Calculated Ground Level Concentration of Pollutants From Gas Turbine Using an Air Quality Display Model Computer Program

Abstract

This paper contains the calculated ground level concentrations of air pollutants from 11 gas turbine models. These calculations were made using Charlotte, N.C. meteorological data. Four of these are simple cycle machines covering a range of size from 5050 hp to 65 MW and four are regenerative machines. Another three are combined cycle (STAG) machines, two machines having unfired and one having a fired heat recovery steam generator. The calculations were made using a slightly modified version of the United States Environmental Protection Agencies Air Quality Display Model Computer Program.
