Abstract

The aim of this paper is to make a short presentation of the improvement and optimization of the Gas Turbine in the design phase and also show the results achieved during the commissioning and the performance test in the Vlore PP. All the time this gas turbine operated on distillate fuel oil and this made it a prototype and its operating experience unique. The AE64.3A+ burner is based on the hybrid (diffusion/premix) burner design principle that enables it to perform low NOx and CO emission and stable and reliable combustion of fuel gas and fuel oil. The AE64.3A+ gas turbine is installed in the CCPP of Vlore and after the commissioning tests, carried out in the June 2010, continued to operate with a high performance due to the optimization made during the design phase.
