THE PURPOSE. The study is aimed at studying the effect of fuel gases of various component composition on the environmental performance of the GE 6FA gas turbine unit. Consider using hydrogen as primary sweat to minimize emissions and improve performance of the GE 6FA gas turbine. METHODS. To achieve this goal, the ASGRET (Automated system for gas-dynamic calculations of power turbomachines) software package was used. RESULTS. The article discusses promising directions for the utilization of CO2 using highly efficient technologies with further use or disposal. A mathematical model of a GE 6FA gas turbine unit, diagrams of changes in the main characteristics and the composition of emissions when operating on various types of fuel, including hydrogen, are presented. CONCLUSION. The studies carried out show that a change in the component composition of the gas affects the energy characteristics of the engine. The method for determining the quantitative composition of COx, NOx, SOx in the exhaust gases of a gas turbine plant is presented. The transition to the reserve fuel kerosene leads to an increase in the amount of emissions, which must be taken into account when designing systems for capturing harmful emissions with a dual-fuel fuel gas supply system. The use of hydrogen as a fuel for gas turbines allows to reduce not only the cost of fuel preparation, but also to minimize emissions and improve the performance of the gas turbine plant.

Results of the environmental update of GT-750-6 (“Nevsky Zavod”, 6 MW), KWU VR-438 (“Siemens”, 10 MW), MS-3002 (“General Electric”, 10 MW) gas-turbine unit combustors were examined. On the basis of some specific features of design and operating process in the combustors, original engineering approaches of their update using a technique of localized air blow into the fire space extreme temperature zones were developed. The technique was demonstrated to be effective for a variety of combustors. Using the technique, one needs no considerable changes of the combustor design. The fuel system and gas turbine plant automatic control and governing systems remain virtually intact.

The major challenges before the design engineers of a gas turbine plant and its variants are the enhancement of power output, substantial reduction in NOx emission and improvement in plant thermal efficiency. There are various possibilities to achieve these objectives and humid air gas turbine cycle power plant is one of them. The present study deals with the thermodynamic study of humid air gas turbine cycle power plants based on first law. Using the modeling and governing equations, the parametric study has been carried out. The results obtained will be helpful in designing the humid air gas turbines, which are used as peaking units. The comparison of performance of humid air gas turbine cycle shows that it is superior to basic gas turbine cycle but inferior and more complex to steam injected cycle.

Carrying out research work to determine the working conditions and determine the fuel consumption in a gas turbine installation. The descriptions of a gas turbine unit operating on gaseous fuel are presented: in normal and standby operating modes. The optimal operating mode of the gas turbine plant is combined: the production of heat and electricity. A study of the operating mode of a gas turbine unit at a constant pressure of 0.1 MPa and a temperature when air enters the compressor of a gas turbine unit with fuel combustion has been carried out. The features of the use of an energy carrier in a gas turbine unit during the year are highlighted and analyzed. The structure and current consumption of natural gas in a gas turbine unit for accounting for the consumption of energy carriers is described. As a result of the study, a substantiation of the concept of calculating the predictive function for accounting for the costs of non-renewable energy resources for a gas turbine plant, used natural gas, is proposed. This, in turn, ensures effective planning and increasing the economic efficiency of the enterprise. All this makes it possible to regulate the modes and costs of using fuel during the operation of a gas turbine unit. A study of the operating mode of the gas turbine unit at a constant pressure of 0.1 MPa and a temperature of 10 ° C was carried out, when the optimal operating mode of the gas turbine unit is the combined production of thermal and electrical energy. The choice of the predicting function by which it is better to forecast the use of the energy carrier for the current year has been proposed and substantiated. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the formulation of the substantiation of the conceptual principles for the construction of a mathematical model of the use and accounting of energy consumption based on the use of predictive functions and recommendations are provided on how to rationally use natural resources. The practical significance of the work lies in forecasting and calculating the volume of natural gas consumption (thousand m3) by the enterprise for the next year, and this, in turn, allows us to adjust the gas consumption for the future and make informed decisions on how it is possible to reduce fuel consumption or use it as efficiently as possible.

The design of modern gas turbines requires the predetermination of their dynamic behavior during transients of various kinds. This is especially true for air storage and closed cycle gas turbine plants. The present paper is an introduction to a computatational method which permits an accurate simulation of any gas turbine system. Starting with the conservation equations of aero/thermodynamics, the modular computer program COTRAN was developed, which calculates the transient behavior of individual components as well as of entire gas turbine systems. For example, it contains modules for compressors, turbines, combustion chambers, pipes etc. To demonstrate the effectiveness of COTRAN the shut-down tests of the air storage gas turbine plant Huntorf were simulated and results compared with experimental data. The agreement was found to be very good.

Solar hybrid gas turbine technology has the potential to increase the efficiency of future solar thermal power plants by utilizing solar heat at a much higher temperature level than state of the art plants based on steam turbine cycles. In a previous paper the authors pointed out, that further development steps are required for example in the field of component development and in the investigation of the system dynamics to realize a mature technology for commercial application [1]. In this paper new findings on system dynamics are presented based on the simulation model of a solar hybrid gas turbine with parallel arrangement of the combustion chamber and solar receivers. The operational behavior of the system is described by means of two different scenarios. The System operation in a stand-alone electrical supply network is investigated in the first scenario. Here it is shown that fast load changes in the network lead to a higher shaft speed deviation of the electric generator compared to pure fossil fired systems. In the second scenario a generator load rejection, as a worst case, is analyzed. The results make clear that additional relief concepts like blow-off valves are necessary as the standard gas turbine protection does not meet the specific requirements of the solar hybrid operation. In general the results show, that the solar hybrid operational modes are much more challenging for the gas turbines control and safety system compared to pure fossil fired plants due to the increased volumetric storage capacity of the system.

Precise performance evaluation at design and off-design operations is needed for a correct management of power plants. This need is particularly strong in gas turbine power plants which can quickly react to load variations and are very sensitive to ambient conditions. The paper aims at presenting a simple tool to determine the values of the thermodynamic quantities in each point of the plant and the overall plant performances of a real gas turbine plant. Starting from experimental data, a zero-dimensional model is developed which properly considers the effect of ambient conditions and water injection for pollutant abatement at different load settings under the action of the control system. An emission model taken from the literature is also included, after tuning on experimental data, to predict carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide pollution.

An alternative solution for solar energy conversion to the heliostat-tower and solar farm (parabolic trough) concept is presented in the form of large parabolic dish collectors using small high temperature gas turbines for producing electricity from solar thermal energy. A cost and efficiency comparison for the different solar thermal power plants has shown that the large parabolic dish with gas turbine set is a superior system design especially in the net power range of 50 to 2000 kW. The important advantages of the large parabolic dish concept are discussed. For the important components such as the gas turbo converter, the receiver and the parabolic dish collector, design proposals for economic solutions are presented. An advanced layout for a 250-kW gas turbo converter with recuperator is presented in detail.

The proper utilization of all the available forms of energy resources has become imminent to meet the power requirement and energy demand in both the developed and developing countries of the world. Even though the emphasis is given to the renewable resources in most parts of the world, but fossil fuels will still remain the main resources of energy as these can meet both normal and peak demands. Saudi Arab has number of power plant based on natural gas and fuel that are spread in all its regions. These power plants have aeroderivative gas turbine units supplied by General Electric Company as main power producing units. These units work on dual fuel systems. These units work as simple gas turbine units to meat peak demands and as part of combined cycle otherwise. The subject matter of this study is the performance of one of the units of a power plant situated near Riyadh city of Saudi Arab. This unit also works both as simple gas turbine unit and as a part of combined cycle power plant unit. A parametric based performance evaluation of the unit has been carried out to study both energetic and exergetic performance of the unit for both simple and combined cycle operation. Effect of compressor inlet temperature, turbine inlet temperature, pressure ratio of the compressor, the stage from which bleed off air have been taken and percentage of bleed off air from the compressor on the energetic and exergetic performance of the unit have been studied. The study reveals that all these parameters effect the performance of the unit in both modes of operation.

Single shaft-heavy-duty- industrial gas turbines are extremely sensitive to compressed air bypassing at compressor discharge plane. This plane represents the highest pressure location in entire Gas Turbine Unit (GTU). Standard method to minimize compressed air leakage is labyrinth seal that is integral part of the cylindrical element here called “inner barrel”. The “inner barrel” is also the part of compressor discharge diffuser. This Paper describes the efforts related to conversion of standard labyrinth seal into the hybrid seal that is combination of labyrinth and brush seals.
