Introducing an optimum gas turbine inlet temperature (TIT) based on a 4E analysis: a case study of northeastern Iran

Determining the maximum temperature of gas turbine is one of the challenges in energy conversion to achieve the suitable performance of gas turbine systems. For this purpose, based on the energy, exergy, environmental, and economic (4E) analyses, the effects of changing turbine inlet temperature (TIT) on a gas turbine power plant in northeastern Iran were studied. The results showed that increasing TIT enhanced net power and efficiency, so that...
