Abstract

Over the years, Gas Turbine Power Plant (GTPP) has been the major source of electricity in Nigeria. GTPP contributes about 87.5% of the total 12,500MW installed capacity of power plants in Nigeria. However, shortage of natural gas has been the major challenge militating against its optimal performance. A survey carried out revealed that, Olorunsogo GTPP has a total installed capacity of 335MW. The plant has eight units of gas turbine with 41.875MW each. The temperature dissipated by the system through the exhaust of each unit is 5000C. This paper, present a model which could be used to generate a significant amount of electric power by harnessing the huge amount of temperature dissipated by the turbine through the exhaust and converts it to electric power. This will tremendously improve the electricity generation in Nigeria, and also curb the global warming associated with the excessive heat dissipated to the atmosphere by the Gas Turbine Power Plants.
