Gas Turbine as Prime Mover

Prime mover : A machine that
transforms energy from thermal,
electrical or pressure form to
mechanical form; typically an engine
or turbine.
Gas Turbines vary in power output
from just a few kW more than 400,000
kW.
The shaft output can be used to
generate electricity from an alternator
or provide mechanical drive for
pumps and compressors.

Design Drivers :
Low Specific Fuel Consumption
Higher Pressure Ratios
Increased Cycle Efficiency
Increased number of compressor / turbine stages and
therefore cost
Complex Cycles
Increased Cycle Efficiency and/or Specific Power
Can impact operability, cost and reliability
Higher Firing Temperature
Requires increased sophistication of cooling systems
Can impact life and reliability and combustor emissions
Page 13
Nov 2010

Energy Sector
Design Drivers :
Availabilty, Cost and Emissions
High reliability.
Moderates the trend to increase firing temperature and cycle
complexity.
Low Emissions (Driven by environmental legislation)
More difficult to achieve with high firing temperatures and
combustion pressures
Lowest possible cost.
Encourages smallest possible frame size, i.e. high specific
power high firing temperature.
Reduced Pressure ratios (< 20:1) to avoid auxiliary fuel
compression costs
Compromise is required in the concept design to get the best

balance of parameters

Exhaust Emission Compliance

Emissions control:
Two types of combustion configuration need to be considered:
Diffusion flame
Dry Low Emissions (DLE or DLN) using Pre-mix combustion
Diffusion flame
Produces high combustor primary zone temperatures, and as NOx is a
function of temperature, results in high thermal NOx formation
Use of wet injection directly into the primary zone to lower combustion
temperature and hence lower NOx formation
Dry Low Emissions

Lean pre-mixed combustion resulting in low combustion temperature, hence
low NOx formation
With good design and control <25ppm NOx across a wide load and ambient
range possible
