Suggestions for inceasing efficiency of gas turbine

 Water injection. Water injected into the compressor stages


vaporizes, reducing temperatur and increase air
mass. Since water vapor has greater thermal capacity than
air, temperature at the turbine inlet can be reduced,
or more power generated for the same temperature.

 Cooling the inlet air in the hard climat and inejecting


steam to the compressed air may offer solutions to
improve the gas engine performance.(

1. Water injection. Water injected into the combustion chamber decreases temperature
and pressure, and increases mass flow pas the turbine.

1. Regeneration. Waste exhaust heat is used to preheat compressor output. This does
not increase power but does increase efficiency. The more efficient the turbine the
less of an effect this has.

1. Cheng Cycle. HRSG creates steam from waste exhaust heat, and then injects that
steam into the combustors, reducing combustion temperature and increasing energy
flow through the turbine.
