Recently, gas turbine generators are widely used for frequency control of power systems. Although the inlet temperature of a gas turbine is a key factor related to the performance and lifespan of the device, the inlet temperature is not measured directly for reasons such as the turbine structure and operating environment. In particular, the inlet temperature of the reheating gas turbine is very important for stable operation management, but field workers are experiencing a lot of difficulties because the manufacturer does not provide information on the calculation formula. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method for estimating the inlet temperature of a gas turbine using a machine learning-based linear regression analysis method based on a polytropic process equation. In addition, by proposing an inlet temperature calculation algorithm through the usefulness analysis and verification of the inlet temperature calculation model obtained through linear regression analysis, it is intended to help to improve the level of reheat gas turbine combustion tuning technology.

Gas turbines, which are used as generators for frequency regulation of the domestic power system, are increasing in use due to the carbon-neutral policy, quick startup and shutdown, and high thermal efficiency. Since the gas turbine rotates the turbine using high-temperature flame, the turbine inlet temperature is acting as a key factor determining the performance and lifespan of the device. However, since the inlet temperature cannot be directly measured, the temperature calculated by the manufacturer is used or the temperature predicted based on field experience is applied, which makes it difficult to operate and maintain the gas turbine in a stable manner. In this study, we present a model that can predict the inlet temperature of a reheat gas turbine based on Deep Neural Network (DNN), which is widely used in artificial neural networks, and verify the performance of the proposed DNN based on actual data.

가스터빈 엔진의 효율 및 성능은 터빈입구온도에 크게 좌우되므로, 높은 열효율을 얻기 위하여 최근 가스터빈 엔진은 높은 입구온도(대략 1400-150$0^{\circ}C$)에서 작동되도록 설계되고 있다. 이는 요소재질의 열한계점을 훨씬 상회하며, 이와 같은 입구온도의 고온화 경향은 터빈요소에 대한 열부하를 증가시키고 있다. 따라서 극한의 작동조건하에서의 허용수명 및 안정성의 유지를 위해서 내부대류냉각, 충돌세트냉각과 더불어 막냉각기법이 많이 응용되고 있다. 막냉각기법은 연소기 벽면 혹은 터빈블레이드 표면의 작은 구멍들을 통해서 압축기의 공기를 분사하여 표면에 고온의 유체와 일종의 단열벽을 형성하여 표면을 보호하는 냉각방법이다. 지금까지는 주로 단면적이 일정한 막냉각홀에 대한 연구가 주가 되어왔으나, 이러한 막냉각홀을 이용하는 경우 많은 문제점이 발생한다.

A prestudy on expendable turbine engine for high-speed vehicle was conducted. After two possible mission profiles were established to decide the engine requirements, design point analysis was performed with the values of design parameter which were obtained from similar class engines, references, etc. The results showed that specific net thrust and specific fuel consumption with turbine inlet temperature of 3,600 R are 2,599.4 ft/s and 1.483 lb/(lb*h) respectively at the flight condition of sea level, Mach 1.2. It was also found that major design parameters for determining maximum net thrust were turbine inlet temperature for low supersonic and transonic flight speed and compressor exit temperature for high supersonic flight speed from the results of performance analysis on the two possible mission profiles. In addition, simple turbojet engine with an axial compressor, a straight annular combustor, an one stage axial turbine and a fixed throat area converge-diverge exhaust nozzle was proposed as the configuration of simple low cost lightweight turbine engine.

Thermal and nuclear power plants on shore commonly use the sea water for cooling facility. Discharged cooling water has the high kinematic energy potential due to amount of water flux. Numerical analysis was made to find the suitable combinations between the arrangement of tidal turbines and the overall dimensions of the discharged channel. Several parameters such as the turbine diameter to inlet size, and the axial distance to turbine size were investigated. Power coefficients for various test conditions were also compared to see the effect of inlet configurations such as single inlet and dual inlet. For the single inlet, the mean power coefficient appeared to be gradually decreased with increasing distance, and the maximum power was obtained when the turbine diameter was same as the inlet diameter. For the dual inlet, the tendency was similar so that the better result when the turbine diameter was same as the inlet diameter. It is expected that the present methodology can be extensively utilized to harness the high kinetic energy flow of the discharge channel of power plant.

As the partial admission turbine has a intrinsically unsteady and three dimensional flow region, numerical calculation time of these study has been too long time. The numerical analysis for gas temperature of turbine blade surface has been performed to investigate development of temperature with various pyro start pressure. Computations have been carried out several turbine rotational speeds in the range from 0 to 16000 rpm and inlet conditions with 1423K, 7.2MPa. As a result, the more rotational speed and pyro starter pressure of turbine increased, the more turbine blade's temperature decreased. It is also found that flow field of turbine blade inlet area at pyro starter pressure of 5.75MPa and rotational speed of 12100 rpm formed surface temperature uniformly.
