…of efficiency, for a total efficiency of 58%. This data-file tabulates the operating parameters of gas turbines. $399.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Why do gas turbines matter? Recuperated Brayton cycles…
…gas turbines in the energy transition, an overview of thermodynamic cycles, a build up of the efficiencies of gas turbines, operating parameters of gas turbines and typical economics of CCGTs….
…came from burning 150bcfd of natural gas in 2023, generating 6,750 TWH of electricity from a fleet of 1.9 TW of gas turbines. The basic functioning, cost and efficiency of…
…mega-trains to the global LNG market. Other regions such as the US have seen utilization rates of gas turbines rise, due to improving economics of gas, linked to the rise…
Levelized costs of combined cycle gas turbines are built up in this data-file. Our base case costs of gas-fired power generation are 8c/kWh, at a combined cycle turbine converting 55%…
Combined heat and power systems are 20-30% lower-carbon than today’s gas turbines, as they capture waste heat. They are also increasingly economical to backstop renewable-heavy grids. Amidst uncertain policies, the…
This data-file models the economics of turbo-charging gas turbines, which increases the mass flow of combustion air, in order to improve their power ratings c10-20%. This is especially important to…
…and the future role of natural gas in the energy transition. “Gas turbines are better, but steam turbines had to come first” (pages 9-10). Otto and Diesel Cycles are the…
…steam engines, then oil-fired engines, and later gas turbines. What is remarkable and under-appreciated when homogenizing coal, oil and gas as “fossil fuels” is that they each tend to harness…
…This data-file reviews technical papers. Methane slip is very low at gas turbines and gas heating (less than 0.1%), rising to 0.5 – 3% in cookstoves and some dual-fuel marine…
