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.

Solar Turbines Incorporated, a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., is currently developing under DOE sponsorship a coal-fueled version of its industrial Centaur Model H gas turbine for cogeneration applications. A critical sub-system component is the coal-fueled combustor island consisting of a Two-Stage Slagging Combustor (TSSC) with an integrated Particulate Rejection Impact Separator (PRIS). Earlier development of the TSSC consisted of basic feasibility demonstrations and emissions evaluations and has been reported previously together with preliminary system design and assessment data. This paper reports on the continued bench-scale development of the combustor island with the objective of developing a data base suitable for use in scaling-up the design by an order of magnitude to a rating consistent with application to the 3.8 MW Centaur Model H gas turbine. Development activities have included analytical and flow visualization modeling; sorbent injection tests for control of sulfur oxides; and baseline evaluations of a continuous slag removal system. A preliminary engine-size combustor island design is also presented.

Micro Gas Turbine

In the framework of the non-standard fuel combustion research in micro-small turbomachinery, a newly designed micro gas turbine combustor for a 100-kWe power plant in CHP configuration is under development at the Ansaldo Ricerche facilities. Combustor design starts from a single silo chamber shape with two fuel lines, and is associated with a radial swirler flame stabiliser. Lean premix technique is adopted to control both flame temperature and NOx production. Combustor design process envisages two major steps, i.e. diagnostics-focussed design for methane only and experimentally validated design optimisation with suitable burner adaptation to non-standard fuels. The former step is over, as the first prototype design is ready for experimental testing. Step two is now beginning with a preliminary analysis of the burner adaptation to non-standard fuels. The present paper focuses on the first step of the combustor development. In particular, main design criteria for both burner and liner cooling system development are presented. Besides, design process control invoked both 2D and 3D CFD analysis. Two turbulence models, FLUENT standard k-ε model and Reynolds Stress Model (RSM), are refereed and the results compared. Here both a detailed analysis of CFD results and a preliminary analysis of main chemical kinetic phenomena are discussed.

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.

Removal System

The robustness of an autonomous robotic vehicle (ARV) and the embedded supporting architecture permit the investigation of a wide spectrum of research options for particle removal and cleaning apparatus. Applications for particle removal are aimed at supporting the autonomous vehicle in performing its mission, especially in areas considered hazardous, hence emphasize the importance of the embedded system in which the development of air and water jet nozzle is being introduced. By understanding the present basic theory and design methodology, this would capture the outline for future developments of the novelty in particle removal methods especially in an autonomous robotic vehicle (ARV). Accordingly, it can be ascertained that at the same time the main line of the research on particle removal methods remains clear, still in a correspondence research context it is relatively easy to identify alternative subjects which are worthwhile to investigate further.

Abstract Since the advent of premix combustion technology in industrial gas turbines, regular manual combustion tuning and engine adjustments have been necessary to maintain engines within emission regulatory limits and to control combustion dynamics (pulsations) for hardware integrity. The emissions and pulsation signatures of premix combustors are strongly driven by ambient conditions, engine performance, degradation and fuel composition. As emissions limits became more stringent over the years, higher combustion dynamics were encountered and challenges to maintain acceptable settings after yearly combustion inspections were regularly encountered. This challenge was further increased as sites operating advanced Gas Turbines (GT) eliminated Combustion Inspections (CI) and required uninterrupted generation at optimum settings for up to three years. The case for automated tuning systems became evident for the Industrial Gas Turbine (IGT) market in the mid 2000’s and different IGT manufacturers and service providers began developing them. Power Systems Manufacturing (PSM) developed the AutoTune (AT) system in 2008 and has since installed it in over fifty units, accumulating close to a million hours of operation. The history of PSM’s AT system development as well as a description of its fundamental principles and capabilities are discussed. The power generation market is changing rapidly with the injection of renewables, thus driving the demand for operational flexibility, the design of PSM’s multi-platform compatible, AutoTune system; allowing for increased peak power, extended turndown and transient tuning is discussed. The paper also describes, how, using the same tuning principles, the application for an AutoTune system can be extended to the Balance Of Plant (BOP) equipment.

GE together with MTSI, Woodward, and Bibby Transmissions, has developed and delivered a compact gas turbine package for the Korean Navy. The prime mover is GE’s LM500 engine rated at 5500 shp. Remarkably, the period of execution was only 16 months including the development and construction of the production test cell. The paper will examine all phases of the propulsion system development from ship integration to sea trial results (scheduled for Spring 2008). Of particular interest is the design evolution of the high speed coupling shaft (HSCS). Of all of the component development activities, the HSCS was the most challenging. Progress in this particular area will benefit future marine propulsion programs requiring shock qualification.
