Stationary Gas Turbines – Design Methods and Development Trends

Dr.-Ing. habil. Alexander Wiedermann

Christian Landfester, M. Sc.

Besides application of gas turbines in propulsion (i.e.aero engines) stationary gas turbine plants have reached high power density due to high development level of all contributing disciplines, material and cooling technologies. Because of their high fuel performance ratio in combined heat and electricity generation they contribute to rapid decrease of climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions, and, therefore, support the globally postulated decarbonization goals. New development trends focus on replacement of natural gas by hydrogen and other alternative “green” fuels, to guarantee grid stability and sustainable supply of heat and electricity if wind does not blow and sun does not shine in dark seasons. This lecture offers an overview on layout, development and design tools commonly in practice and gives an out view to newest development trends and fields of application in a future environment dominated by renewables.
