Industrial gas turbines are commonly used in steam combined heat and power (CHP) applications. CHP applications have significant environmental and economic benefits that are consistent with the goals of the U.S. Department of Energy. This presentation provides a status update for a DOE effort investigating the impacts of advanced internal cooling technologies for small (5-10 MW) gas turbine CHP applications. The potential efficiency impacts are 2-3 percentage points based on the model and the cooling technologies investigated in this project.
