Gas Turbine Performance Enhancements

Course No. M-2017

Credit: 2 PDH

Course Fee: $57.90 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: John R. White, P.E.

 

Overview

This 2-hour online course identifies and describes several methods of enhancing the performance of gas turbines (aka combustion turbines, or GTGs). By enhancing the performance, we mean increasing power output and /or improving the efficiency. The enhancements are described in terms of the hardware that can be included in the design or added as retrofits. Derivations of formulas are avoided, and while the bases of the enhancements are explained, this course does not delve very deeply into thermodynamics.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Be aware that there are several ways to increase power output and increase efficiency of gas turbines.
  • Be conversant in what some of these enhancements are.
  • Recognize advantages and disadvantages of certain enhancements.
  • Have an appreciation of the factors that go into the economic optimization of a combined cycle power plant design on the bases of the intended seasonal and life cycle load profiles, fuel costs, maintenance down time, climatic conditions, and others.
