Development of a simulation model to research environmental index of a GTP-110 gas turbine operating as part of a combined cycle gas turbine power unit under changing operational and external climatic factors

Abstract

Combined-cycle technologies to produce electrical and thermal energy are the most popular and promising all over the world. Their efficient application, however, has encountered a number of interdisciplinary problems. The present study was carried out on a mathematical model of a CCGT power unit. The results of the study are presented, allowing us to assess the impact of operational and environmental parameters on the stability of the combustion process in the combustion chamber of a GTP-110 gas turbine unit, and to determine the compatibility of environmental indicators with the standards for gas turbine operation with a wide range of loads, taking into account the technological and design constraints of thermal mechanical equipment. The main implementation features of a simulation model of a gas turbine unit (GTU) in the SimInTech dynamic modeling environment are considered.
