POWER AUGMENTATION OF PGE GORZOW’S GAS TURBINE BY STEAM INJECTION – THERMODYNAMIC OVERVIEW Paweł Ziółkowski, Marcin Lemański, Janusz Badur, Lucjan Nastałek Key words: Cheng cycle, STIG cycle, combined cycle, steam injection, gas turbine Summary. The impact of steam injection upon a gas turbine and a combined power plant performance has been investigated. This article describes and summarizes possibilities of modification for current gas turbine in PGE Gorzow power plant into the Cheng cycle. Our modification deals with a thermal cycle, in which steam produced in a heat recovery steam generator is injected into the gas turbine’s combustion chamber. It has been proved that an increase of the mass flow rate of the expanded exhaust gases causes an increase in both the power and efficiency of gas turbine. Steam injection also helps to reduce NOx formation and is profitable from a thermodynamic, economic and ecological standpoint. The numerical analysis of thermal cycles, before and after the modification, has been carried out by means of an in-house COM-GAS code and Aspen Plus commercial package.

1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, energy companies to reach out the environmental requirements of Directive 2010/75/EU of European Parliament and of the Council, have to generate electricity at the highest efficiency and at minimum emission level of both nitrogen and carbon oxides [19]. Hence, to fulfill this, it is necessary to carry out number of modernization of many old existing power stations or construct new highefficient units such as coal and combined power plants. One manner of the modification of the existing gas-steam units is steam or water injection into the gas turbine combustion chamber, usually realized by CHENG or STIG cycle [4,5]. It is well documented that steam injection improves both the efficiency and power of the gas turbine and also reduces harmful emissions of nitrogen and carbon oxides into the atmosphere [4]. At present, the steam injection system for power augmentation and reduction of NOx is offered by dominant gas turbine companies such as General Electric, Rolls-Royce, Kawasaki, etc. [12]. Apart from that, these companies offer other methods for reducing nitrogen oxides to comply with emissions regulations. Among them, one can distinguish the following pre- and post-combustion techniques: dry low NOx burners, water injection, selective catalytic and non-catalytic reduction or SCONOx [9,10].

2. LITERATURE SURVEY Many studies have been carried out on the gas turbine with the steam injection. As of 1978, when Cheng proposed a gas turbine with the steam injection, the retrofitted gas turbines have been widely analyzed and developed [4,5,21]. Cheng suggested that the whole steam produced in heat recovery steam generator HRSG can be used for injection into a gas

turbine combustion chamber which results in both power and efficiency increase and NOx reduction. Saad and Cheng [13], proposed a modification of a gas turbine General Electric LM2500 into the Cheng cycle. After that, a lot of attempts have been made to analyze gas turbine retrofitted to operate on the Cheng or STIG cycle. Poullikkas [12] reported that the positive effect of a steam or water injection can be also applied in more complicated cycle like DRIASI and LOTHECO cycle or turbocharged steam injected gas turbine. Wang and Chiou [16] showed that the STIG modification of a simple cycle gas turbine General Electric Frame 6B can boost its efficiency from about 30 % to 40 % and the power output from 38 to 50 MWe. Carapellucci and Milazzo [3] analyzed the existing gas-steam power plant repowered by an additional gas turbine and heat recovery stem generator. These new equipments are integrated within the original thermal cycle and produce steam for a steam injection into the gas turbine combustion chamber. In this way, the existing gas turbine can be transformed into the steam injected gas turbine (STIG). As a result, the power of such repowered power plant can be increased by 50 %, simultaneously decreasing the overall efficiency by 3-6 %. Srinivas et al. [14] reviewed STIG cycle with dual pressure HRSG. They investigated the effect of steam injection mass ratio (steam to fuel mass ratio) and concluded that for complete combustion in the gas turbine combustion chamber the maximum limit for the steam injection mass ratio is identified as   m s / m f  6.0 . However, to get a stable combustion, steam is only injected up to the ratio of   3.0 . Additionally, they noted that with the steam injection increase, the gas and steam cycle’s efficiency changes accordingly [14].

Some of discussed results are directly related to the present paper. We describe the thermodynamic analysis of modification of PGE Gorzow combined power plant (gas and steam one) into the Cheng idea. The numerical calculations have been carried out in the CFM (Computational Flow Mechanics) code i.e. COM-GAS code [15] and Aspen Plus software. The main aim of this work is to estimate the modified power plant’s parameters i.e. power output, efficiency, emission, etc. and compare it to operational parameters of the same class gas turbine with the steam injection. It should be emphasized that this method of modification has already been successfully implemented in a gas-steam power plant in ECK Generating Kladno, Czech Republic [22]. Both ECK Generating Kladno and PGE Gorzow power plants operate on a 54.5 MWe-class gas turbine (GT8C) manufactured by Alstom Power.

The gain of gas turbine power is possible, because mass flow rate of the expanded exhaust gases increases due to the steam injection. In addition, the power consumed by the compressor remains practically unchanged. Steam or water injection can take place both at the inlet and outlet of the gas turbine combustion chamber. Greater benefits may be expected when steam is injected at the inlet of the combustion chamber, because it leads to the drop of combustion temperature. As a result, the emission of nitrogen oxides decreases, since the temperature of the combustion process is the main factor influencing on the rate of formation of nitrogen oxides. The water or steam injection at the outlet of the combustion chamber lowers only the temperature of the exhaust gases expanded in the turbine increasing its power. Typically, the injection is used at the inlet and at the outlet of the combustion chamber to obtain optimal benefits [6,8].

3. CHENG CYCLE The numerical analysis of PGE Gorzow combined plant has been carried out for the modernization of a simple gas turbine into the turbine with the steam injection in the so-called CHENG cycle. As presented in Fig.1, this cycle in comparison to typical gas-steam cycle contains only restricted number of components. There is no steam turbine and classical condenser in the modified cycle. Nevertheless, an additional heat exchanger is necessary to recover water from the exhaust gases outgoing from heat recovery steam generator [18]. By introducing the steam injection into the combustion chamber, the efficiency gain and the power increase are expected. On the other hand, steam expansion in the gas turbine proceeds only to the atmosphere pressure, so the efficiency of gas turbine cycle is always lower than the steam turbine one, in which the available drop of pressure is significantly higher [12].

5. NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS OF COMBINED POWER PLANT The numerical calculations of conventional combined power plant have been carried out using two numerical codes i.e. COM-GAS and Aspen Plus. The detailed information concerning numerical modeling and its assumptions can be found in [18]. Table 2 summarizes the results of thermodynamic calculations in comparison to data included in available literature for the thermal cycle presented in Fig.2 [11,17,20]. As it is shown in Table 2, the electrical efficiency of the only 54.5 MWe - class gas turbine averages between  el* =33.64 % and  el* =34.29 % depending on the software used during modeling process. Moreover, the electrical efficiency of the combined power plant have been estimated at  el =40.43 % by means of COM-GAS code and  el =41.21 % with the aid of Aspen Plus package. The carbon dioxide emission CO2 and nitrogen oxides emission NOx, estimated in Aspen Plus code, approaches nearly 493 kg/MWh and 0.324 kg/MWh, respectively. The obtained results should be regarded as satisfactory in spite of existing differences between results from both codes and literature data.

6. MODIFICATION OF COMBINED POWER PLANT INTO THE CHENG CYCLE Scheme of Cheng cycle applied into the gas turbine is presented in Fig.3. The numerical calculations of the modified cycle have been carried out in Aspen Plus package. It has been assumed that steam produced by HRSG has the following thermodynamic parameters: - steam pressure ps=40 bar, - steam temperature ts=450 oC,  s =23.2 kg/s (β=2.77). - steam mass flow rate m The remaining operational parameters of gas turbine have been kept unchanged as it is presented in Table 2.

Nr 1(98) - 2012

Generally, the discussion involving the influence of steam injection mass ratio β on the electrical efficiency and power of gas turbine is conducted f under the assumption that the fuel mass flow rate m remains constant. Thus, the comparison of results for the gas turbine performance with different steam injection mass ratio β is presented in this paragraph. According to the literature [14], the present analysis has been carried out for steam injection mass ratio only in the range of β=0-2.77 due to a fact that the heat recovery steam generator can only produce steam  s =23.2 kg/s. at maximum steam mass flow rate of m In the Cheng cycle, steam injection mass ratio β is usually close to the value of 3.0 to prevent unstable combustion conditions in combustion chamber [14].

Fig. 3. Scheme of Cheng system with the GT8C gas turbine in Aspen Plus code [18].

In order to find the optimal β ratio some additional calculations of the combustion chamber by means of CFD software (Computational Fluid Dynamics) are needed. It should be noticed that the mass flow rate of  s is the only variable factor that injected steam m influences both the drop of the exhaust gas temperature and an increase of gas turbine power [18]. The results of calculations of the thermal cycle with various β ratios are shown in Fig.4 - Fig.9. The analysis shows that despite of the steam turbine’s power decrease, the overall power of combined power plant increases. Analyzing the results, it can be seen that electrical efficiency of combined power plant averages  el =41.21 % (no steam injection, β=0), however the modification of this cycle to Cheng cycle

gives an additional gain in both power and efficiency. The power and electrical efficiency of modified cycle averages  el =42.05 % (maximum steam injection, β=2.77) and N el =66.92 MWe, respectively [18]. It should be also emphasized that the power of N el =66.92 MWe has been estimated for β=2.77. It means that the power generated by steam turbines is  s is zero, because the entire steam mass flow rate m injected into the gas turbine. Fig.4 shows that the increase of steam injection mass ratio leads to increase the gas turbine power, as well as the power of the combined cycle, although the power output of steam turbines decreases. The gas turbine reaches

mentioned above value of N el = 66.92 MWe of power output, which is comparable with the performance of similar Cheng cycle in Kladno, in Czech Republic ( N el =66.90 MWe). A significant increase of both power output and electrical efficiency of Cheng cycle is obtained by the gas turbine, whose power output has increased by approximately N el =12.4 MWe. This implies that the power output of gas turbine is approximately of 23% higher than the initial power output of the gas turbine without the steam injection [18]. For the maximum load of the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), the maximum mass flow rate of  s =23.2 kg/s (β=2.77) can be injected into steam of m the combustion chamber. It can be achieved for the minimum temperature difference between produced steam and exhaust gases. According to literature survey, the value of pitch point should be at least ΔTk=8 K [2]. The minimal pitch point in the HRSG has been assumed as ΔTk=8 K [18]. This value is acceptable at this level in case of the heat recovery steam generators used in polish combined power plants. For instance, combined power plant in Zielona Gora works under the similar thermal conditions (ΔTk=8.9 K). Fig.5 shows the temperature diagram versus thermal loading of heat recovery steam generator for the case, when β ratio is kept constant and equal to β=2.77.

steam, characterized by β ratio, decreases both the temperature of combustion tTIT and emission of nitrogen oxides NOx. For the analyzed case, the carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides emission decreased approximately by ΔCO2=10 kg/MWh and ΔNOx=0.008 kg/MWh, respectively. The trend of changes in emission of nitrogen oxides NOx versus the combustion temperature has been kept linear, instead of exponential character reported in literature [7], due to a constant value of the conversion rate of nitrogen assumed in the calculations. This assumption is acceptable because the real emissions should be much lower in a range of analyzed combustion temperatures [18]. To estimate an accurate emission level of nitrogen oxides, it is necessary to use a 3D model of combustion chamber and burners in CFD framework [1].

HRSG is not necessary, since the minimum temperature difference between the exhaust gas and steam is maintained at an acceptable level, i.e. about ΔTk=8 K. As a result, the β ratio increases from β=2.77 (ps=40 bar) to β=2.82 (ps=25 bar). In Cheng cycle, steam temperature is desired to be as high as possible, since the higher thermal energy is then extracted from the exhaust gases. Summarized results of the calculations are presented in Table 3.

7. COMPARISON OF PGE EC GORZÓW AND ECK GENERATING KLADNO To compare the performance of PGE Gorzow and ECK Generating Kladno, the numerical calculations of PGE Gorzow in Cheng cycle at identical operating parameters coming from ECK Kladno power plant have been carried out. In ECK Kladno, steam is injected at the following steam parameters: temperature ts=400 oC, pressure ps=25 bar and mass  s =23.6 kg/s. As a result, the power output flow rate m of gas turbine due to the steam injection increases to N el =66.90 MWe. For these steam parameters, the calculations of modified cycle of PGE Gorzow power plant have been performed. The estimated power output of gas turbine is about N el =66.15 MWe, what is shown in Table 3 [18].

The numerical analyses of proposed modernization show that the power augmentation by steam injection into gas turbine’s combustion chamber gives an increase of efficiency and power. The main conclusions concerning the modification of PGE Gorzow power plant into the so - called Cheng cycle are listed below: - Steam for power augmentation can be produced in the current heat recovery steam generator up to steam injection mass ratio β=2.77. - Electrical efficiency of classical combined power plant approximates  el =41.21 %. The steam injection (Cheng cycle) increases the electrical efficiency to  el =42.05 %, for steam injection mass ratio equal to β=2.77 (power generation by the gas turbine only, excluding steam turbines). - The power of classical combined power plant has been estimated at N el =65.49 MWe. Modification of thermal cycle into the Cheng cycle (β=2.77) increases the power to N el =66.92 MWe. - The gain of power and electrical efficiency by steam injection is about 23 %. - Application of Cheng cycle reduces carbon dioxide emission CO2 and nitrogen oxide emission about 10 kg/MWh and 0.008 kg/MWh, respectively, in comparison to pre- modernization power plant. - Comparison of results of numerical simulation with technical data for ECK Generating Kladno confirms possibilities of modification of PGE Gorzow power plant into the Cheng idea. The estimated operational parameters of PGE Gorzow for the same steam parameters are in a good agreement with real operational parameters of ECK Kladno power plant.
