Abstract

A gas turbine system for NOx emission reduction and part load efficiency improvement is described. The system includes a gas turbine (12) having a compressor (13) which receives inlet-air (18). A direct-contact heat exchanger (30) heats and humidifies the inlet-air (18) before the inlet-air flows to the compressor (13). Heating the inlet-air (18) reduces an output of the gas turbine (12) and extends the turndown range. Humidifying the inlet-air (18) lowers NOx emissions from the gas turbine unit (12).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to gas turbines, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for operating gas turbines. Background technique [0002] Turbines, such as gas turbines, aeroderivative gas turbines, etc., typically operate in combined cycle and / or cogeneration modes. In combined cycle operation, a heat recovery steam generator that produces steam receives exhaust gas from a gas turbine; the steam then flows to a steam turbine that produces additional electricity. In cogeneration operation, a portion of the steam produced by the heat recovery steam generator is sent to a separate process that requires the steam. [0003] Gas turbines are often required to comply with emission limits while generating electricity. Gas turbines operating at part load may not be able to comply with emissions limits over the entire part load range (from spinning reserve to near base load). The turn down range can be considered as the load range ove...
