The impact of TES on the economics of combustion turbine inlet air cooling.

Author(s) : BROWN D. R., KATIPAMULA S., KONYNENBELT J. H.

Summary

The utilization of TES (thermal energy storage) is often key to the cost-effective application of combustion turbine inlet air cooling (CTAC). A recent study completed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory evaluated the economics of several alternative CTAC systems applied to different types of power plants and various operating conditions. The principal parameters investigated were chiller type, storage type, inlet air temperature, combustion turbine application, power plant operating schedule, and climate.
