Inlet Guide Vanes - Gas Turbine Air Flow Control
BACKGROUND: Whether a combustion turbine is installed as a simple cycle peaking unit, or in a combined cycle plant with a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), it is an integral part of the power generation portfolio for many generation companies. Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) are responsible for delivering air to the inlet of the gas turbine’s axial compressor , maintaining proper fuel air ratio through various load ranges, and minimizing the p
