Performance Degradation of a 43 MW Class Gas Turbine Engine in Kuwait Climate

In this study, the performance estimations of a land-based gas turbine engine were done considering hot climate regions and therefore deviations from standard day 15°C conditions. In hot climate countries like Kuwait, ambient air temperature often reaches and exceeds 50oC, which makes dramatic performance reductions for the gas turbine engines. The gas turbine performance output parameters were calculated in a range of ambient air temperature (15°C-55°C). Results show that for a 43 MW class gas turbine engine at 55°C ambient condition, the shaft power output decreases 21.3% and power specific fuel consumption (PSFC) increases 9.31%. Thermal efficiency also decreases from 41.90% standard day value to 38.34%.
