Book excerpt: Primarily this book describes the thermodynamics of gas turbine cycles. The search for high gas turbine efficiency has produced many variations on the simple "open circuit" plant, involving the use of heat exchangers, reheating and intercooling, water and steam injection, cogeneration and combined cycle plants. These are described fully in the text. A review of recent proposals for a number of novel gas turbine cycles is also included. In the past few years work has been directed towards developing gas turbines which produce less carbon dioxide, or plants from which the CO2 can be disposed of; the implications of a carbon tax on electricity pricing are considered. In presenting this wide survey of gas turbine cycles for power generation the author calls on both his academic experience (at Cambridge and Liverpool Universities, the Gas Turbine Laboratory at MIT and Penn State University) and his industrial work (primarily with Rolls Royce, plc.) The book will be essential reading for final year and masters students in mechanical engineering, and for practising engineers.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with modelling and performance enhancements of a gas-turbine combined cycle power plant. A clean and safe energy is the greatest challenges to meet the requirements of green environment. These requirements given way the long time governing authority of steam turbine (ST) in the world power generation, and gas turbine (GT) and its combined cycle (CCGT) will replace it. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the characteristics of the CCGT system and optimize its operating strategy by developing a simulation system. Several configurations of the GT and CCGT plants systems are proposed by thermal analysis. The integrated model and simulation code for exploiting the performance of gas turbine and CCGT power plant are developed utilizing MATLAB code. New strategies for GT and CCGT power plant's operational modelling and optimizations are suggested for power plant operation, to improve overall performance. The effect of various enhancing strategies on the performance of the CCGT power plant (two-shaft, intercooler, regenerative, reheat, and multi-pressure heat recovery steam generator (HRSG)) based on the real GT and CCGT power plants. An extensive thermodynamic analysis of the modifications of the most common configuration's enhancements has been carried out. The performance code for heavy-duty GT and CCGT power plants are validated with the real power plant of Baiji GT and MARAFIQ CCGT plants the results have been satisfactory. The simulating results show that the reheated GT has a higher power (388MW) while the higher thermal efficiency occurs in the regenerative GT (52%) with optimal pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature. The performance enhancing strategies results show that the higher power output occurs in the intercooler-reheat GT strategy (404MW). Furthermore, the higher thermal efficiency (56.9%) and lower fuel consumption (0.13kg/kWh) occur in the intercooler-regenerative-reheat GT strategy. The analyses of the HRSG configurations show that the maximum power output (1238MW) occurred in the supplementary triple pressure with reheat CCGT while the overall efficiency was about 56.6%. The intercooler-reheat CCGT strategy has higher power output (1637MW) and the higher overall thermal efficiency (59.4%) and lower fuel consumption (0.047kg/kWh) occur with the regenerative-reheat CCGT strategy. The simulation result shows that the proposed GT system improved 19% of thermal efficiency and 22% of power output. In addition, the proposed CCGT system improved 4.6% of thermal efficiency for and 22.5% of power output. The optimization result shows that the optimum power (1280MW) and the overall thermal efficiency (65%) of the supplementary triple pressure with reheat CCGT. Therefore, the optimization procedure is reasonably accurate and efficient. Thus, the operation conditions and ambient temperature are strongly influenced on the overall performance of the GT and CCGT. The optimum efficiency and power are found at higher turbine inlet temperatures. It can be comprehended that the developed models are powerful tools for estimating the overall performance of the CCGT plants. The energy and exergy analysis models for the GT and CCGT plants are highly recommended for predicting them performance based on inlet air cooling system.

Download or read book Ericsson Cycle Gas Turbine Powerplants written by W. H. Krase and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preliminary exploration of a potentially low-cost gas turbine thermodynamic cycle that appears capable of unprecedented efficiency. The cycle approximates an Ericsson cycle and uses stepwise expansions in turbines with intervening reheat and stepwise compression with intervening intercooling. At a peak cycle temperature of 1500 deg F, and using five stages of compression and expansion, a 50 percent thermal efficiency is attainable with previously demonstrated component performance. This performance requires no extremes of pressure or temperature, no new materials, and no fundamentally new techniques. The cycle is not complicated in comparison with advanced gas turbine/steam turbine cycles now being considered for high-efficiency fossil-fuel-fired plants. In addition, the low temperatures required by the Ericsson cycle would eliminate many problems presented by other cycles. This analysis indicates that detailed study of fuels and applications, design and plant layout, costs, and fuel processing losses for the Ericsson cycle approximation is warranted.
