This paper describes a methodology and results for the analysis of a small steam injected gas turbine cogeneration system. A performance analysis program for the gas turbine engine is utilized with modifications required for the model of steam injection and the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The object of simulation is a simple cycle gas turbine engine under development which adopts a centrifugal compressor. The analysis is based on the off-design operation of the gas turbine and the compressor performance map is utilized. Analyses are carried out with the injection ratio as the main parameter. The effect of steam injection on the power and efficiency of gas turbine and cogeneration capacity is investigated. Also presented is the variation in the main operating parameters inside the HRSG. Remarkable reduction in NOx generation by steam injection is confirmed. In addition, it is observed that for the 100% power operation the temperature of the cooled first nozzle blade decreases by 100.deg. C at full steam injection, which seems to have a favorable effect on the engine life time.

Performance improvements of the heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) can be achieved by improving the flow distribution of exhaust gases for a various type of different equipments. A number of design parameters are systematically investigated and their effects on an index of velocity deviation established. The parameters include the three shape of the transition duct and the wide range of the guide vane angles. The numerical results clearly reveal feature of the flow pattern in the transition duct, velocity deviation and pressure drop at tube bank part.

Operating characteristics of a triple pressure reheat HRSG are analyzed using a commercial software package (Gate Cycle by GE Enter Software). The calculation routine determines all the design parameters including configuration and area of each heat exchanger. The off-design calculation part has the capability of simulating the effect of any operating parameters such as power load, process requirements, and operating mode, etc., on the transient performance of the plant. The arrangement of high-temperature and intermediate-temperature components of the HRSG is changed, and its effect on the steam turbine performance and HRSG characteristics is examined. It is shown that there could be a significant difference in HRSG sizes even though thermal performance is not in great deviation. From the viewpoint of both economics and steam turbine performance, it should be carefully reviewed whether the optimum design point could exist. Off-design performance could be one of the main factors in arranging components of the HRSG because power plants operate at various off-design conditions such as ambient temperature and gas turbine load, etc. It is shown that different heat exchanger configurations lead to different performances with ambient temperature, even though they have almost the same performances at design points.

The dynamic behavior of a single-pressure heat recovery steam generator and turbine system for the combined cycle power plant is simulated on the basis of one-dimensional unsteady governing equations. A water level control and a turbine power control are also included in the calculation routine. Transient response of the system to the variation of gas turbine exit condition is simulated and effect of the turbine power control on the system response is examined. In addition, the effect of the treatment of inertia terms(fluid inertia and thermal inertia of heat exchanger metal) on the simulated transient response is investigated.

It is usually the contractual responsibility of HRSG(Heat Recovery Steam Generator) supplier to limit combustion turbine exhaust noise at cogeneration sites. Thus, it is necessary to predict the noise level from HRSG at the stage of preliminary design. HRSG is usually composed of inlet duct, main casing, outlet duct, stack. To satisfy the noise limit level, additional equipments are sometimes required - duct shroud, silencer. We develop algorithms for predicting the noise emission from all these equipments of HRSG units. For the convenience of user, we develop the GUI window version program, named NP-HRSG program. To evaluate the accuracy of this program, predicted noise levels from a real HRSG model are compared with measured data. Through this comparison, we observe that the maximum error is just about 3dB.

Heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) generate steam using the high-temperature exhaust energy of gas turbines. Structures of HRSG are damaged by flow induced vibration of flue gas in some cases. In order to evaluate fatigue life to predict damage to a structure, a vibration analysis caused from flue gas should be used to derive the Power Spectral Density(PSD). However, it is very difficult to experimentally derive the vibrations generated by the exhaust gas form of gas turbines, which is very fast and complex. It was able to establish a way to identify vibration characteristics depending on the location of the structure by using high computing resources, large eddy simulation (LES). Random vibration analysis through these vibration characteristics(PSD) can evaluate the fatigue life of a structure.

HRSG, which is one of main components of the combined cycle power plant,is composed of an inlet duct, a main body and casing, an outlet duct and a stack. It is important to design HRSG wihtin the allowable noise limit. For this purpose, it is necessary to analyze and predict the noise reduction and radiation at HRSG. In this paper, the technology for the noise prediction at each part of HRSG has been based on the empirical and field data, and also the HRSG noise prediction program has been developed. In order to verify the developed technology and program a field test is conducted. The results of noise prediction show good agreement with the measured.

Noise and vibration was encountered in exhaust duct system which is connected with a gas turbine and a heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) of a cogeneration power plants. Especially, these problems occurred when water was added to the fuel injection to reduce NOx contents of the exhaust gas. Through the cavity mode analysis and measurements, It was concluded that these problems occurred due to the acoustic resonance between the duct cavity mode and the excitation force induced by turbulent gas flow during water injection. To reduce the noise and vibration, optimal baffle plate to change the cavity mode was installed inside of duct and noise levels of about 8 dB(A) are reduced in duct system. The effects of baffle plate and guide vane to the HRSG or inlet duct vibration were also evaluated and it was verified that there is no relation to the resonance phenomena. So, vibration of inlet duct was easily reduced by the reinforcement of structures.

Diverging channel from gas burner exit to the inlet section of Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) has been re-designed for 1 MW steam supply and power generation system. Three different test geometries have been chosen for the numerical simulation. The existing design for 300 kW HRSG system (CASE B) has been improved by geometry and position changes of inlet guide vanes along with gas velocity entrance angle at the diverging channel inlet (CASE C). Both cases has been compared with the case where hot combustion gas is directly injected without any guide vanes (CASE A). Improved design shows overall uniform velocity and temperature distribution compared to existing design.
