A comprehensive literature survey of the field of gas turbine math modeling and performance monitoring is presented. The development of the modeling techniques has been traced from the earliest and simplified cycle analysis procedures through to…
A description of the detailed performance models is presented in terms of a typical two-shaft engine. The primary features of the model include a component matching scheme as well as the ability to degrade any component including the sensors. The…
An executed NDA is required from Solar Turbines to have access to this document.
The low load control algorithm for Solar Turbines' TaurusTM 60-7802S has been modified and evaluated in a field trial at the TransCanada Glenville Compressor Station.…
When natural gas is combusted, formaldehyde is formed as an intermediate product as methane is converted to CO2 during combustion. Formaldehyde is regulated by the U.S. EPA as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) under National Emission Standards for…
The objective of the project is to identify starter concepts for starting pipeline gas turbines, classify them according to their readiness for use with a pipeline gas turbine, and evaluate the suitability of each concept for use in pipeline…
The primary objective of the test program was to evaluate byproduct emissions at steady state and transient operating conditions for two commercially available SCR catalysts used in gas turbine applications. Both NOX removal efficiency and ammonia…
Investigate the application of techniques which could be used to increase the efficiency of gas turbines applied to gas transmission compression facilities.
A study was performed on methods to determine the remaining creep life of gas turbine blades. The objective of the study was to develop a remaining creep life methodology that will allow greater life to be obtained from these very expensive engine…
