    Amélioration des performances des turbines à gaz par injection de vapeur d’eau en amont de la chambre de combustion
    (2008) Bouam, A.; Aissani, S.; Kadi, R.
    Le rôle des turbines à gaz, dans la production d’électricité, de l’industrie pétrolière et dans les réacteurs à neutrons rapides refroidis en utilisant l’hélium comme fluide caloporteur a pris une attention particulière ces dernières années. A cet effet, différentes méthodes (régénération, refroidissement intermédiaire, préchauffage et injection de la vapeur d’eau) ont été utilisées afin d’améliorer les performances des cycles de turbines à gaz. Dans cette optique, la méthode d’injection de la vapeur d’eau à l’amont de la chambre de combustion d’une turbine à gaz a été proposée, étudiée et comparée avec un cycle simple. L’objectif principal de ce travail consiste à la réalisation d’un programme de calcul de l’influence des conditions ambiantes sur les caractéristiques des différents composants de la turbine à gaz, telles que la compression, la combustion et la détente. Une fois que les paramètres de fonctionnement optimaux sont connus, le recalcul des performances de l’installation a été effectué en injectant des quantités convenables de vapeur d’eau à l’amont de la chambre de combustion. Les résultats obtenus de l’influence des conditions ambiantes sur les performances de la turbine à gaz sans injection de la vapeur d’eau et l’influence des conditions standards sur le début d’injection, selon ceux trouvés dans la littérature simulés par le code de calcul thermodynamique ‘Thermoptim’, sont en bonne concordance avec la variation qualitative de ces conditions, dans le cas d’un fonctionnement normal sans injection de la vapeur. Ces résultats sont représentés sous forme de courbes en deux et à trois dimensions pour une meilleure illustration des phénomènes physiques

    Combustion chamber steam injection for gas turbine performance improvement during high ambient temperature operations
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2008) Bouam, A.; Aissani, S.; Kadi, R.
    The gas turbines are generally used for large scale power generation. The basic gas turbine cycle has low thermal efficiency, which decreases in the hard climatic conditions of operation, so the cycles with thermodynamic improvement is found to be necessary. Among several methods shown their success in increasing the performances, the steam injected gas turbine cycle (STIG) consists of introducing a high amount of steam at various points in the cycle. The main purpose of the present work is to improve the principal characteristics of gas turbine used under hard condition of temperature in Algerian Sahara by injecting steam in the combustion chamber. The suggested method has been studied and compared to a simple cycle. Efficiency, however, is held constant when the ambient temperature increases from ISO conditions to 50°C. Computer program has been developed for various gas turbine processes including the effects of ambient temperature, pressure ratio, injection parameters, standard temperature, and combustion chamber temperature with and without steam injection. Data from the performance testing of an industrial gas turbine, computer model, and theoretical study are used to check the validity of the proposed model. The comparison of the predicted results to the test data is in good agreement. Starting from the advantages, we recommend the use of this method in the industry of hydrocarbons. This study can be contributed for experimental tests

    Gas turbine performances improvement using steam injection in the combustion chambre under Sahara conditions
    (2008) Bouam, A.; Aissani, S.; Kadi, R.
    Gas turbines are generally used for large scale power generation. The basic gas turbine cycle has low thermal efficiency which decreases in the hard climatic conditions of operation, so it is important to look for improved gas turbine based cycles. Among several methods shown their success in increasing the performances, the steam injected gas turbine cycle (STIG) consists to introduce a high amount of steam at various points in the cycle. The objective of the present work is to improve the performances of gas turbine used under Sahara conditions by injecting suitable quantities of steam in the upstream of combustion chamber. The suggested method has been studied and compared with a simple cycle. Efficiency, however, is held constant when the ambient temperature increases from iso conditions to 50C. Computer program has been developed for various gas turbine processes including the effect of ambient temperature. This is achieved by studying the effect of steam injection on the gas turbine performances. Data from the performance testing of an industrial gas turbine, computer model and theoretical study are used to check the validity of the proposed model. The comparison of the prediction results to the test data is in good agreement
