Features of using gas turbine units as a source of electricity and heat at mini - thermal power plants

Abstract

This article discusses the problem of introducing more resource-intensive methods of generating electricity and heat, the main of which is the use of small-sized gas turbine units (GTU). The creation of a Mini-Thermal Power Plant on the basis of the GTU allows solving the problem of the shortage of heat and electric energy in certain regions, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to the housing and communal sector and industrial enterprises. This is due to the possibility of combined production of heat and electric energy, as well as products and services required in the municipal services of the city. This article presents ways to improve the energy efficiency of thermal power plants through the use of GTU.
