This study focuses on the energy-exergy performance evaluation of a 5.67MW rated gas turbine power plant located at Total Exploration and Production Port Harcourt Office complex in Nigeria. Design data were collected from the installation document and temperature readings from the control room. A MATLAB program was written that utilized the data collected and various thermodynamic equations to output various performance parameters. The simulation of ambient air temperature on the performance of the gas turbine power plant was investigated. The results show that that there was an increase of 46.1176kW in the work done by the compressor for every 1o rise in the ambient air temperature, an increase of 33.3888kW in the net power generated per 1o rise in the ambient air temperature, an increase of 28.71089kJ/kW in the heat rate per every 1o rise in ambient air temperature and a decrease of 0.06287% in the thermal efficiency of the plant for every 1o rise in ambient air temperature. The exergy assessment showed that the combustion chamber was the most exergy inefficient component of the gas turbine as it had an exergy efficiency of just 59.168% with an average exergy destruction of 9368.507kW, the turbine section had an exergy efficiency of 72.997% with an average exergy destruction of 3661.844kW and the compressor section of the power plant is the most exergy efficient component as it has an exergy efficiency of 83.409% with an average exergy destruction of 676.107kW. This study showed the shortcomings of the gas turbine power plant and offered recommendations to improve efficiency. |
