Reducing carbon emissions is an urgent need in the field of marine power. Gas turbines are of great importance in the marine industry. The use of clean or industrial-associated fuels can increase the fuel adaptability of designed, manufactured, or in-service gas turbines to realize the goal of expanding fuel sources, reducing fuel waste, lowering energy demand, and remitting environmental pressure. By changing from fossil fuel to alternative energy, the change in the physical properties of the combustion products will lead to changes in the working medium of the turbines, which result in a profound effect on the performance. In this study, based on the actual law of working medium property change, the evolution mechanism of turbine characteristics is lucubrated in depth, focusing on the key parameters of the influence of working medium properties on turbine characteristics under alternative fuel conditions, and a correction method is proposed to predict the evolution law of the turbine characteristics as working medium varies.
