Abstract

In this study, the gas turbine cycle of Ovaakca power plant that is located in Bursa, Turkey was analysed. The aim of the study is to determine the use of an ice thermal energy storage system for the 239 MW-powered gas turbine cycle. The performance of the system was investigated for full-load conditions. Energy and exergy analysis were performed by using last decade’s meteorological weather data. The results showed that utilizing an ice thermal energy storage system can boost the net power up to 12.60%.
