New Generation

The modern power industry is characterized by intense development of distributed generation, with which numerous sources of different capacities are connected into a single network. This makes it possible to improve the reliability of the entire system, since the probability of several sources to fail simultaneously is quite low. Electric generation based on high-speed gas turbine units accounts for a significant share in the overall balance, due to which scientific research and new engineering solutions in this area are important and relevant. An innovative design of a high-speed gas turbine unit based on a switched axial generator is proposed. This electrical machine has a diamagnetic armature, which eliminates magnetic losses, due to which better efficiency of the power unit is achieved and its design is simplified. The high speed of rotation and the presence of critical resonant rotor speeds generated the need to adopt appropriate engineering decisions in regard of its supports. A combined suspension involving the use of magnetic and gas-dynamic bearings is proposed. The magnetic bearings support the gas turbine unit operation at low speeds during its acceleration, and the gas-dynamic bearings support its operation at high nominal speed. The generator design and the combined suspension layout are shown. The numerical analyses of magnetic and gas-dynamic bearings for a gas turbine unit for a capacity of 100 kW and rotation speed of 70 000 rpm are given. The study results can be used for a series of gas turbine units with capacities ranging from 10 to 500 kW. In our opinion, this concept is competitive with modern analogs with a radial generator design.

Results are presented from tests conducted using an experimental test facility to measure the leakage and dynamic impedance of smooth and honeycomb straight-bore annular gas seals. The test seals had a 114.3 mm (4.500 in.) bore with a length-to-diameter ratio of 0.75 and a nominal radial clearance of 0.19 mm (0.0075 in.). The honeycomb cell depth for both seals was 3.10 mm (0.122 in.), and the cell width was 0.79 mm (0.031 in.). Dynamic impedance and leakage measurements are reported using air at three supply pressures out to 1.72 Mpa (250 psi), three speeds out to 20,200 rpm, and exit-to-inlet pressure ratios of 40% and 50%. Comparisons to the predictions from the two-control-volume model of Kleynhans and Childs [1] are of particular interest. This model predicts that honeycomb seals do not fit the conventional frequency independent model for smooth annular gas seals. The experimental results verify this new theory. Numerical predictions from a computer program incorporating the new two-control-volume model of Kleynhans and Childs [1] correlate well with both measured seal leakage and dynamic impedances for the honeycomb seals.

Blade Tips

The creation and exploitation of gas turbine engines (GTE) often involve two mutually exclusive tasks related to ensuring the highest reliability while achieving a good economic and environmental performance of the power plant. The value of the radial clearance between the blade tips of the compressor or turbine and the stator is a parameter that has a significant impact on the efficiency and safety of the GTE. However, the radial displacements that form tip clearances are only one of the components of the displacements made by GTE elements due to the action of power loads and thermal deformations during engines’ operation. The impact of loads in conjunction with natural aging is also the reason for the wear of the GTE’s structural elements (for example, bearing assemblies) and the loss of their mechanical strength. The article provides an overview of the methods and tools for monitoring the dangerous states of the GTE (blade tips clearances, impellers and shafts displacements, debris detecting in lubrication system) based on the single-coil eddy current sensor, which remains operational at the temperatures above 1200 °C. The examples of practical application of the systems with such sensors in bench tests of the GTE are given.

Cold Starts

Modern combined cycle gas turbines are highly flexible in their operation, concerning start up, load change and shut down. Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) arranged downstream of the Gas Turbine (GT) are forced to operate in such a way, that the gas turbine operation is not restricted by them. Therefore, they should be designed for a high cycling capability with typical values in the range of 200 to 250 cold starts, 1000 warm and 2500 hot starts for their typical 25 year life span. Cold starts are defined as a standstill period of over 120 hours, warm starts to a weekend shutdown and hot starts to an overnight shut down. AE Energietechnik GmbH (AE), a Babcock Borsig Power company has specialized in designing, erecting and commissioning vertical natural circulation multiple pressure stage HRSGs. The vertical design combines simplicity and low investment costs with performance reliability and high availability. In order to forecast the dynamic behaviour of such a HRSG, AE has supported the development of a dynamic simulation code at the Institute of Thermal Engineering (ITW) located at the Vienna University of Technology. This finite volume code enables the prediction of velocities, pressures and temperatures for several dynamic processes of the HRSG. In the present paper computational results of starts and load changes will be presented for a vertical natural circulation HRSG. Furthermore, several design optimization changes which where made in order to increase operational reliability and availability will be demonstrated. Finally, practical applications of already constructed HRSG will be discussed and conclusions will be drawn.
