4. Towards Flexible Cogeneration: Techno-economic Optimization of Advanced Combined Cycle Combined Heat and Power Plants integrated with Heat Pumps and Thermal Energy Storage
University essay from KTH/EnergiteknikAbstract : The liberalization of electricity markets and a growing penetration of renewables is changing operation of electrical grids. The boundary conditions for the operation of conventional power plants are changing and, as such, an improved understanding of the varying loads and prices on the electricity grid is required to assess the performance of emerging combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) concepts and to further optimize their design for these new markets in the pursuit of increasing their profitability, especially when considering combined heat and power (CHP).

5. CFD INVESTIGATION OF THE PURGE AIR INFLUENCE ON THE FLOW STRUCTURE AND BEHAVIOUR OF GAS TURBINE STAGE AND ROTOR-STATOR DISC CAVITY SYSTEM
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Gas turbines operate with medium of very high temperatures, which requires using advanced materials for vanes and blades and sophisticated methods of their cooling. Other parts of the turbine have to be protected from contact with hot gases. Discs that hold vanes and blades are especially exposed to this danger. READ MORE
