  1. 6. Survival analysis of gas turbine components

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik

    Author : Alessandro Olivi; [2016]
    Keywords : Bayesian Weibull regression; failure modes; optimal replacement time; reliability; survival analysis;

    Abstract : Survival analysis is applied on mechanical components installed in gas turbines. We use field experience data collected from repair inspection reports. These data are highly censored since the exact time-to-event is unknown. We only know that it lies before or after the repair inspection time. READ MORE

  3. 7. Volumetric Solar Receiver for a Parabolic Dish and Micro-Gas Turbine system : Design, modelling and validation using Multi-Objective Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Roberta Mancini; [2015]
    Keywords : volumetric receiver; parabolic dish; OMSoP; micro-gas turbine; multi-objective optimization; ray tracing;

    Abstract : Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) constitutes one suitable solution for exploiting solar resources for power generation. In this context, parabolic dish systems concentrate the solar radiation onto a point focusing receiver for small-scale power production. READ MORE

  4. 8. Comprehensive Analysis of Organic Rankine Cycles for Waste heat recovery applications in Gas Turbines and IC Engines

    University essay from KTH/Elkraftteknik

    Author : Alejandro Tristan; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Executive Summary This investigation aimed to assess the true technical and environmental potential, plus economic feasibility of the ORC technology as bottoming cycles for Gas turbines and IC Engines power applications. The assessment started by creating a modeling tool using the software EES in order to model several bottoming cycle configurations and match them with the mentioned power generation technologies.

  6. 10. Flexible Ignition System for a Gas Turbine

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Anton Berg; [2012]
    Keywords : Gas turbine; ignition; methane; propane; CO2; N2; ignition energy; ignition delay time;

    Abstract : Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB produce five gas turbines models. The SGT-700 can currently only start on gases which contain low amounts of inert gases. It is therefore of interest to widen the fuel range which the SGT-700, as well as other gas turbines, can start on. READ MORE
