The behaviour of single- and dual-shaft gas turbines during off-design operation is examined. The differences in the performance are considered together with the type of application for which the gas turbine is built and operated. Comparisons with some commercial gas turbines are also presented. Performance variations produced by changes in ambient conditions are addressed, because most of the performance curves, provided by gas turbine manufacturers, present data as a function of ambient temperature. Control techniques that minimize the effect of ambient conditions on cycle performance of single- and dual-shaft gas turbines are also discussed.

Abstract

The behaviour of single- and dual-shaft gas turbines during off-design operation is examined. The differences in the performance are considered together with the type of application for which the gas turbine is built and operated. Comparisons with some commercial gas turbines are also presented. Performance variations produced by changes in ambient conditions are addressed, because most of the performance curves, provided by gas turbine manufacturers, present data as a function of ambient temperature. Control techniques that minimize the effect of ambient conditions on cycle performance of single- and dual-shaft gas turbines are also discussed.
