Effect of Alternative Fuels and Operating Conditions on the Performance and Emissions of a Gas Turbine

Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10

Abstract

In this paper we have covered different potential liquid and gaseous alternative fuels such as biodiesel, pyrolysis wood gas, biogas of methanisation for gas turbine, their properties and composition and their effect on its emission and its combustion performance. There is a good progress for the clean combustion of low calorific value fuel such as biomass and hydrogen enriched fuels by using gasification and lean premixed combustion, which gives low emission particularly NOx. After analysing these alternative fuels, it has been found that the bio-diesel is the best suited alternative for an existing gas turbine and its performance will be compared on various parameters i.e. thermal efficiency, power output, Emission, Specific fuel consumption etc. The effect of operating conditions such as water or steam injection on emission formation and performance will also be studied with the different combinations of alternating fuels. The wet compression consists of injecting atomised water into the compressor inlet air stream, this water evaporates and cools the inlet air so it reduces compressor work and increases mass flow rate.
