Advanced gas-turbine steam injection. Topical report, September 1987-February 1989
The report describes the methodology used to develop and optimize design concepts for adding advanced steam injection techniques to the GE LM1600 aeroderivative gas turbine. Steam injection conceptual mechanical designs and preliminary performance results are also described. Preliminary applications evaluations revealed significant cogeneration market opportunities for natural gas fired gas turbine systems in the 10-20 MW system size range. The LM1600 falls within this range, producing about 13 MW dry and about 17.5 MW with full steam injection. The addition of steam injection features to the LM1600 significantly increases power output and efficiency, provides an effective means for reducing NOx emissions, offers reduced plant equipment costs by eliminating the need for a steam turbine bottoming cycle, and provides the capability to make rapid on-line adjustments in power-to-steam outputs.
