Abstract

Introduction of water in a micro Gas Turbine (mGT) has proven to be a very effective method to recover waste heat into the cycle, since it increases the mGT electrical efficiency significantly. Different routes exist for water introduction in the mGT cycle. Classical routes, like injection of steam/preheated water or the micro Humid Air Turbine (mHAT) concept, where water is introduced in the cycle by means of a saturation tower, have shown to have high potential. However none of the previously mentioned cycles exploits the full thermodynamic potential for waste heat recovery through water introduction. More advanced humidified Gas Turbine (GT) cycles have been proposed and studied for large scale GTs. So far, none of these concepts have been applied on mGT scale, despite their high potential.
