Degradation in Gas Turbine Systems

Abstract: Any prime mover exhibits the effects of wear and tear over time. The problem of predicting the effects of wear and tear on the performance of any engine is still a matter of discussion. Because the function of a gas turbine is the result of the fine-tuned cooperation of many different components, the emphasis of this paper is on the gas turbine and its driven equipment (compressor or pump) as a system, rather than on isolated components. We will discuss the effect of degradation on the package as part of a com… Show more

“…In papers Diakunchak (1992); Kurz and Brun (2001); Kurz et al (2009), several mechanisms which cause degradation in gas turbines are presented. The major contribution of degradation mechanisms in an industrial gas turbine is fouling.…”

“…This phenomenon can lead to a decreased surge margin [22,23] and reduced efficiency as well as total flow rate of the compressor [15-18, 22, 24-26]. But fouling is usually recoverable to some extent [15,17,18,25,27]. The turbine efficiency decreases due to fouling or erosion [16,26].…”

“…The combustors in the conventional GTPP and the afterburners in the membrane-based GTPP are, in general, not directly affected by degradation [16,26,27,38]. Due to the lack of available data, degradation of the catalytic combustors in the membrane reactor [12] was also neglected.…”

“…The correct construction and operation of the components of the gas turbine (GT) plant are also necessary for proper understanding and monitoring (Khalid et al 1998;Kurz and brun, 2001). Furthermore, the function of a GT is the result of the fine-tuned co-operation of the many different components of the plant.…”

“…Surge causes severe problems such as excessive pressure build-up at the inlet and cyclic loading on the compressor. These instabilities might lead to the inability of the compressor blade to produce the required compression and the engine might sustain catastrophic damage as a result of the excessive vibration (Iwakiri et al 2009 andKurz, 2009). The objective of this work is therefore to enunciate a method to further improve the operational performance of the GT through online water washing.…”
