Description and Optimization of Gas Turbine Generator Sets

Abstract

Form this article, the author mainly interprets the principle and composition of gas turbine generator set, as well as discusses how to improve efficiency and treat exhaust gases, which including compressor interstage waste heat utilization for power generation, auxiliary catalytic technology and gas-steam turbine combined cycle. Taking the Rankine cycle based on compressor interstage waste heat as an example, it discusses how to recover and utilize the compressor interstage waste heat; through the analysis of the waste heat recovery system, it is concluded that the auxiliary catalytic technology plays an vital role in the operation of internal combustion engines; the analysis of the principle of the gas turbine combined cycle and the comparison of two kinds of combined cycles result in the conclusion that the gas-steam turbine combined cycle is a highly efficient and feasible means of optimizing the efficiency of the system. After exploring the three aspects, the author of this essay has finally come up with three reliable paths for optimizing gas turbine generator sets.
