Near- Zero NOx Gas Turbine Combustion
This paper discusses the Gas Turbine Combustion program. Program goals directly support DER's vision of cleaner, smaller and more efficient units of power generation. It also provides new opportunities for greater local control of electricity delivery and consumption. Enable more efficient utilization of waste heat in combined heat and power...
Cooperative Research and Development of Primary Surface Recuperator for Advanced Microturbine Systems
The project goals were to improve the durability and cost performance of primary surface Recuperators (PSR's) for microturbine and turbine application. Recuperated Microturbine cycle efficiency increases with firing temperature. However, selection of affordable materials often restricts recuperator exhaust-side inlet temperature thereby restricting turbine-firing temperatures. The Microturbine Recuperator Program is designed...
Advanced Materials for Mercury 50 Gas Turbine Combustion System
This paper describes about Mercury 50 Advanced Combustion System. The program goals are to improve Mercury 50 Advanced Combustion System durability, reduce life cycle cost, minimize performance & engine/package design impact and expand technologies to current and future gas turbine engines. The program accomplished down-selected Solar 0.040" advanced TBC for...
Materials for Advanced Recuperators
Assist turbine manufacturers to be better positioned to offer more durable, higher efficient turbine generators that produce power at a competitive rate and allowing greater market penetration. The cleaner operating turbines will assist the US in meeting the country's environmental goals and the goals of the DER initiative. However, selection...
National CHP Project Spotlight: Solar Turbines CHP Installation Gives Critical Power Reliability (CPR) to Montefiore Medical Center Through the 03 Blackout
On August 14 and 15, 2003, parts of the northeastern and midwestern U.S. and southern Canada suffered the worst power blackout in history. In the Bronx, it was business as usual for Montefiore Medical Center MMC the night of the blackout and the following morning. In addition to being able...
San Diego State University : Case Study on Cogeneration Project
Seeking to manage its energy costs in a deregulated electricity market, while at the same time ensuring ultra-reliable, high-quality power to keep pace with its continuing growth, San Diego State University SDSU added an 11-MW cogeneration facility to its existing central plant complex. The elements of the project included a...
