Diesel, Gas Turbine, and Combied Cycle Power Plant

Diesel power uses a diesel engine to generate electricity by moving an alternator with the engine. A gas turbine generates power by using combustion to accelerate turbine blades connected to a generator. A combined-cycle power plant improves efficiency by combining the gas turbine and steam turbine cycles, capturing additional energy from the gas turbine exhaust to power the steam turbine.

Diesel power uses a diesel engine to move alternators, move the blades, and make

electricity. The diesel engine serves as the primary mover, referred to as a diesel power
plant.

A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a turbomachine and is generally


identical to a steam turbine regarding its working principle. It's a type of internal
combustion engine that runs continuously.

A combined-cycle power plant is a set of heat engines that transform heat into
mechanical energy. The most widely used form is a combined cycle gas turbine. A similar
concept is employed in marine propulsion, called combined gas and steam plant. It
minimizes fuel consumption by combining two or more thermodynamic cycles.

History of Diesel, Gas Turbine, & Combined Cycle Power Plant

The windmill was the first turbine to produce helpful work, where compression and no
combustion existed.

Diesel

 Rudolf Diesel is most recognized for inventing the diesel engine. His idea occurred in
the late 1800s when the steam engine dominated large industries.

Gas Turbine

 Gas turbine was invented in 1930 by Frank Whittle and then patented in 1934.
 It was first used for aircraft propulsion in 1942 on Messerschmitt Me262 or
Sturmvogel by Germans during WW2.
 And it is most currently used on aircraft and ships using the gas turbine.
Combined Cycle Power Plant

 The first recognized combined cycle plant was installed by an Austrian utility NEWAG
at their Korneuburg A plant in Austria in 1961.

Types/Classifications

Type of Gas Turbine Power Plant

 Open Cycle
 Close Cycle

Type of Diesel Engine

 Two-stroke
 Four-stroke
Theoretical Background

The diesel engine uses the Diesel cycle, one of automobile engines' most common
thermodynamic cycles.

o Instead of using spark ignition, the diesel engine uses compression ignition.
o Higher compression ratios can be achieved.
o At the start of the compression stroke, there is no fuel in the cylinder.

The gas turbine converts fuels like natural gas to mechanical energy using the Brayton
Cycle.

 When the gas is compressed in a natural gas turbine, mechanical energy is


irreversibly converted into pressure and thermal energy.  The combustion chamber is
then added heat, and the gas's specific volume increases while its pressure
decreases. Irreversible energy transformation happens in the turbine's stator and
rotor passages. Heat is then rejected and replaced by fresh air.
 The air-fuel mixture is scorched at high pressures and temperatures above 2000
Fahrenheit.
 The gas then accelerates the turbine blades into a high spin. In other words, it
creates work making the drive shaft spin fast.

The combined cycle power plant uses two power cycles: the Joule or Brayton cycle and
the Rankine cycle.

 Combined gas and diesel power plant can:


o Improve efficiency
o It giveses a high ratio of power output to occupied ground space
o Requires less water cooling
Working Principle

 Diesel engine
 Air intake system
 Exhaust system
 Cooling water system
 Fuel supply system
 Lubrication system
 Diesel engine starting system

 Airplanes, trains, ships, electrical generators, pumps, gas compressors, and tanks
are powered by gas turbines.
