dc.description.abstractExergetic and exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental analyses have been performed for an advanced aero-derivative intercooled gas turbine engine. The proposed system was modelled using the IPSEpro software package and validated using manufacturer’s published data. The exergoeconomic model evaluates the cost-effectiveness of the gas turbine engine based on the Specific Exergy Costing [SPECO] method. The CO2 emissions per KWh were estimated using a generic combustor model, HEPHAESTUS, developed at Cranfield University. It is well known that the exergetic analysis can determine the magnitudes, locations and types of losses within an energy system. The effect of load and ambient temperature variations on gas turbine performance were investigated for two different configurations. The first system, Case-I, was a simple gas turbine (SCGT) engine, and the second, Case-II, an intercooling gas turbine (ICGT) system. The latter enhances gas turbine efficiency but, at the same time, has an adverse effect on the combustion chamber due to reduced compressed air temperature. It was confirmed that full load and low ambient temperature are preferable due to the low waste exergy. The unit exergy cost rate for both SCGT and ICGT have been calculated as 8.59 and 8.32 US$/GJ respectively. The exergoenvironmental results show the ICGT achieved lower emission levels and is more environmentally friendly than the SCGT.en_UK
