhaust gas analyses are applied. Despite the significantly differing fuel characteristics between pure hydrogen and hydrogen-rich syngas, the evaluated dual-fuel MMX prototype shows a significant low NOx performance and high combustion efficiency. The combustor features an increased energy density that benefits manufacturing complexity and costs.

A fuel control system for a prototype gas turbine with recuperator is described. The electronic fuel control was designed with the aid of a hybrid simulator. Its performance is verified on the bench test for a 600-bhp gas turbine engine with recuperator. Prediction of vehicle behavior and transmission requirements were made for a heavy-duty, 32-ton dump truck equipped wtih the 600-bhp gas turbine engine.

The on-going development of a full authority digital engine control (FADEC) system for the US Navy’s Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) gas turbine requires a high level of system coordination to achieve the primary benefits of reduced specific fuel consumption and improved specific output power relative to a simple cycle engine. This paper describes the system requirements analysis and the implementation of control algorithms leading to the preliminary ICR control system design. The ICR control system is required to coordinate the actions of over 30 actuators using data taken from over 150 sensors. Primary control of the engine output power is provided by regulation of the fuel metering valve. Thermal management of the intercooler, recuperator, and variable area power turbine nozzle results in maximum cycle efficiency within safe operating limits. The new electronic engine controller (EEC) is based on a new open architecture Futurebus + backplane and is fully redundant in all operationally critical control functions. The EEC also features an operating panel and video display for local operation and maintenance of the control system. The graphic display and function keys provide access to control functions as well as assisting maintenance activities with built-in test diagnostics to trouble shoot failed circuitry.
