Experimental study on the performance of micro gas turbines under different intake environments

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The performances of micro gas turbines is affected by the operating environment. Exploring the performances of micro gas turbines under changing intake environments has broad prospects and significant implications. This article uses experimental methods to measure the operational performance and pollutant emissions of micro gas turbines under different intake environments. The results show that the output power and power generation efficiency of gas turbines increase with the increase of fuel consumption. The impact of changes in power demand indicates that operating under design conditions has the best efficiency. The increase in intake pressure is beneficial for improving the power generation efficiency, but the NOx concentration slightly increases, while the CO concentration and flue gas temperature decrease. The influence of intake humidity causes each parameter to exhibit an extreme value at the rated operating position. The decrease in intake temperature is beneficial for increasing power generation efficiency. As the intake temperature increases, the amount of CO generated gradually decreases, the amount of NOx generated gradually increases, and the temperature of the flue gas also increases.
