This paper discusses two of the six software tools which are being developed as part of the Army Research Institute's MANPRINT Methods development program. The first tool discussed here is known as the System Performance and RAM Constraints Aid or SPARC. This tool permits system designers to determine levels of subfunction performance which are required to achieve function and higher level mission requirements. These levels of subfunction and function performance then serve as requirements which are fed into the second tool, the Manpower Systems Evaluation Aid (MAN-SEVAL). MAN-SEVAL takes as input the system design and then predicts the operator and maintainer manpower required to achieve the required levels of task and function performance. For maintenance manpower evaluation, MAN-SEVAL considers component failure rates, time to perform maintenance, and the mission scenario. For operator manpower and to estimate maintenance task times, MAN-SEVAL conducts an analysis of workload, control/display accessability, and maximum acceptable performance time to allocate tasks across crewmembers. Because all manpower requirements are truly driven by system performance requirements, these two tools are being developed collectively with common data bases and software design. While they are currently being developed for the Army, they will be useful general purpose manpower analysis tools.

Abstract An operator was developing a High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Completion design for the injector wells was cased-and-perforated, with no mechanical sand control. This led to the requirement for a tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) system, featuring deep-penetrating (DP) charges which would meet specific performance requirements, in order to enable the wells to achieve injectivity targets. A perforating system was therefore developed and qualified to meet these requirements. This was an integrated system development, including both mechanical and explosive components, with simultaneous attention to performance, reliability, and quality assurance in the eventual field environment. The development program yielded a 4-3/4-inch carrier system, perforating charges, firing head, and gun hanger. All key components and systems were qualified in customer-witnessed testing, and demonstrated to meet or exceed operational function and performance requirements. The pressure and temperature rating of the newly-developed system is 30,000 psi at 425 °F. Explosive train function reliability was demonstrated at 380 °F for up to 28 days. The newly-developed perforating shaped charge was confirmed to exceed the stringent penetration depth and casing hole diameter performance requirements at downhole conditions. The firing head offers operational flexibility by being configurable for up to 15 pressure cycles prior to detonation, with an adjustable initiation threshold pressure to reduce risk to the completion string. The gun hanger was customized and demonstrated to exceed load requirements, and reliably set and release, in a test configuration featuring operator-provided field casing.

MHI recently developed a 1600°C class J-type gas turbine, utilizing some of the technologies developed in the National Project to promote the development of component technology for the next generation 1700°C class gas turbine. This new frame is expected to achieve higher combined cycle efficiency and will contribute to reduce CO2 emissions. The target combined cycle efficiency of the J type gas turbine will be above 61.5% (gross, ISO standard condition, LHV) and the 1on1 combined cycle output will reach 460MW for 60Hz engine and 670MW for 50Hz engine. This new engine incorporates: 1) A high pressure ratio compressor based on the advanced M501H compressor, which was verified during the M501H development in 1999 and 2001. 2) Steam cooled combustor, which has accumulated extensive experience in the MHI G engine (> 1,356,000 actual operating hours). 3) State-of-art turbine designs developed through the 1700°C gas turbine component technology development program in Japanese National Project for high temperature components. This paper discusses the technical features and the updated status of the J-type gas turbine, especially the operating condition of the J-type gas turbine in the MHI demonstration plant, T-Point. The trial operation of the first M501J gas turbine was started at T-point in February 2011 on schedule, and major milestones of the trial operation have been met. After the trial operation, the first commercial operation has taken place as scheduled under a predominantly Daily-Start-and-Stop (DSS) mode. Afterward, MHI performed the major inspection in October 2011 in order to check the mechanical condition, and confirmed that the hot parts and other parts were in sound condition.

The 701G1 50Hz Combustion Turbine continues a long line of large heavy-duty single-shaft combustion turbines by combining the proven efficient and reliable concepts of the 501F and 701F. The output of the 701G1 is 255MW with combined cycle net efficiency of over 57%. A pan of component development was conducted under the joint development program with Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. and a part of the design work was carried out under the cooperation with Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the U.S.A. and Fiat Avio in Italy. This gas turbine is going to be installed to “Higashi Niigata Power Plants NO.4” of Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. in Japan. This plant will begin commercial operation in 1999. This paper describes some design results and new technologies in designing and developing this next generation 1500°C class advanced gas turbine.

Through an alliance established in 1992 between Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Rolls-Royce plc, a program has been implemented that will bring the industrial Trent aero engine to the power generation marketplace. The Rolls-Royce Trent has been initially sized at 50 MW, with a development potential to higher power ratings, and is offered by Westinghouse as a complete power generation package, the “Trent EconoPac”. The Trent EconoPac sets a new performance standard in the industry with a nominal simple cycle efficiency of 42 percent. It is also ideal for combined cycle and cogeneration applications; a net combined cycle power of 63 MW at 52 percent efficiency can be developed. This paper describes the Trent industrial engine and EconoPac and reviews the development program with emphasis on unique features that benefit the power plant operator.

This paper describes the development, application, and performance verification of a new patented technology for cleaning and cooling combustion air to a gas turbine. A two (2) year in-depth research program at Dow Chemical Company in Freeport, Texas resulted in the development of this technology. At the conclusion of the research and development program, full-scale application of the hardware was made on a 100 MW combined cycle gas turbine, and its performance monitored for two (2) years. Application of the new technology resulted in increased power output, higher reliability, NOx emission reduction, reduced maintenance costs, and higher total system efficiency. Since the new technology has produced very large cost savings, Dow is using the new technology on three new combined cycle machines currently being installed, and further is exploring conversion of existing combined cycle gas turbines to this new technology.

In recent years, electric two-wheelers are emerging as one of the alternatives to improve the sustainability of transportation energy and air quality, especially in urban areas. Although electric two-wheeler motorcycles are environmentally friendly, they underperform compared with gasoline two-wheelers in many respects, particularly in speed and cruise distance between refuelling and recharging. Therefore, the engine development program can be done with a dynamometer. Variables such as the shape of torque and power curves can be analyzed. Hence, this project is aimed to develop a chassis dynamometer that can be used to measure mechanical power, speed and torque, and provide a controllable load to the electric motorcycle being tested. The prototype of chassis dynamometer for electric motorcycle had been developed and performance of the chassis dynamometer was tested by using an electric bicycle to emulate the basic performance requirements of an electric motorcycle which consist of maximum speed, driving range and acceleration.
