Increase plant power with fogging wet compression: Upgrading gas turbines with wet compression systems increases power output, improves efficiency and reduces emissions

摘要

Wet compression (a.k.a. power fogging, high fogging) can increase gas turbine power output for peak-load demand and generate owner income at times of highest electric power prices, for a relatively small incremental equipment investment. It can increase gas turbine power output by 20 percent and raise efficiency by 2 percent (depending on turbine model and site conditions), says AxEnergy which builds and markets these fogging systems. Fogging also reduces NO{sub}x and CO{sub}2 emissions per unit of power generated.
