Analysis of fuel economy of small energy complex schemes based on gas turbine and wind-driven power plants

Abstract

Here the energy complex is considered, representing a combination of gas turbine and wind power plants. The combination of plants that operate on different types of fuel (renewable and organic) reduces fuel consumption in a gas turbine installation. Four schemes are described and a comparative analysis of the fuel economy of each scheme is compared with the separate production of electric energy at a conventional thermal power station. For this, a mathematical model for calculating the energy characteristics was developed. The analysis revealed that the energy complex, including a gas turbine without regeneration, a current converter, and a peak boiler, has the greatest cost-effectiveness.
