Influence of the type of filter elements on the efficiency of gas turbine installations

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the feasibility of optimizing the air treatment system for gas turbine plant by using modern technical solutions for air filtration that have a uniform filtration potential. The analysis of the overlooked benefits of combined heat plant, related to emergency shutdowns due to the destruction of the axial compressor, "lost"profit associated with underperformance development of electric energy and capacity at a deviation of technical and economic parameters of the gas turbine unit from nominal values in the pollution of the axial compressor. An assessment of the impact of unscheduled flushing and replacement of the integrated air purifier's filter elements to restore the gas turbine unit's electric power was carried out. An economic analysis of the optimization of the working environment preparation system for gas turbine plant was performed. The actual payback period of the optimized filtration system was 0.3 months, and the annual costs of the station decreased by 2.5 million rubles.
