In this study, an in-house program to analyze the performance degradation for gas turbines is developed using MATLAB and is validated using commercial software. This program consists of design and off-design calculations. The results of design calculation is used for reference values of off-design calculation. The off-design calculation is composed of measured and expected performance analyses, and turbine inlet temperature correction. In general, performance degradation is analyzed by comparing the results of measured and expected performance analysis. However, if gas turbine performance degrades, turbine inlet temperature might increase due to the general control logic to comply with the power demand. Therefore, it is required to consider the deviation of turbine inlet temperature from the normal value in the performance diagnosis to analyze the performance degradation exactly. In this study, a special effort is given to the correction of turbine inlet temperature. The accuracy of the developed program is confirmed by comparison with commercial software, and its capability of performance diagnosis using the turbine inlet temperature correction is demonstrated.

최근 가스터빈 발전기는 전력계통의 주파수 조절용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 가스터빈의 입구온도는 기기의 성능과 수명에 관련된 핵심요소이지만 터빈구조 및 운전환경 등의 이유로 입구온도를 직접 측정하지 않고 가스터빈 배기가스 온도 측정값을 이용하여 입구온도의 추정 값을 구해 이를 연소제어에 사용하고 있다. 특히 재열 가스터빈의 입구온도는 안정적 운전관리에 있어서 매우 중요하지만 제작사가 산출 식에 대한 정보를 제공하지 않고 있어 현장 실무자들은 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 폴리트로픽 과정식의 기반 위에 머신러닝 기반의 선형회귀 분석기법을 사용하여 가스터빈의 입구온도를 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 선형회귀분석을 통해 얻어진 입구온도 산출 모델식의 유용성 분석과 검증을 통해 입구온도 산출 알고리즘을 제안함으로서 재열 가스터빈 연소튜닝 기술수준 향상에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Afterfogging of the regenerative gas turbine system has an advantage over inlet fogging in that the high outlet temperature of air compressor makes the injection of more water and the recuperation of more exhaust heat possible. This study investigates the effects of turbine inlet temperature (TIT) on the performance of regenerative gas turbine system with afterfogging through a thermodynamic analysis model. For the standard ambient conditions and the water injection ratios up to 5%, the variation of system performance including the thermal efficiency is numerically analyzed with respect to the variations of TIT and pressure ratio. It is also analyzed how the maximum thermal efficiency, net specific work, and pressure ratio itself change with TIT at the peak points of thermal efficiency curve. All of these are found to increase almost linearly with the increases of both TIT and water injection ratio.

Turbine inlet temperature is steadily increasing to achieve high specific thrust and efficiency of gas turbine engines. Turbine cooling technology is essential to increase turbine inlet temperature. For this study, a small or medium sized aircraft engine of 10,000 lbf class with the turbine inlet temperature of $1,400^{\circ}C$, the engine overall pressure ratio of 32.2, and the bypass ratio of 5 was set as the baseline model and its performance analysis was performed at the design point. The engine has the performance of 10,013 lbf thrust and the specific fuel consumption of 0.362 lbm/hr/lbf. The thrust and the specific fuel consumption of the baseline model were compared with those of similar class engines. Based on these results, the turbine design requirements were assigned. In addition, the parametric analysis of the engine, related to aerodynamic and cooling design of the high pressure turbine, was performed. Based on the baseline model engine, the influence of turbine inlet temperature, cooling flow ratio, and high pressure turbine efficiency variations on the engine performance was analyzed.

터빈 또는 압축기와 같은 터보기계의 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 입구의 유동을 측정해야 한다. 입구의 평균된 유동을 측정하기 위해서는 일반적으로 여러 개의 엘리먼트를 가진 레이크를 여러 개 사용해서 원주방향과 반경방향으로 평균된 유동을 사용한다. 그런데 터빈 입구에서 레이크를 사용하여 터빈 입구의 유동을 측정하면 레이크에서 유동을 측정한 후 레이크 자체가 손실을 일으키므로 터빈 입구에서의 전압력에 차이가 있을 뿐 아니라 교란된 유동이 터빈의 성능에 기대하지 않은 영향을 미치는 문제점이 있다. 그러므로 터빈 입구에 고정적으로 설치한 레이크로 측정한 데이터로는 정확한 터빈의 성능을 평가하는데 오차를 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 터보기계의 시험시 레이크와 레이크 후단에서 프로브를 이용한 상세 유동 측정을 통하여 레이크의 손실을 측정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 이 방법을 사용하여 시험을 수행한 결과를 제시하였다.

Numerical simulations of high temperature catalytic combustion have been performed for the application to a gas turbine combustor. Dependences of inlet temperature and pressure on the distributions of temperature and species concentrations were investigated using plug flow model with detailed homogeneous and heterogeneous chemistries of methane-air mixtures. Honeycomb typecombustor deposited with Pt catalyst of 100mm in length and 26mm in diameter is used. The results show that rapid increase of temperature profile occurs earlier with the increase of inlet temperature and the decrease of inlet pressure. The condition which catalytic combustion is stabilized exists at certain range of inlet temperature and pressure. The state of catalytic combustion is also confirmed by the distributions of species concentration.

국내 전력계통의 주파수 조정용 발전기로 사용되고 있는 가스터빈은 탄소중립 정책과 더불어 신속한 기동·정지 및 높은 열효율 등으로 인해 이용률이 증가하고 있다. 가스터빈은 고온의 화염을 이용하여 터빈을 회전시키기 때문에 터빈 입구온도가 기기의 성능과 수명을 좌우하는 핵심요소로 작용하고 있다. 하지만 입구온도는 직접적인 측정이 불가능함에 따라 제작사가 산출한 온도를 이용하거나, 현장 경험을 토대로 하여 예측된 온도를 적용하고 있어서 가스터빈의 안정적인 운전 및 유지관리에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인공신경망에서 많이 사용되고 있는 DNN(: Deep Neural Network) 기반으로 하는 재열 가스터빈의 입구온도를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 제시하고 실측 데이터를 기반으로 제안된 DNN의 성능을 검증하고자 한다.

The combustion characteristics have been investigated to develop the 50 kW-class gas turbine combustor. The combustor design program was developed and applied to design this combustor. The combustion air which has the temperature of 45, 200, $300^{\circ}C$ were supplied to combustor for elucidating the effect of inlet air temperature on CO, NOx emissions and flame temperature. The exit temperature and NO were increased and CO was decreased with increasing inlet air temperature. Also, the effect of equivalence ratio was considered to verify the combustor performance. The emissions of CO and NO with inlet air temperature can be analyzed qualitatively by measuring the temperature inside the combustor. The combustion performance with fuel schedule was evaluated to get the informations of the starting and part loading process of gas turbine. The combustion was stable above the equivalence ratio of 0.18. The pattern factor which is the important parameter of combustor performance was satisfied with the design criterion. Consequently the combustor was proved to meet the performance goal required for the target gas turbine system.

This work describes analysis on the effect of inlet air cooling by the cold energy of liquefied natural gas(LNG) on the performance of gas turbines. Gas turbine off-design analysis program to simulate the influence of compressor inlet temperature variation is prepared and an inlet air cooler is modeled. It is shown that the degree of power augmentation is much affected by the humidity of inlet air. If the humidity is low enough, that is the water content of the air does not condense, the temperature drop amounts to $18^{\circ}C$, which corresponds to more than 12% power increase, in case of a $1350^{\circ}C$ class gas turbine with methane as the fuel. Even with 60% humidity, about 8% power increase is possible. It is found that even though the fuel contains as much as 20% ethane in addition to methane, the power improvement does not change considerably. It is observed that if the humidity is not too high, the current system is feasible oven with conceivable air pressure loss at the inlet air cooler.

In this work, numerical parametric studies on spray combustion have been conducted. In simulation of turbulence, RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}model$ is adopted. Initial spray distribution is specified by Rosin-Rammler distribution function. Eddy break-up model is adopted as a combustion model. The parameters considered are inlet air temperature, swirl number, and SMD. With higher inlet air temperature, the axial velocities are increased and penetration of primary jet is stronger than that of lower inlet air temperature and temperature at the exit of combustor is more uniform. Combustion efficiency is improved with high inlet air temperature. The effect of swirl number on flow field is not significant. It affect only recirculation zone. So temperature at upstream of combustor is influenced. Combustion efficiency deteriorate as SMD of fuel spray increase.
