Definitions
- This invention relates to supplying a mixture of augmenting compressed air and steam to a combustion turbine for power augmentation.
- the output or capacity of a combustion turbine usually falls off with increasing temperature at the inlet to the compressor component. Specifically, the capacity of the compressor component to supply air to the combustion process and subsequent expansion through the turbine is reduced as the compressor inlet temperature is increased (usually due to increased ambient temperature) .
- the turbine component and combustion component of the combustion turbine usually have the capability to accept more compressed fluid than the compressor component can supply when operating above a certain inlet temperature .
- the present invention provides a design method for simple and combined cycle gas turbine power plants, to improve the output power during high ambient temperature operation.
- the invention concerns a method for increasing the mass flow through the turbine component or section by injection of a mixture of compressed air and steam at the gas turbine compressor discharge and/or in the combustion system, thereby improving the power output of the gas turbine power plant.
- the thermodynamic efficiency is also improved in simple cycle gas turbine power plants.
- the invention described herein proposes to use an external motor driven compressor and steam generated using the energy of the turbine exhaust gases to inject a steam-air mixture at the gas turbine compressor discharge or in the combustion system to increase the mass flow through the gas turbine, and thereby increase the power output of the power cycle.
- the purpose of the Steam Air Injection Cycle in accordance with this invention is for gas turbine power augmentation at high ambient temperature conditions.
- the heat rate is also reduced due to the use of gas turbine exhaust heat for steam generation.
- Power augmentation with steam injection may be limited by the maximum steam injection limits of the dry low NOx combustion system.
- the injection of air with the off-base compressor provides additional power augmentation capability for the gas turbine .
- the compressor may include a closed loop intercooling system, where the heat absorbed by the cooling water in the intercooler is rejected to the ambient via a cooling tower in the closed loop cooling water system.
- the compressor may also include inlet guide vanes for air flow control, a modulating blow-off valve to protect from surging during periods of low process demand, and protection for overload conditions by limiting the maximum air flow.
- the steam and air mixture is supplied directly to the inlet of the combustor.
- the steam is generated in a waste heat boiler where the feed water entering the boiler is superheated to a temperature of ⁇ 700°F.
- the feed water flow control valve is modulated to control feed water flow to be equal to the gas turbine flow demand, up to the maximum steam injection limit for the given operating condition.
- the mixture of steam and air is reheated in an upstream section of the heat recovery boiler before it is supplied to the combustor inlet.
- the compressed discharge air from the external compressor is heated to -700°F. in a downstream section of the heat recovery boiler before it is mixed with the superheated steam.
- the invention relates to a land based gas turbine plant comprising a turbine compressor, a turbine section, and a combustor between the compressor and the turbine section; a heat recovery boiler incorporating at least one heat exchange section arranged to receive exhaust gas from the turbine section, the heat recovery boiler receiving water passed in heat exchange relationship with the exhaust gas to produce steam; and an external compressor for supplying augmenting combustion air, wherein the steam produced in the heat recovery boiler is mixed with the augmenting combustion air to produce a mixture of steam and air that is injected into the combustor.
- the invention in another aspect, relates to a land based gas turbine plant comprising a turbine compressor, a turbine section, and a combustor between the compressor and the turbine section; a heat recovery boiler incorporating at least one heat exchange section arranged to receive exhaust gas from the turbine section; and means for increasing mass flow through the turbine section to thereby improve power output of the gas turbine plant .
- the invention relates to a method of increasing mass flow through a turbine section of a land based gas turbine plant that includes a turbine compressor, the turbine section and a combustor, the method comprising: a) supplying compressed air from an external compressor; b) supplying steam generated by water passing in heat exchange relationship with exhaust gases from the turbine section; c) mixing the compressed air from the external compressor with the steam; and d) supplying a mixture of the compressed air and the steam to the combustor.
- FIGURE 1 is a schematic diagram of a moist air injection system for a simple cycle gas turbine in accordance with the first embodiment of the invention
- FIGURE 2 is a schematic diagram of a moist air injection system in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a moist air injection system in accordance with a third embodiment of the invention.
- a simple cycle gas turbine diagram 10 is illustrated.
- Ambient air is input via line 12 to an external compressor 14.
- Air discharged from the compressor 14 via line 16 is mixed at a mixing Tee (represented at 21) with superheated steam generated in a heat recovery boiler 18, via line 20.
- the resultant steam-air mixture is supplied via line 22 to line 26 between the discharge of turbine compressor 24 and the inlet to the combustor 28 where it mixes with the compressor discharge air before entering the combustor 28 (the latter is supplied with fuel via line 30) .
- Combustion gases (via line 32) drive the turbine section 34 that in turn drives the generator or other equipment 36 via shaft 38.
- Figure 2 illustrates a variation of the arrangement shown in Figure 1 and, for convenience, reference numerals similar to those used in Figure 1, but with the prefix "1" added, are used in Figure 2 to designate corresponding elements.
- the steam-air mixture resulting from mixing the external compressor discharge air in line 116 and steam from the heat recovery boiler 118 via line 120 is further heated in an upstream section of the heat recovery boiler 118 via lines 44, 46 such that heat from the gas turbine exhaust is transferred to the steam-air mixture, prior to being mixed with the compressor discharge air from the turbine compressor 124. Heating the steam-air mixture in this manner, i.e., using gas turbine exhaust energy, further reduces fuel consumption and increases the thermodynamic efficiency of the power cycle.
- Figure 3 shows another variation of the arrangement shown in Figure 1 and, for Figure 3, reference numerals similar to those in Figure 1, but with the prefix "2" added, are used to designate corresponding components.
- the compressor discharge air from the external compressor 214 is heated to -700° F. in a downstream section of the heat recovery boiler 218 via lines 48, 50, before mixing with the superheated steam supplied via line 220, and before subsequent injection into the gas turbine combustion system via line 222.
