“…Although, commercial hybrid systems are not available yet, experimental studies have been conducted on portions of the system [130]. A simulated hybrid system was developed at University of Genoa [131][132][133] with a Turbec T100 MGT. Gas outlet compositions of SOFC were simulated and tested with the MGT in order to study the hybrid system performance and control.…”

“…Usually these systems are always based on a recuperated cycle, involving a recuperator at the exit of the compressor. The problem of the recuperator is both in terms of performance [6,7] and long-term life [8] due to thermal cycles. In perspective, the global performance of these systems can be enhanced by considering the coupling with a fuel cell in a hybrid configuration [9], which however has a drawback on the capital costs associated to such technology.…”

In the panorama of gas turbines for energy production, a great relevance is given to performance impact of the ambient conditions. Under the influence of ambient temperature, humidity and other factors, the engine performance is subject to consistent variations. This is true for large power plants as well as small engines. In Combined Cycle configuration, variation in performance are mitigated by the HRSG and the bottoming steam cycle. In a small scale system, such as a micro gas turbine, the influence on the electric and thermal power productions is strong as well, and is not mitigated by a bottoming cycle. This work focuses on the Turbec T100 micro gas turbine and its performance through a series of operations with different ambient temperatures. The goal is to characterize the engine performance deriving simple correlations for the influence of ambient temperature on performance, at different electrical loads. The newly obtained experimental data are compared with previous performance curves on a modified machine, to capture the differences due to hardware degradation in time. An active management of the compressor inlet temperature may be developed in the future, basing on the analysis reported here.
