The Effect Of Gas Turbine Inlet Air Temperature On Electricity Production Effiency In Trigeneration Power Plants

OpenAlex İngilizce

In this study, the operation of gas turbines used to generate energy in trigeneration plants with turbine inlet air at various temperatures was investigated. In today's world, the importance of energy and its efficient use is increasing. Developing population and technologies have increased the energy we need, and thus energy costs have reached serious levels. All these reveal the necessity of using energy efficiently. Trigeneration power plants provide less fossil fuel consumption than conventional production because they have high efficiency, prevent line losses with on-site electricity generation, and provide combined energy production. In our study, the increase in electricity production efficiency by cooling the inlet air of the Solar Turbines Taurus 60 gas turbine used in the trigeneration power plant was examined. It was determined that there was a 30.08% increase in active power efficiency in electricity production by cooling the turbine inlet air from 41.2 °C to 9.1 °C.
