A performance analysis was fulfilled to compare the steam recompression with the conventional single and dual-pressure bottoming cycles. The optimal parameters for each cycle were found in order to maximize the exergetic efficiency. Heat transfer surface was also calculated to show the differences in the size of the heat recovery steam generator which have a direct influence on the plant's costs. The optimal configurations for each cycle were also studied when steam injection is employed. The relative performance when steam extraction is varied between 0 and 20% of the gas turbine's compressor inlet mass flow rate, was also examined.

Abstract
A performance analysis was fulfilled to compare the steam recompression with the conventional single and dual-pressure bottoming cycles. The optimal parameters for each cycle were found in order to maximize the exergetic efficiency. Heat transfer surface was also calculated to show the differences in the size of the heat recovery steam generator which have a direct influence on the plant's costs. The optimal configurations for each cycle were also studied when steam injection is employed. The relative performance when steam extraction is varied between 0 and 20% of the gas turbine's compressor inlet mass flow rate, was also examined.File in questo prodotto:
