Testing of power-generating gas-turbine plants at Russian electric power stations

Abstract

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.

65-MW gas-turbine system for renovation of the Mosénergo TÉTs-9 heating and electric power plant

“…The GTÉ-65 steadystate power generation gas-turbine unit [3 -9], an essential addition to the series of power generating gas turbine units manufactured in Russia [10], is a single-cylinder, singleshaft unit. Figure 2 illustrates the major technical characteristics of the GTÉ-65 with 100, 70, and 50% load under the conditions at the TÉTs-9 plant (barometric pressure 99.5 kPa, 70% relative humidity of the air, pressure drops of 1.0 and 4.2 kPa ahead of the compressor and after the turbine, respectively, and a minimum combustion heat yield of 49,253 kJ/kg for the fuel) as functions of the outside air temperature over a range from -42 to +37°C.…”

Use of GTÉ-65 gas turbine power units in the thermal configuration of steam-gas systems for the refitting of operating thermal electric power plants

“…The stationary power production GTÉ-65 gas-turbine unit [1], which organically supplements the series of power production gas turbine units [2] introduced for use in Russian electric power stations, belongs to the class of medium power installations and is a single-cylinder, single-shaft package made up of individually transportable assemblies (Fig. 1).…”
