The results showed that decreasing temperature from 35oC to ISO-rated condition increase the power output of a gas turbine by 10.6 percent and the combined cycle power plant by 6.24 percent annually.
During the months of summer, when the temperature of ambient air increases and in certain regions where significant demand for power and high electricity occur, the inlet air cooling techniques are
Continuous monitoring of the output electrical power of CCPPs is a requirement for power performance. In this study, the role of ambient temperature change having the greatest effect on electric production
In this study, the role of ambient temperature change having the greatest effect on electric production is experimentally investigated for a natural gas CCPP. The plant has generated electricity
Secondary-air systems (SASs) are critical for maintaining material integrity and optimizing thermal performance in gas turbines (GTs) and related energy equipment.
In this study, the operation of gas turbines used to generate energy in trigeneration plants with turbine inlet air at various temperatures was investigated. In today''s world, the...
Here, a power generator combining a thermoelectric device and a mixture of various encapsulated alkanes that undergo continuous phase transitions induced by ambient temperature
The output of a combustion turbine decreases as the ambient temperature increases due to the fact that the mass flow rate of air decreases as the air becomes less dense at higher ambient temperatures.
De Sa & Zubaidy (2011) proposed an empirical relationship for a 265 MW gas turbine. This gives us a rough rule of thumb of a 1% efficiency reduction and 5% reduction in output for every 10 °C change.
This study develops empirical estimates for the impact of air temperature and water temperature on the efficiency of coal- and natural gas-fired power plants with once-through and recirculating cooling
