The need for more fuel-efficient jet engines has led to a rise in compressor pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature respectively. The latter has been possible with advancements in turbine blade technology. Nevertheless, ...

The impact of compressor fouling on civil aero engines unlike the industrial stationary application has not been widely investigated or available in open literature. There are questions about the impact of fouling for ...

Improved operational flexibility of gas turbines can play a major role in stabilising the electric power grid, by backing up intermittent renewable power. Gas turbines offer on-demand power and fast dispatch of power that ...

Gas turbine Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions are directly proportional to combustion temperature. These contaminants are associated with respiratory diseases and damage to the local water quality and wildlife. Higher demand ...

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the combustion of natural gas-hydrogen blends in a lean premix gas turbine combustor has been investigated. Previous studies have mostly investigated the fuel blends at relatively low ...

Fouling of the compressor of a gas turbine is one of the major contributors to its performance degradation, not only in terms of a reduction in the potential power output revenue and increased fuel costs but also raising ...

This paper presents a well-researched subject area within academia, with a high degree of application in the industry. Compressor fouling effect is one of the commonest degradations associated with gas turbine operations. ...

With the transition to more use of renewable forms of energy in Europe, grid instability that is linked to the intermittency in power generation is a concern, and thus, the fast response of on-demand power systems like gas ...

To facilitate the transition from natural gas to a future hydrogen economy, the combustion of natural gas/hydrogen blends in gas turbines will play an important role in power generation. The influence of hydrogen content ...

The improvement of gas turbines flexibility has been driven by more use of renewable sources of power due to environmental concerns. There are different approaches to improving gas turbine flexibility, and they have ...
