Types of Gas Turbine Plants
Simple Cycle Operate When Demand is High – Peak Demand Operate for Short / Variable Times Designed for Quick Start-Up Not designed to be Efficient but Reliable
Not Cost Effective to Build for Efficiency
Combined Cycle Operate for Peak and Economic Dispatch Designed for Quick Start-Up Designed to Efficient, Cost-Effective Operation Typically Has Ability to Operate in SC Mode

The energy contained in a flowing ideal gas is the sum of enthalpy and kinetic energy.
Pressurized gas can store or release energy. As it expands the pressure is converted to kinetic energy.

Principles of Operation
Compressor As air flows into the compressor, energy is transferred from its
rotating blades to the air. Pressure and temperature of the air increase.
Most compressors operate in the range of 75% to 85% efficiency.
Combustor The purpose of the combustor is to increase the energy stored in
the compressor exhaust by raising its temperature.
Turbine The turbine acts like the compressor in reverse with respect to
energy transformation.
Most turbines operate in the range of 80% to 90% efficiency.
10
Principles of Operation Overall Energy Transformations (Thermal Efficiency)
Useful Work = Energy released in turbine minus energy absorbed by compressor.
The compressor requires typically approximately 50% of the energy released by the turbine.
Overall Thermal Efficiency = Useful Work/Fuel Chemical Energy *100
Typical overall thermal efficiencies of a combustion turbine are 20% - 40%.

Combining the Brayton and Rankine Cycles
Gas Turbine Exhaust used as the heat source for the Steam Turbine cycle
Utilizes the major efficiency loss from the Brayton cycle Advantages:
Relatively short cycle to design, construct & commission Higher overall efficiency Good cycling capabilities Fast starting and loading Lower installed costs No issues with ash disposal or coal storage
Disadvantages High fuel costs Uncertain long term fuel source Output dependent on ambient temperature

How does a Combined Cycle Plant Work?
43
Combined Cycle Heat Balance
44
Combined Cycles Today Plant Efficiency ~ 58-60 percent
Biggest losses are mechanical input to the compressor and heat in the exhaust
Steam Turbine output Typically 50% of the gas turbine output More with duct-firing
Net Plant Output (Using Frame size gas turbines) up to 750 MW for 3 on 1 configuration Up to 520 MW for 2 on 1 configuration
Construction time about 24 months Engineering time 80k to 130k labor hours Engineering duration about 12 months Capital Cost ($900-$1100/kW) Two (2) versus Three (3) Pressure Designs
Larger capacity units utilize the additional drums to gain efficiency at the expense of higher capital costs
45
Combined Cycle Efficiency
Simple cycle efficiency (max ~ 44%*) Combined cycle efficiency (max ~58-60%*) Correlating Efficiency to Heat Rate (British Units)
= 3412/(Heat Rate) --> 3412/ = Heat Rate* Simple cycle – 3412/.44 = 7,757 Btu/Kwh* Combined cycle – 3412/.58 = 5,884 Btu/Kwh*
Correlating Efficiency to Heat Rate (SI Units) = 3600/(Heat Rate) --> 3600/ = Heat Rate* Simple cycle – 3600/.44 = 8,182 KJ/Kwh* Combined cycle – 3600/.58 = 6,207 KJ/Kwh*
Practical Values HHV basis, net output basis Simple cycle 7FA (new and clean) 10,860 Btu/Kwh (11,457 KJ/Kwh) Combined cycle 2x1 7FA (new and clean) 6,218 Btu/Kwh (6,560 KJ/Kwh)

Cogeneration Plant
A Cogeneration Plant Power generation facility that also provides
thermal energy (steam) to a thermal host. Typical thermal hosts
paper mills, chemical plants, refineries, etc… potentially any user that uses large quantities of
steam on a continuous basis. Good applications for combined cycle plants
Require both steam and electrical power
