Abstract
The objects of study are
the gas turbine (GT) plant and combined cycle power plant (CCPP) with
opportunity for injection between the stages of air compressor. The objective
of this paper is technical and economy optimization calculations for these
classes of plants with water interstage injection. The integrated development
environment “System of machine building program” was a tool for creating the
mathematic models for these classes of power plants. Optimization calculations
with the criterion of minimum for specific capital investment as a function of
the unit efficiency have been carried out. For a gas-turbine plant, the
economic gain from water injection exists for entire range of power efficiency.
For the combined cycle plant, the economic benefit was observed only for a certain
range of plant’s power efficiency.
