Greater use is being made of dynamic simulation of energy systems as a design tool for selecting control strategies and establishing operating procedures. This paper discusses the dynamic modeling of a gas-fired combined-cycle power plant with a gas turbine, a steam turbine, and an alternator—all rotating on a common shaft. A waste-heat boiler produces steam at two pressures using heat from the gas turbine flue gas. The transient behavior of the system predicted by the model for various upset situations appears physically reasonable and satisfactory for the operating constraints.

The paper will deal with new developments on basis of the ideas, laid down in ASME paper 90-GT-180, presented at the Brussels Conference. In this former paper a combination of incinerators and cogen systems was described. New development show, that some of these ideas can also be used in cogen plants, in which all steam is raised and superheated in a waste heat boiler behind a high grade fuel fired gas turbine (natural gas or equivalent). This paper will deal give a description of the new system. A comparison will be made with conventional cogen systems, comprising of a gas turbine, a dual pressure non-fired waste heat boiler and a condensing steam turbine. On basis of a particular case study both the technical and financial performances will be compared with each other.

The paper describes M21 cruise marine combined cycle plant for SLAVA class cruisers (COGAG arrangement). Three guided missile cruisers (Figure 1) are powered by these plants (two plants for each cruiser). During this plant development the more strict demands on weight and size had been taken into account as compared with M25 plants for merchant ships. The paper shows technical data of M21 combined cycle plant, descriptions and design features of SPA MASHPROEKT GT 6004R gas turbine with reversible free power turbine, waste-heat recovery boiler, steam turbine with a condenser and a common gear unit. More than 10 year service experience of these plants is shown in this paper.

The paper describes the history of design, development and 15 years’ sea-going experience of the MASHPROEKT combined cycle plants. Four R060 type ships powered by eight combined cycle plants each rated at. 25.000 h.p. and three naval ships with six cruise combined cycle plants each rated at. 10, 000 h.p. are in service now. Using of combined cycle permitted to increase their thermal efficiency by 20–30 per cent. To increase efficiency at a speed of 15…18 knots, a special mode of operation is used: the gas turbine and waste heat boiler operate at one board and steam generated by this waste heat boiler is used for a steam turbine of other board. Total operation life of all marine gas turbine units exceeds 330,000 hours.

This paper investigates on a gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant with ATR syngas production and proposes a new process to use a gas turbine and waste heat recovery gas/steam streams preheater to replace the fired heater. The new process features cascade utilization of fuel gas energy, as fuel gas is firstly used in a gas turbine (GT) at very high temperature and then lower-temperature GT exhaust gas is further used for preheating. Large exergy loss of heat transfer in the fired heater is eliminated. The improved process has an equivalent power generation efficiency of 80% which is significantly higher than conventional technology. Economic analysis indicates 129.8 M$ revenue would be produced over the lifetime if the extra power from a 15,000 bbl/d GTL plant can be exported to the grid at the price of cost of electricity for a conventional natural gas fired combined cycle plant.

The article provides an overview of modern high-performance combined-cycle plants and gas turbine plants with waste heat boilers. The forecast for the introduction of gas turbine equipment at TPPs in the world and in Russia is presented. The classification of gas turbines according to the degree of energy efficiency and operational characteristics is given. Waste heat boilers are characterized in terms of design and associated performance and efficiency. To achieve high operating parameters of gas turbine and boiler equipment, it is necessary to use, among other things, modern water treatment equipment. The article discusses modern effective technologies, the leading place among which is occupied by membrane, and especially baromembrane methods of preparing feed water-waste heat boilers. At the same time, the ion exchange technology remains one of the most demanded at TPPs in the Russian Federation.

In this paper is carried out a comparison between a gas turbine power plant and a combined cycle power plant through exergetic and environmental indices in order to determine performance and sustainability aspects of a gas turbine and combined cycle plant. First of all, an exergetic analysis of the gas turbine and the combined is carried out then the exergetic and environmental indices are calculated for the gas turbine (case A) and the combined cycle (case B). The exergetic indices are exergetic efficiency, waste exergy ratio, exergy destruction factor, recoverable exergy ratio, environmental effect factor and exergetic sustainability. Besides, the environmental indices are global warming, smog formation and acid rain indices. In the case A, the two gas turbines generate 278.4 MW; whereas 415.19 MW of electricity power is generated by the combined cycle (case B). The results show that exergetic sustainability index for cases A and B are 0.02888 and 0.1058 respectively. The steam turbine cycle improves the overall efficiency, as well as, the reviewed exergetic indexes. Besides, the environmental indices of the gas turbines (case A) are lower than the combined cycle environmental indices (case B), since the combustion gases are only generated in the combustion chamber.

The complex characteristics of the gas turbine in a combined cycle unit have brought great difficulties in its control process. Meanwhile, the increasing emphasis on the efficiency, safety, and cleanliness of the power generation process also makes it significantly important to put forward advanced control strategies to satisfy the desired control demands of the gas turbine system. Therefore, aiming at higher control performance of the gas turbine in the gas-steam combined cycle process, a novel fuzzy model predictive control (FMPC) strategy based on the fuzzy selection mechanism and simultaneous heat transfer search (SHTS) algorithm is presented in this paper. The objective function of rolling optimization in this novel FMPC consists of two parts which represent the state optimization and output optimization. In the weight coefficient selection of those two parts, the fuzzy selection mechanism is introduced to overcome the uncertainties existing in the system. Furthermore, on account of the rapidity of the control process, the SHTS algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem rather than the traditional quadratic programming method. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed through simulation experiments of the gas turbine in a combined power plant. The simulation results demonstrate the remarkable superiorities of the adopted algorithm with higher control precision and stronger disturbance rejection ability as well as less optimization time.

Final component and technology verification tests have been completed for application to a 2600°F rotor inlet temperature gas turbine. These tests have proven the capability of combustor, turbine hot section, and IGCC fuel systems and controls to operate in a combined cycle plant burning a coal-derived gas fuel at elevated gas turbine inlet temperatures (2600–3000°F). This paper presents recent test results and summarizes the overall progress made during the DOE-HTTT Phase II program.
