“…Strictly speaking, the power output is directly dependent on the mass flow rate of the air in the cycle. For each degree Celsius increase of the air temperature, 0.5-0.9% of the power output of the gas turbine cycle is reduced [11]. The efficiency and power output of a gas turbine during hot conditions is less than power output during cold conditions.…”

In this paper the performance enhancement of gas turbine power plants by cooling the compressor intake air with an evaporative cooler is studied. This study investigated the effect of inlet air cooling system on the performance of an existing gas turbine power plant in Nigeria. The results show that for each 5 o C decrease of inlet air temperature, net output power increases around 5-10% and the thermal efficiency increases around 2-5%. It is shown that the amount of this increase is higher when the pressure ratio is high and turbine inlet temperature is low. The results of this study shows that retrofitting of the existing gas turbine plant with inlet air cooling system gives a better system performance and may prove to be an attractive investment opportunity to the Nigeria government and stakeholders of the plant.

“…By modeling and assessing a media evaporative cooling system in the gas turbine of a Fars combined-cycle power plant (Iran), Hosseini et al [7] demonstrated that media evaporative cooling for this gas turbine plant at 38 °C ambient temperature and 8% relative humidity temperature reduced the inlet air temperature by about 19 °C and increased the power output by 11 MW.…”

Abstract:The results are reported of exergoeconomic analyses of a simple gas turbine cycle without a fogging system (SGT), a simple steam injection gas turbine cycle (STIG), and a steam injection gas turbine cycle with inlet fogging cooler (FSTIG). The results show that (1) a gas-turbine cycle with steam injection and simultaneous cooling has a higher power output than the other considered cycle; (2) at maximum energy efficiency conditions the gas turbine has the highest exergy efficiency of the cycle components and the lowest value of exergy efficiency is calculated for the fog cooler, where the mixing of air and water at greatly different temperatures causes the high exergy destruction; and (3) utilization of the fogging cooler in the steam injection cycle increases the exergy destruction in the combustion chamber. Furthermore, the simple gas turbine cycle is found to be more economic as its relative cost difference, total unit product cost, and exergoeconomic factors are less than those for the two other configurations. However, its efficiency and net power output are notably lower than for the gas turbine with steam injection and/or fog cooling. The total unit product cost is highest for the simple gas turbine with steam injection. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 12237

“…They reported that the optimal pressure ratio for maximum power plant efficiency is lower than limiting pressure ratio at which specific net work is maximum. Hosseini et al [19] investigated a media evaporative cooling system installed in the gas turbine of the Fars (Iran) combined cycle power plant. In their model, different design parameters such as inlet air velocity, geometric shape and sizes and depth of the media had been considered.…”

Gas turbine could play a key role in future power generation addressing issues of producing clean, efficient and fuel flexible power generation. In the field of energy generation, gas turbines have often been chosen in the past when fast start and shut down on demand is required. In this paper an attempt has been made to review research activities and studies carried out worldwide so far on gas turbine power plant. The historical development in chronological order has been presented first, followed by some fundamental features about gas turbine. This paper mainly reviews the effect of different operating parameters and atmospheric conditions on the performance of gas turbine power plant. Moreover, various studies based on the modeling and simulations have been reviewed. Research on gas turbines with evaporative coolers, heat exchangers and absorption chillers has also been assessed.
