Abstract

This study aims at analyzing operating performance of a micro gas turbine by detailed measurements of various system parameters. A test facility to measure performance of a micro gas turbine was set up. Performance parameters such as turbine exit temperature, exhaust gas temperature, engine inlet temperature, compressor discharge pressure and temperature, and fuel flow rate were measured. Variations in measured data and estimated performance parameters were analyzed. The net gas turbine performance (power and efficiency based on the gas turbine shaft end) was isolated and analyzed. In addition to overall engine performance, component characteristic parameters including the turbine inlet temperature, the compressor efficiency, the turbine efficiency and the recuperator effectiveness were estimated. Based on the measured data, simulation was performed to obtain those parameters. Behaviors of the estimated characteristic parameters with operating condition change were examined.
