Gas Turbines for Marine Applications

Abstract: Gas turbines have been established as the main power plant for all medium to large aircraft propulsions due to their superior power‐to‐weight ratio. They also have a significant and growing share in the power‐generation sector as a result of the relatively low initial cost, short installation time, high efficiency when operated in combined cycle configurations, and low emissions compared to other fossil fuel power plants. However, their share in the marine propulsion sector is very small because of the more ec… Show more

“…It was assumed that the CCGT burns LNG and MDO, and the two-stroke diesel engine burns MDO. It was also assumed that NO x and CO 2 were used for CCGT and two-stroke diesel engine emission factors in g/kWh regarding the engine or fuel type found in [28][29][30][31][32][33][34], as shown in Table 5. Figure 12 shows the effect of TET with NOx emission on all CCGT cycles; increasing the TET increases the NOX emission.…”

“…Aero-derivative engines [7][8][9] have always been a good choice for marine applications and have been preferred in military ships since 1947 [10]. Along with the robust safety and rigorous maintenance systems associated with engines derived from the aviation industry [11], there is also the problem of the high initial cost, the requirement of more processed fuel, and the installation sensitivity when compared against the diesel counterpart. In terms of nitrogen oxides (NOx) [12] and carbon dioxide emissions [13], gas turbine engines are among the least polluting because of their finely tuned burning chambers and their continuous operating cycle, which maintains the temperature at a very constant level, under the threshold of NOx formation.…”
