This paper cites results of thermal testing of various types and designs of power-generating gas-turbine plants (GTP), which have been placed in service at electric-power stations in Russia in recent years. Thermotechnical and ecological indicators are codified and compiled for their characteristic regimes when operating on natural gas and liquid fuel. The operational economy is evaluated for the GTP on the whole, and operating characteristics are given for their components -compressor, turbine, and combustion chamber. The operating conditions of the GTP are examined for variable regimes, including a regime where a forward channel is used for the compressor. A comparative analysis is performed on the variation in the indicators of type-V94.2 GTP with allowance for their long-term operation.

In the review of the Conference on Gasification of Solid Fuels, which was held on October 2013 by the United States, the commercial use of the most advanced coal gasification systems in the chemical and power industry is considered. Data on the projects of integrated solid fuel gasification combined cycle plants, either being developed or exploited in the United States, as well as the nature and results performed in spe cialized organizations to improve the existing gasification equipment and systems, are presented.
