Title: Performance of Integrated Combined and Cogeneration Cycles Using Latest Gas Turbines
Abstract: The paper deals with the thermodynamic performance of combined and cogeneration cycles using the state of the art gas turbines. A configuration has been conceptualized using the latest gas turbine MS9001H that uses steam to cool the hot gas path components. In order to study the effect of cooling means, the same gas turbine is subjected to transpiration air cooling. Using the above mentioned conceptualized topping cycle, the bottoming cycle selected consists of a two-pressure reheat heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with reheat having two options. First option is the integrated system (IS), which is a combined/cogeneration cycle, and the other is called the normal cogeneration cycle (NC). Both of these cycles are subjected to steam and transpiration air-cooling. The cycle performance is predicted based on parameteric study which has been carried out by modeling the various elements of cycle such as gas, compressor combustor, cooed gas turbine, HRSG steam turbine, condenser, etc. The performance is predicted for parameters such as fuel utilization efficiency (ηf), power-to-heat-ratio (PHR), coolant flow requirements, plant specific work, etc. as a function of independent parameters such as compressor pressure ratio (rpc) and turbine inlet temperature (TIT), etc. The results predicted will be helpful for designers to select the optimum compressor pressure ratio and TIT to achieve the target fuel utilization efficiency, and PHR at the target plant specific work.
