Economic analysis of a micro humid air turbine and an internal combustion engine based on hourly demand Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Micro Gas Turbines (mGTs) offer valuable advantages for small-scale Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production compared to internal combustion engines (ICEs): lower maintenance costs, cleaner exhaust, concentration of the residual heat in a single source (the exhaust gases), etc. Nevertheless, mGTs have lower electrical efficiencies, fact that has prevented them from penetrating in the CHP market. Hot liquid water injection—by means of a ...
