A Comprehensive Review on Thermodynamic Analysis Waste Heat Utilization by Gas Turbine Based Power Cycles

In this paper a comprehensive review has been reported in the field of gas turbine based cycle with their various integration system and analysis. Gas turbines have been used in wide ranging applications since their world’s first use in aviation and power generation in the jet engine powered flight and power generation plant since 1939. The high temperature exhaust gas from gas turbine can be utilized in other cycles i.e. Rankine, Brayton for additional power generation or for heating and cooling purpose (cogeneration/trigeneration). The analysis shows that the resulting maximum efficiency of this GT-combined system can be up to 90% depending upon the operating condition and configuration used. In addition, a comparative performance evaluation of various cycles is presented clearly showing ranges within which a particular arrangement can be beneficial in power generation sector.
