Closed Cycle Gas Turbine Systems in Europe,

Abstract

A review on the status of closed cycle turbine research and development in Europe is given. Closed cycle turbines utilizing air as a working fluid, either coal, gas or oil fired have been used in the past for electricity generation and as additional sources for district heating. The newer developments employ helium as a working fluid. The gas is heated by a large sophisticated gas heater at present. However, the final intention is to use turbines in connection with the high temperature gas cooled nuclear reactors. Marine applications for gas turbines exist and are discussed in the report.
