Gas-turbine cogeneration system with steam injection. Final report, April 1983-July 1989
A gas-turbine topping-cycle cogeneration system utilizing the Allison 501-KH gas turbine has been developed to specifically meet the needs of industrial cogenerators in the 2-10 MWe range. The steam-injected cogeneration system has been installed in the General Motors Hydra-Matic plant in Warren, Michigan. Operation of the cogeneration system commenced in June 1988. The cogeneration system was installed with sufficient instrumentation to allow performance monitoring over a one-year period. Tests measured the NOx and carbon monoxide emission levels and the effectiveness of the passive steam cleanup system. As expected, the measurements show the NOx emissions decreased as the steam injection rate was increased. Small amounts of steam injection seem to reduce the carbon monoxide emitted, but as the steam injection rate is increased further, the emitted levels of carbon monoxide increased significantly. The passive steam cleanup system was very effective at removing contaminants from the steam.
