    The researchers determined the following objectives of a 500 MW open cycle gas turbine power plant: 1) 977.16 Kg/s quality of air circulation, 2) 831.76 MW power output, 3) 0.399 fraction of turbine required to drive compressor, and 4) 53% thermal efficiency of the cycle. The researchers concluded that the assumption of less than 50% thermal efficiency is not true, as their analysis showed 53% efficiency. Their recommendations were to research solutions to the disadvantages of open cycle plants, such as decreased part-load efficiency, sensitivity to component and atmospheric conditions, and need to prevent dust from reducing compressor and turbine efficiency.

    Chapter 5

    Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations

    Summary
    The Design, Installation and Operation of 500 MW Open Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant have
    determined the following objectives:
    1)
    2)
    3)
    4)

    977.16 Kg/s quality of air circulation for 500 MW Open Cycle Gas Turbine power plant
    831.76 MW power output of the turbine
    0.399 Fraction of the turbine required to drive the compressor
    53% thermal efficiency of the cycle

    Conclusion
    The researchers concluded that the assumption of less than 50% thermal efficiency of the
    cycle is not true because according to the researchers data analysis, the thermal efficiency of the
    cycle is 53% which is more than 50%.

    Recommendations

    Having undertaken this study; presented, analyzed and interpreted the findings, the researchers
    propose the following recommendations:
    1. That there should be a research for the solution of all this disadvantages that a open cycle
    gas turbine power plant has:
    The part load efficiency of the open cycle plant decreases rapidly as the
    considerable percentage of power developed by the turbine is used to drive

    the compressor.
    The system is sensitive to the component efficiency; particularly that of
    compressor. The open
    cycle plant is sensitive to changes in the atmospheric air temperature,

    pressure and humidity.


    The open-cycle gas turbine plant has high air rate compared to the other
    cycles, therefore, it
    results in increased loss of heat in the exhaust gases and large diameter

    ductwork is necessary.
    It is essential that the dust should be prevented from entering into the
    compressor in order to
    minimise erosion and depositions on the blades and passages of the
    compressor and turbine and so
    impairing their profile and efficiency. The deposition of the carbon and ash
    on the turbine blades is not
    at all desirable as it also reduces the efficiency of the turbine.
