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

CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE
Myth: Condition-based maintenance is always better than fixed-schedule maintenance. Condition-Based Maintenance CBM, as opposed to fixed-schedule maintenance, offers advanced diagnostic techniques and powerful tools for improved predictions of maintenance requirements and parts replacement intervals for gas turbine packages. If properly used, CBM can lead to significant operations and...
CARBON FOOTPRINT OF ELECTRIC DRIVES, THE
Myth: Compression stations with electric motors have a reduced CO2 footprint. Legislation and regulation on CO2 emissions are affecting the decision-making process for building new natural gas compression stations. To minimize CO2 emissions, the installation of electric motor drivers rather than gas turbines to power the centrifugal compressors...
