An inlet air cooling (IAC) system offers one of the most cost-effective ways to improve gas turbine (GT) performance—especially during the peak hours of hot summer months. After all, GT output depends ...
As the ambient temperature increases, a gas turbine’s output decreases. Since spot market prices for power invariably increase in the summer, the reduced gas turbine output at high temperatures can ...
MeeFog’s very first installation of inlet air fogging was done at Harbor Cogen in Southern California in 1991 on a GE 7EA turbine where it continues to be used for power augmentation to this day ...
During the 1990’s, some power plants experimented with fog-based power augmentation by overspraying fog into the compressor – known as wet compression. The results were impressive. They reported a ...
