High-performance large-capacity gas turbines for 60 Hz power generation. In February 1997, the first unit of the 1,500°C Class M501G gas turbine came into commercial operation. This series features the use of steam for cooling combustors. The GAC Series, which is the current mainstay model, adopts the latest air-cooled combustors in place of
The combustion (gas) turbines being installed in many of today''s natural-gas-fueled power plants are complex machines, but they basically involve three main sections: The compressor, which draws air into the engine,
Natural gas is an odorless, gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons—predominantly made up of methane (CH4). It accounts for about 30% of the energy used in the United States. About 40% of the fuel goes to electric power production and the remainder is split between residential and commercial uses, such as heating and cooking, and industrial uses.
This review presents a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in hydrogen-fueled gas turbines, focusing on their impacts on gas turbines, economic
Many older, decommissioned coal power plants are being replaced with highly efficient natural gas turbines. In someplaces where fuel is imported, such as in Europe and Asia, highly efficient turbines are
Arsalis [68] developed a detailed thermodynamic modeling of a natural gas/hydrogen-fueled gas turbine system to investigate the effect of hydrogen injection in terms of CO 2 emission reduction.
