Plant Efficiency

Applications of energy exchangers, a type of gasdynamic wave machine, were evaluated in power plants fired by pressurized, fluidized bed combustors (PFBCs). Comparative analyses of overall power plant efficiency indicate that the use of energy exchangers as hot gas expanders may provide a 0.5 to 1.5 efficiency point increase relative to gas turbines. In addition, the unique operating characteristics of these machines are expected to reduce rotating component wear by a factor of 50 to 300 relative to conventional gas turbines operating in the particulate laden PFBC effluent stream.

This paper deals with the thermodynamic performance of complex gas turbine cycles involving inter-cooling, re-heating and regeneration. The performance has been evaluated based on the mathematical modeling of various elements of gas turbine for the real situation. The fuel selected happens to be natural gas and the internal convection / film / transpiration air cooling of turbine bladings have been assumed. The analysis has been applied to the current state-of-the-art gas turbine technology and cycle parameters in four classes: Large industrial, Medium industrial, Aero-derivative and Small industrial. The results conform with the performance of actual gas turbine engines. It has been observed that the plant efficiency is higher at lower inter-cooling (surface), reheating and regeneration yields much higher efficiency and specific power as compared to simple cycle. There exists an optimum overall compression ratio and turbine inlet temperature in all types of complex configuration. The advanced turbine blade materials and coating withstand high blade temperature, yields higher efficiency as compared to lower blade temperature materials.

Plant Efficiency

The current emphasis on the development of gas turbine related power plants such as combined and steam injected is on increasing the plant efficiency and specific work while minimizing the cost of power production per kW and emission. The present work deals with the thermodynamic analysis of intercooled (both surface and evaporative) gas/steam combined and steam injected cycle power plants. The intercooling has a beneficial effect on both plant efficiency and specific work if the optimum intercooling pressure is chosen between 3 and 4. The evaporative intercooler is superior to surface type with reference to plant efficiency and specific work.

AbstractThis article evaluates the improvement in gas turbine combined cycle power plant efficiency and output via pressure gain combustion (PGC). Ideal and real cycle calculations are provided for a rigorous assessment of PGC variants (e.g., detonation and deflagration) in a realistic power plant framework with advanced heavy-duty industrial gas turbines. It is shown that PGC is the single-most potent knob available to the designers for a quantum leap in combined cycle performance.
