Combined Cycle Units – An Alternative to Reciprocating Engines in Terrestrial Propulsion Field - Estimation of Performances

Abstract:

Currently, Combined Cycle Power Plants represent the most advanced technology in the domain of high and medium power generation units operating with fossil fuels. Consequently, the interest for their implementation in the propulsion systems field is justified. At this moment, Combined Cycle Units are used for propulsion only on ships (marine propulsion). The present study goes one step further by referring to a small scale Combined Cycle Unit configured for operation as terrestrial propulsion system and based on a two-pressure-levels Steam Cycle. The performances of this unit are analyzed function by the compressor pressure ratio and HRSG feed water temperature.
