Optimization of the cycle of a small-sized gas turbine plant using the СAE-system «ASTRA»

In this work, the optimization of the cycle of a small-sized gas turbine unit was carried out, its thermodynamic parameters were determined using the СAE-system «ASTRA». Computer models of power plants operating on the regenerative Brayton cycle, on the Brayton cycle with intermediate cooling and regeneration, on the Brayton cycle with intermediate heating and regeneration, and on the Brayton cycle with intermediate cooling, intermediate heating and regeneration were built, and their thermodynamic parameters were assessed. Regularities in the influence of design parameters of power plants on their efficiency were established.
