Title: Gas Turbine Combined Heat and Power Systems
Abstract: Gas turbines are complex high technology engines that usually burn natural gas to generate electrical power. The nature of the gas turbine thermodynamic cycle means that the exhaust gases that exit the gas turbine are still very hot. These hot gases can be exploited directly in industrial processes, but more often, they are utilized to generate steam in a heat recovery steam generator. The steam can then be used to provide process heat for an industrial process or steam to drive as steam turbine, or in a gas turbine combined heat and power (CHP) plant a combination of both. This makes gas turbine CHP plants both complex and very flexible. Plants of this type are used in refineries and to supply heat for district heating systems.
