Abstract:
The present research deals with the effect of steam injection to gas turbine engines. First, a comparison is made across the possible positions in the gas turbine for steam injection. Commercial software is used to investigate the pros and cons. Second, the investigation is focused on an industrial 4 MW gas turbine engine. Classical cycle and sensitivity analysis are performed and the operating envelope of the gas turbine engine with steam injection at various operating states as well as different environmental conditions is determined. Finally, a simulator based on Matlab Simulink is developed to examine the impact of different design and thermodynamic conditions of steam injection to the engine performance map
