Abstract: The utilisation of low-calorific syngas fuels in conventional gas turbines and gas and steam combined cycle equipments has been studied by the authors over the last years. In the present work, the effects of using different fuels of the referred type on the performance of a gas and steam combined cycle performance are assessed. The main bottle-necks found when trying to exploit the potential of the syngas fuels considered are also identified and some general rules with regard to the necessary modifications that need to be implemented in standard plants are provided.
