Gas Turbine Performance Upgrade Options
نویسندگان
چکیده
Comprehensive upgrades of gas turbine involve the replacement of “flange-to-flange” parts with more advanced designs. Because late-model gas turbines already incorporate advanced technology, these comprehensive upgrades apply only to older gas turbines that are part of a series or model line that the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has redesigned. Examples of these model lines include the Frame 7 and 9 series supplied by GE Power Systems, Schenectady, NY, and the W251 and W501 series supplied by Siemens Westinghouse Power Corp., Orlando, Fla.

Performance Evaluation of Simple Aero Gas Turbine Cycle with Transpiration Cooling of Gas Turbine Blades
Aero gas turbine engines have been using mainly film cooling and convection cooling techniques. For operating at high gas temperature amongst different cooling options the transpiration cooling technique has emerged as the most promising technique to improve the gas turbine cycle performance by allowing higher turbine inlet temperatures. This paper investigates the advantages of transpiration c...
متن کاملPerformance analysis a gas turbine cycle equipped with a double acting type stirling engine in a power generating unit
The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of a gas turbine cycle equipped with a Stirling engine from the thermodynamic point of view. In this system, part of the heat loss from the gas turbine is transmitted to a Stirling engine to generate more power. In the proposed system analysis, the governing equations of the hybrid cycle are modeled in MATLAB software and Schmidt and ideal...
متن کاملThe Impact of Air Quality and Site Selection on Gas Turbine Engine Performance
Air pollution can have detrimental effects on combustion engine performance leading to blade fouling which reduces power output and requires frequent cleanings. This issue is a fairly well-known phenomenon in the power industry. However, site selection for gas turbine installation is rarely part of the decision making process, mainly due to lack of site selection options especially in an urban ...
