| Abstract | ||||
| The present study is applied on the gas turbines power plant that is currently under operation in northern kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) since 1998. The plant consists of 7 gas turbine of 25MW each without inlet air cooling. More 2 gas turbine of 82MW each with inlet air cooling were added inDec 2007.In this area, during summer season, the ambient temperature may reach 50 °C, or higher in July and August. The objective is to present field results of this gas turbines power plant operation in order to measure and evaluate the performance. The results showed that, operating the plant at higher loads near to 100% is recommended for economic considerations, heat /power recovery by cooling the inlet air is advised, to overcome the problem of electricity black-out. Finally the results showed that disagreement between design and measured performance values is mainly due to higher ambient temperatures. | ||||
