Abstract: A step change in efficiency of gas turbine technology and, subsequently, an emissions reduction from this technology requires conceptual changes. Substituting conventional combustion chambers with pressure gain combustion ...

Abstract: The simultaneous expansion of variable renewables and combined heat and power (CHP) plants in Europe has given rise to a discussion about their compatibility. Due to the concurrence of high wind power generation and high ...

Abstract: The performance of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) is highly dependent on the efficiency of its main components, which need to be optimally matched especially in closed cycles. The design process is therefore a challenging ...

Abstract: The paper describes a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of the gas turbine combined cycle (CC) equipped with pressure gain combustion (PGC) based on the Humphrey cycle. PGC is represented by a steady-state zero-dimensional ...

Abstract: Any outlet restriction downstream of pressure gain combustion (PGC), such as turbine blades, affects its flow field and may cause additional thermodynamic losses. The unsteadiness in the form of pressure, temperature, and ...

Abstract: Performance improvements of conventional gas turbines are becoming increasingly difficult and costly to achieve. Pressure gain combustion (PGC) has emerged as a promising technology in this respect, due to the higher thermal ...

Abstract: Constant volume combustion (CVC) cycles for gas turbines are considered a very promising alternative to the conventional Joule cycle and its variations. The reason is the considerably higher thermal efficiency of these ...

Abstract: High-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) are becoming increasingly relevant in the industry as they represent a promising solution for decarbonizing industrial heat. These technologies can enable the electrification of industrial ...
