Exergy and Energy Analyses of 70 Mw Gas Turbine Power Plant Using Fuzzy Logic Control

Due to the recent in fuel prices and the increase in energy demand, it is essential to reduce fuel consumption at power stations. To reach this objective, a comprehensive analysis of the energy and oxygen supply of power plants is required. The current research aims to analyze the performance of the 70 MW gas turbine power plant consisting of a turbine, an axial compressor, and an annular combustion chamber using fuzzy techniques. The results demonstrated that the effectiveness of the first and second laws is directly proportional to the load-compression ratio and ambient temperature. Efficiency gains from the first and second acts were 33% and 31%, respectively. In addition, this research shows the effect of three concurrent variables using the fuzzy technique.
