Abstract

In this study, a new hybrid solar preheating intercooled gas turbine (SP-IcGT), is presented, in which a parabolic trough solar technology is used to preheat the compressed air before entering the combustor. The performance of the new hybrid gas turbine was evaluated and compared with the conventional hybrid solar preheating gas turbine (SP-GT). Several performance indicators were used in the analysis under Guangzhou (China) weather data. It is observed that the SP-IcGT is superior to the SP-GT system as it can boost the fuel-based efficiency by 19.35% versus 0.26% for the SP-GT system. In addition, the SP-IcGT has a much lower specific fuel consumption (about 7017 kJ/kWh) compared with the 10362 kJ/kWh for SP-GT. The highest fuel-based efficiency of 51.4% is obtained for the SP-IcGT with 47.4% improvement over the SP-GT, which exhibits a levelized electricity cost of 4.58 US/kWh. Meanwhile, fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced greatly by integrating solar energy with the intercooled gas turbine. The SP-IcGT is more economical than applying carbon capture to the equivalent conventional gas turbine plant combined while achieving the same reduction of CO2 emissions. Overall, the SP-IcGT is an attractive system under different climates.
