Abstract

A preliminary design was completed of an advanced cogeneration and combined-cycle system for industrial plants. The system incorporates a gas-turbine engine and novel steam generator and back-pressure steam turbine. Substantially improved economic returns are provided by a combination of reduced initial cost, increased efficiency of fuel utilization, and flexibility to follow the varying electrical and thermal demands of industry. Subsequent phases of the program will include detail design, fabrication, and test of the system which can produce 13.4 MW of electrical power and 109,000 pounds per hour of steam for the thermal process.
