In cooperation with Rolls-Royce and Lund University, a combined cycle power plant was modelled, simulated and optimised in the new software framework, the GTPOM tool, developed through the recent EC FP5 programme. The goal was not only to calibrate its component models but also to show how this new tool can be used. This paper presents the gas turbine and combined cycle whole plant modelling an...

flow in the first two-stage of v 94.2 gas turbine is simulated numerically. in this turbine, the second stator is clocked relative to the first stator to different positions. steady-state analysis was carried out by varying the circumferential relative position of the consecutive stator vanes to study the effects of the clocking on turbine performance. a density based compressible inviscid flow...

Aiming at the problems existing in fault diagnosis of Distributed micro gas turbine, a kind of new information system frame of fault Diagnosis on Distributed micro gas turbine is proposed in this paper. The consumers and the manufactures contact with each other through Internet, share the corresponding data of the Distributed Micro-turbine, and diagnose and solve the faults together. Through th...

Two power plant schemes that reduce CO2 emission and employ natural gas reforming were analyzed and discussed. The first one integrates natural gas reforming technology for efficiency improvement with an oxy-fuel combined power system (OXYF-REF), with water as the main work fluid. The reforming heat is obtained from the available turbine exhaust heat, and the produced syngas is used as fuel wit...

In this paper, model predictive control (MPC) strategy is implemented to a GE9001E gas turbine power plant. A linear model is developed for the gas turbine using conventional mathematical models and ARX identification procedure. Also a process control model is identified for system outputs prediction. The controller is designed in order to adjust the exhaust gas temperature and the rotor speed ...

Determination of the starter torque-speed diagram is a major task in the design or selection of a proper gas turbine starter. In this paper, the maximum power of the MGT-40 gas turbine starter was calculated based on the dynamics of the rotor, start-up logic, and compressor map. In a recent research, the pressure ratio was assumed as a linear function of the rotor speed and the required starter...

Organic Rankine Cycles using radial turbines as expanders are considered as one of the most efficient technologies to convert heavy-duty diesel engine waste heat into useful work. Turbine similarity design based on the existing air turbine profiles is time saving. Due to totally different thermodynamic properties between organic fluids and air, its influence on turbine performance and loss mech...

The creation of the systems models is very actual at present time, because it allow to simulate the work of some complex equipment without any additional spends. The given model of gas turbine is allowed to test and optimize the software for gas turbine automation systems, study station personal, like operators and engineers and will be useful for diagnostics and prediction tasks to analyze the...

The new semi-experimental method for simulation of the turbine flow meters rotation in the transitional flow has been developed. The method is based on the experimentally established exponential low of changing of dimensionless relative turbine gas meter rotation frequency and meter inertia time constant. For experimental evaluation of the meter time constant special facility has been developed...
