Abstract:
Economic growth, industrialization and global population are increasing every day leading to high-energy demand. There is a demand for low cost, reliable, efficient power plants with reduced emissions. Coal is a leading source of energy accounting for 41.5% of the world electricity and 26.5% of global primary needs. 400 million tonnes of coal ranging from lignite to sub-bituminous and calorific value between 16 and 27 MJ/kg were discovered in Mui Basin Kitui county Kenya. Coal plants are now of interest in Kenya hence there is a need of efficient and clean energy. This paper is on simulation results of optimization of gas turbine system for power generation using syngas from Mui Basin coal. The rotation speed of gas turbine rotor was varied and the results compared against expected performance reported to show the effects on gas turbine efficiency.
