All models used to simulate different components in the cycles are presented in the report in detail and then connected in a computer program fully developed by the author. The report focuses on the theme of evaporative gas turbine cycles, in which low level heat is used to evaporate water into the compressed air stream between the compressor and recuperator. This leads to efficiency levels close to a comparable combined cycle but without the steam bottoming cycle! A parametric analysis has been conducted with the aim of deciding the best configuration of an evaporative cycle both for an uncooled expander and for a cooled expander. The model proposed to simulate the cooled expander is a combination between two existing models. Relerat ekrivet av Rosdn Per M.

This thesis investigates two advanced power cycles with mixtures as the working fluid: the Kalina cycle, alternatively called the ammonia-water cycle, and the evaporative gas turbine cycle. These cycles have the potential of improved performance regarding electrical efficiency, specific power output, specific investment cost and cost of electricity compared with the conventional technology, since the mixture working fluids enable efficient energy recovery. This thesis shows that the ammonia-water cycle has a better thermodynamic performance than the steam Rankine cycle as a bottoming process for natural gas- fired gas and gas-diesel engines, since the majority of the ammonia-water cycle configurations investigated generated more power than steam cycles.

In the present cycle, the sensible enthalpy of the exhaust gases between turbine exit and stack is used to simultaneously and in-parallel heat both air and water/steam. A smaller amount of water is boiled than in the known Cheng cycle, in which the exhaust heat is used only to heat water/steam. Thus, the latent heat exhausted at the stack in the present cycle is lower than that for the Cheng cycle resulting in higher efficiency.

  • Thermodynamic Modelling and Optimization of a Dual Pressure Reheat Combined Power Cycle
    Sadhan¯ a¯ Vol. 35, Part 5, October 2010, pp. 597–608. © Indian Academy of Sciences Thermodynamic modelling and optimization of a dual pressure reheat combined power cycle T SRINIVAS School of Mechanical and Building Sciences, Vellore Institute of Technology University, Vellore 632 014 e-mail: [email protected] MS received 11 September 2008; revised 18 February 2010; accepted 19 July 2010 Abstract. Heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) plays a key role on performance of combined cycle (CC). In this work, attention was focused on a dual pressure reheat (DPRH) HRSG to maximize the heat recovery and hence performance of CC. Deaerator, an essential open feed water heater in steam bottoming cycle was located to enhance the efficiency and remove the dissolved gasses in feedwater. Each of the heating section in HRSG is solved from the local flue gas condition with an aim of getting minimum possible temperature difference. For high performance, better conditions for compressor, HRSG sections, steam reheater and deaerator are developed. The CC system is optimized at a gas turbine inlet temperature of 1400◦C due to the present available technology of modern gas turbine blade cooling systems. The exergetic losses in CC system are compared with each other. The present DPRH HRSG model has been compared and validated with the plant and published data. Keywords. Combined cycle; dual pressure; deaerator; exergy analysis; heat recovery steam generator. 1. Introduction Combined cycle (CC) power plants are gaining wider acceptance due to more and more avail- ability of natural gas, now a days, because of their higher overall thermal efficiencies, peaking and two-shifting capabilities, fast start-up capabilities and lesser cooling water requirements.

The current work introduces such a cycle, namely TopCycle, which provides the necessary combustion infrastructure to operate on a wide fuel variety in a steam-rich atmosphere. The cycle configuration is presented in detail, and its operation is exemplified on the basis of simulation results. Operation at design condition results in electric efficiencies higher than 50% (lower heating value (LHV)) and power densities higher than 2100 kW/kgair (referred to intake air flow). A sensitivity analysis identifies the cycle performance as a function of representative parameters, which provide the basis for future operation and design improvements. As for any gas turbine cycle, TopCycle’s electric efficiency can be effectively improved by increasing the turbine inlet temperature, optimizing the economizer heat recovery, as well as elevating the working pressure. Finally, TopCycle’s performance is compared to a state-of-the-art combined cycle (CC) at equivalent operation parameters. The TopCycle operates at an elevated electric efficiency and considerably higher power density, which can be transferred into smaller plant footprint and dimensions and thus lower investment costs at equal power output in comparison to a CC.

A new method was introduced to evaluate low pressure (LP) and intermediate pressure (IP) in HRSG from local flue gas temperature to get minimum possible temperature difference in heaters instead of a usual fixation of pressures. Optimum location for deaerator was found at 1, 3 and 5 bar respectively for SP, DP and TP in heat recovery at a high pressure (HP) of 200 bar. Results also showed optimum pressure for air compression and steam reheater by means of three categories of heat recovery.

A typical application is the humidified gas turbine that has the potential to give high efficiencies, high specific power output, low emissions and low specific investment. A heat recovery system is integrated in the cycle with a humidifier for moisturizing the high-pressure air from the compressor as a kernel. Based on today’s gas turbines, the operating temperature and pressure in the humidifier are up to about 523 K and 40 bar, respectively. The operating temperature of the heat exchanger after the humidifier is up to 1773 K. The technology of water or steam addition is also used in the process of compressed air energy storage (CAES), and the operating pressure is up to 150 bar.

It is composed of a regenerative extraction g gas steam turbine and a steam injected gas turbine. Extracted s steam steam of the regenerative extraction steam cycle is not used t turbine to heat water through the regenerative feed—water heater c compressor as in conventional plant, but injected into a gas turbine to b extraction point or burner augment the output of the gas turbine, while the exhaust f fuel gas of the gas turbine now displaces the extracted steam to GT.
