Microturbogas cogeneration systems for distributed generation: Effects of ambient temperature on global performance and components’ behavior

Comparative Exergoeconomic Analyses of Gas Turbine Steam Injection Cycles with and without Fogging Inlet Cooling

“…This can be particularly problematic since periods of peak load demand tend to increase in summer [1][2][3]. A method to enhance energy efficiency is cooling the inlet air to the gas turbine and inlet fogging [4].…”

Hybrid system with micro gas turbine and PV (photovoltaic) plant: Guidelines for sizing and management strategies

“…This scenario allows to perform a realistic forecast of the plant output and a study of its outcome is performed in section 4. In addition, it must be remarked that the error in the maximum power output estimation of an MGT is relatively low; in fact, a forecasting error of 1 C causes a variation of the maximum power output of around 1.22% [28]; therefore, this can be easily taken into account by including a declaration tolerance in the dispatchment accord with the electric grid manager. As an example, a tolerance of ±5% in the power output allows to concede an error on the forecast of the ambient temperature of over ±4 C.…”

Thermodynamic analysis on the part-load performance of a microturbine system for micro/mini-CHP applications

“…However, the success and widespread usage of large scale CHP systems have been mostly hampered by (i) the advancement and developments in the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) technology with the system efficiency as high as 58%, (ii) improved reliability, efficiency and resiliency of the power grids, and (iii) the performance gain in the vapor compression technology (less than 0.65 kW/ton) [5,6]. Nevertheless, the micro-/mini-CHP systems gained much interest lately with their excellent applicability in the residential sectors and small-tomedium power consumers such as hospitals, shopping centers and remote areas, and the demand in the distributed generation market [7]. Moreover, the emergence of the smart grid concept rejuvenates the interest in the CHP systems.…”
