Abstract
Simulation results show that applying EGR to a mGT or mHAT can reduce the exhaust gas mass flow rate by 50% and it can increase the concentration of CO2 by three times the traditional cycle. The humidification of the mGT can entirely compensate for the efficiency losses of the EGR application. Both cycle performances are strongly affected by the thermal input from the stripping process, decreasing the global electric efficiency by around 7.9 absolute percentage points in the mGT case and by 8.3 absolute percentage points in the mHAT case in full load conditions. The results of this paper can be used as a starting point for new cycle concepts between the mGT and CC plant.
