Performance and economics of combustion turbine inlet air cooling using chilled water storage.

Author(s) : ANDREPONT J. S.

Summary

An analysis of combustion turbine inlet air cooling is presented for a specific electric utility application using existing combustion turbines. Key design parameters are quantitatively analyzed, including storage medium, daily cycles versus weekly cycles, new storage tanks versus converted fuel oil tanks, the cooled temperature of the inlet air, and the hours of combustion turbine cooling per day. Capital cost estimates are based on a comprehensive design-build project procurement inclusive of design, equipment and material, installation, project management, training, start-up, and commissioning. Technical and economical results are given.
