Significant fluctuations of the current temperature and relative humidity of the ambient air lead to significant changes in the thermal load on the cooling system at the inlet of gas turbine units (GTU), which acutely raises the problem of choosing their installed (design) thermal load. Calculations of ambient air cooling processes were carried out for different climatic conditions, for example, southern Ukraine (Mykolaiv) and Central China (Beijing). It is  analyzed two methods of determination of the installed (design) cooling capacity of the ambient air cooling system at the GTU inlet according to the maximum current reduction of fuel consumption and according to the maximum rate (increase) of annual reduction of fuel consumption following to increasing of the installed cooling capacity, calculated by summarizing the current values of fuel consumption reduction. It is shown that the values of the installed cooling capacity of the air cooling system at the GTU inlet, determined by both methods, are close enough but differ significantly for different climatic conditions. The advantage of the method of calculating the installed cooling capacity of the air cooling system at the GTU inlet according to the maximum rate of annual reduction in fuel consumption is the possibility of a more precise definition of it due to the absence of significant fluctuations in the annual reduction in fuel consumption, calculated by summarizing the current values of fuel consumption reduction. Since the maximum reduction in fuel consumption per year is achieved with some decrease in the rate of its increment at high values of the design cooling capacity, required in the hottest hours in the summer and excessive in somewhat cool periods (at night and in the morning even in the summer), the installed cooling capacity, determined according to the maximum rate of the reduction of fuel consumption, will be insufficient in times of increased thermal loads above their design value. In such cases, the elimination of the deficit in cooling capacity is possible by using an excess of cold accumulated during reduced thermal loads

Air Cooling System

The efficiency of cooling ambient air at the inlet of gas turbines in temperate climatic conditions was analyzed and reserves for its enhancing through deep cooling were revealed. A method of logical analysis of the actual operation efficiency of turbine intake air cooling systems in real varying environment, supplemented by the simplest numerical simulation was used to synthesize new solutions. As a result, a novel trend in engine intake air cooling to 7 or 10 °C in temperate climatic conditions by two-stage cooling in chillers of combined type, providing an annual fuel saving of practically 50%, surpasses its value gained due to traditional air cooling to about 15 °C in absorption lithium-bromide chiller of a simple cycle, and is proposed. On analyzing the actual efficiency of turbine intake air cooling system, the current changes in thermal loads on the system in response to varying ambient air parameters were taken into account and annual fuel reduction was considered to be a primary criterion, as an example. The improved methodology of the engine intake air cooling system designing based on the annual effect due to cooling was developed. It involves determining the optimal value of cooling capacity, providing the minimum system sizes at maximum rate of annual effect increment, and its rational value, providing a close to maximum annual effect without system oversizing at the second maximum rate of annual effect increment within the range beyond the first maximum rate. The rational value of design cooling capacity provides practically the maximum annual fuel saving but with the sizes of cooling systems reduced by 15 to 20% due to the correspondingly reduced design cooling capacity of the systems as compared with their values defined by traditional designing focused to cover current peaked short-term thermal loads. The optimal value of cooling capacity providing the minimum sizes of cooling system is very reasonable for applying the energy saving technologies, for instance, based on the thermal storage with accumulating excessive (not consumed) cooling capacities at lowered current thermal loads to cover the peak loads. The application of developed methodology enables revealing the thermal potential for enhancing the efficiency of any combustion engine (gas turbines and engines, internal combustion engines, etc.).

It is proposed the definition of the installed (rational) refrigeration capacity of a waste heat-recovery absorption-ejector chiller that utilizes the heat of the exhaust gases of a gas turbine unite to cool the air at the inlet. Since the effect of air cooling, in particular in the form of a reduction in the specific fuel consumption, depends on its depth (the magnitude of the decrease in air temperature) and duration, it is proposed to determine it by the annual fuel economy. As an example of air cooling at the inlet of a gas turbine unit, the value of reducing specific fuel consumption due to cooling the air at the inlet to the temperature of 15 °C by an absorption lithium-bromide chiller and two-stage air cooling: to a temperature of 15 °C in an absorption lithium-bromide chiller and down to 10 °C – in a refrigerant ejector chiller as the stages of a two-stage absorption-ejector chiller, depending on the installed (design) refrigeration capacity is analyzed.It is shown that proceeding from the different rate of increment of the annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption due to the change in the thermal load in accordance with the current climatic conditions, it is necessary to choose such design heat load for the air cooling system (installed refrigeration capacity of the chillers), which ensures the achievement of the maximum or close to annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption at relatively high rates of its increment. In order to determine the installed refrigeration capacity, which ensures the maximum annual refrigeration capacity (annual production of cold), the dependence of the increment of annual fuel economy from the installed refrigeration capacity is analyzed. Based on the results of the investigation, it was proposed to determine the rational thermal load of the air cooling system (installed - the design refrigeration capacity of the chiller) in accordance with the changing climatic conditions of operation during the year, which provides a maximum annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption at relatively high rates of its increment

Two-stage Gas turbine unite (GTU) inlet air cooling by absorption lithium-bromide chiller (ACh) to the temperature 15 °C and by refrigerant ejector chiller (ECh) to 10 °C through utilizing the turbine exhaust gas heat for changeable ambient air temperatures and corresponding heat loads on the air coolers for the south Ukraine climatic conditions is analysed. An excessive refrigeration capacity of combined absorption-ejector chiller (AECh) exceeding the current heat loads and generated at decreased heat loads on the air coolers at the inlet of GTU can be used for covering increased heat loads to reduce the refrigeration capacity of AECh. The GTU inlet air cooling system with an ambient air precooling booster stage and a base two-stage cooling air to the temperature 10 °C by AECh is proposed. The AECh excessive cooling capacity generated during decreased heat loads on the GTU inlet air coolers is conserved in the thermal accumulator and used for GTU inlet air precooling in a booster stage of air cooler during increased heat loads. There is AECh cooling capacity reduction by 50% due to the use of a booster stage for precooling GTU inlet ambient air at the expense of an excessive cooling capacity accumulated in the thermal storage.

The cold output for the heat-moisture treatment of ambient air in air conditioning systems depends on its parameters (temperature and relative humidity), which vary significantly during operation. To determine the installed (design) cooling capacity of air conditioning system chillers, it is proposed to use a reduction in fuel consumption of a power plant or cooling capacity generation following its current conditioning spending over a certain period, since both of these indicators characterize the efficiency of using the installed cooling capacities of the air conditioning system. To extend the results of the investigation to a wide range of air conditioning units, two methods were used to determine the design cooling capacity (refrigerating capacity): by the maximum annual value and by the maximum growth rate of the efficiency indicator. The first method allows choosing the design cooling capacity, which provides a maximum annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption due to air cooling or maximum cooling capacity generation, which is necessary for air cooling following current climatic conditions. The second method allows determining the minimum design (installed) cooling capacity of chillers, which provides the maximum rate of reduction in fuel consumption by the power plant and the increment in the annual cooling capacity generation following the installed cooling capacity of chillers. The efficiency of air conditioning systems was analyzed for different climatic conditions: a temperate climate using the example of Voznesensk city (Ukraine) and the subtropical climate of Nanjing city (China). It is shown that the design cooling capacity values calculated by both indicators of its use efficiency are the same for the same climatic conditions. Wherein, if to determine the design cooling capacity by both methods - by the maximum annual value and the maximum rate of growth of the indicator, its values turned out to be quite close for tropical climatic conditions and somewhat different for a temperate climate.

Temperature Depression

Inlet air temperature increase results in a considerable reduction in GTCC power output. Present design of inlet air cooling system usually applied static method, which considered a constant depression of inlet air temperature, an approximate estimate of runtime, output power increase and fuel consumption variation per temperature depression, etc. However, to a crumb, at least another two problems should be studied. One is GTCC performance variation with inlet air temperature, since the kilowatt increment per centigrade is not a constant; the other is off design performance of inlet air cooling system, since the inlet air temperature depression through the cooling system varies with the actual operation conditions, such as ambient air temperature and cooling water temperature, etc. This paper presents an economic evaluation with numerical integration method on GTCC inlet air cooling with absorption chiller. For a typical GTCC composed of series E gas turbine and combined components, their non-dimensional performance curves are fitted with regression equations. Associating with these equations, the inlet air temperature characteristics of GTCC are simulated; and the fitted analytical expressions for GTCC inlet air temperature characteristics are also presented. The simulation method of off design performance of a typical absorption chiller is described. For a typical GTCC with inlet air cooling in south China area, integrated with the everyday typical weather data, GTCC everyday average output power and fuel consumption, output power increment and GTCC fuel consumption increment are simulated. The simulation results show that, for every 1°C depression in inlet air temperature, the GTCC output power increases 0.5%, while heat rate varies slightly and trends towards a rise at the inlet air temperature of about 15°C. Research on inlet air cooling scheme (Scheme 10°C, cooling the ambient air temperature from ambient temperature 30°C to 10°C) shows that, Scheme 10°C yields annual average 16°C of inlet air temperature depression. Economic evaluation based on numerical integration indicates that, in the case of Scheme 10°C, annual output power increases by 8.27%, fuel consumption rate increases by 1.03%; payback period approximately amounts to 2.0 years when power price is 12 cent/(kW.h) and fuel cost is $265/t.

Alternative Scenarios

The operation of gas turbines at ambient air temperatures higher than the ISO standard conditions (15°C) causes performance penalties both in the generated power and the efficiency of the engine. At high inlet-air temperatures, there can be a power loss of more than 20% combined with a significant increase in specific fuel consumption, compared to the ISO standard conditions. Thus, over a long period of time, gas turbines have a lower power output and efficiency than the equipment could actually perform. It is the purpose of this work to present the possibilities and advantages from the integration of an innovative air-cooling system for reducing the gas turbine intake-air temperature. The advantages of this system are demonstrated by examining alternative scenarios of usage, representative of different countries and different climatic conditions.

Since the supply air conditioning systems operation effect depends on the cooling duration and depth, it is quite justified to estimate it by the value of the specific annual cold production, which is the product of the necessary cooling capacity for cooling the air to the target temperature multiplied by duration of operation at a given cooling capacity and, thus, considers current climatic conditions. Obviously, the realization of the cooling potential (air conditioning) of the ambient air depends on the installed (design) cooling capacity of the air conditioning units, which, in turn, must considering fluctuations in thermal loads by the current variable thermal and humidity parameters of the ambient air. With an increase in the temperature of the ambient air, fuel consumption for the production of a unit capacity (mechanical/electrical energy) increases, and, accordingly, the more harmful substances are removed to the atmosphere with exhaust gases. To reduce the negative impact of unproductive fuel consumption during the operation of air conditioning systems at elevated ambient temperatures, resort to various methods for determining the installed cooling capacity of the installation, to reduce it. In the work, the ecological efficiency of air cooling is studied considering the climatic operating conditions for the Kyiv city that are variable during the year. The annual reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide CO2 and nitric oxide NOX was chosen as indicators for assessing the environmental effect of air cooling. It has been shown that when choosing the installed cooling capacity, by the method of ensuring the maximum growth rate of the annual cold production considering the increase in the installed cooling capacity of the chiller, there is a greater reduction in specific fuel consumption compared to the method of choosing the maximum annual cold production, respectively, and harmful emissions. When comparing the methods for choosing the design cooling capacity, air cooling to 15 °C provides a reduction in carbon dioxide CO2 emissions of more than 34 t for 2017 for the climatic conditions of Kiev, in favor of the method of ensuring the maximum growth rate of annual cold production, and nitric oxide NOX – about 5,8 t.

It is proved a possibility of using the thermohour cooling potential method, developed by the author, for defining the installed (design) refrigeration capacity of term transformer (refrigeration machine), providing a maximum rate of thermo-hour cooling potential increasing according to the current climatic conditions for a definite period of operation.It is proposed to define the effect, gained due to cooling air, in particular at the inlet of GTU, depends on duration and depth of cooling, by thermohour potential ÕS,°С·h, as air temperature decrease Δta  multiplied by duration τ of GTU operation at decreased temperature: ÕS = ∑(Δta ∙°τ), which to some extent characterizes heat load on the cooling system.It is shown that taking into consideration a different rate of annual thermohour cooling potential arising with increasing the installed refrigeration capacity of term transformer, caused by changing the heat load according to current climatic conditions during a year, it is necessary to choose such design heat load on the air cooling system (refrigeration capacity of term transformer) that provides a maximum value of annual thermohour cooling potential or close it with relatively high rates of its increasing.   To define the installed refrigeration capacity, providing a maximum rate of annual thermohour cooling potential increasing, it is analyzed the dependence of annual thermohour cooling potential related to the installed refrigeration capacity of term transformer, from the installed refrigeration capacity of term transformer.

The efficiency of applying air conditioning units for comfort and energetics for a certain period, as well as any power plant, is determined by the effect obtained, primarily in the form of reducing fuel consumption over the year or increasing the production of electrical (mechanical) energy in the case of air conditioning at the heat engine inlet and by annual cold production as an indicator of the efficiency of using the cooling capacity of comfort air-conditioning plants. Since in both cases the effect depends on the duration and depth of cooling, it is quite justified to estimate it in the first approximation by the thermal hourly potential, which is the result of summation hour by hour of air temperature drops multiplied by duration of operation at a lowered temperature and, thus, takes into account current climatic conditions. Obviously, the realization of the cooling potential (air conditioning) of the ambient air depends on the installed (design) cooling capacity of the air conditioning units, which, in turn, must take into account the fluctuations in thermal loads in accordance with the current variable thermal and humidity parameters of the ambient air. Based on the different rates of the increment of the annual thermal hourly cooling potential with an increase in the installed cooling capacity of the air conditioning unit due to a change in the heat load in accordance with current climatic conditions during the year, it is necessary to choose such a design thermal load on the air conditioning unit (its installed cooling capacity) that ensures maximum or close to it the annual thermo-hour cooling potential at a relatively high rate of its increment, respectively, and the effect of cooling in the form of a decrease in fuel consumption per year in the case of air conditioning at the inlet of heat engine and annual cold production of comfort air conditioning units. It is shown that under the same climatic conditions during the year and the depth of ambient air cooling, the rational values of the design cooling capacity of air conditioning units for comfort and energy purposes are the same.
