本研究係針對兩具2.6KW與150 kW微型渦輪機（Microturbine）發電系統，建立其性能測試與分析之能量，並針對兩者之性能表現進行比較，俾提供國人未來自行開發微型渦輪引擎及其控制系統之參數設計依據。
實驗設備架設方面，將各類量測元件，如紅外線熱顯像儀、紅外線溫度計、熱電偶、壓力傳感器、流量計、噪音計與轉速計等安裝於適當之位置，並利用PC數據擷取系統將各量測元件測得之燃燒室出口溫度、排氣溫度、壓縮器出口壓力、燃油流量、壓縮器轉速、輸出軸轉速、空氣流量、熱回收系統表面溫度等訊號予以同步擷取記錄。
性能測試方面，本研究包括針對150 kW微型渦輪機發電系統，建立其熱回收系統之熱力性能測試與熱回收效率分析之能量，使用紅外線溫度計與紅外線熱顯像儀量測熱回收系統外罩之溫度分佈。此外，使用3.0kW負載箱代替實際供電負載輸出，量測並記錄微型渦輪機發電系統從零負載、部分負載至全負載，在各狀態下其引擎各性能參數之變化，建立引擎性能基線（Baseline），包括轉速、溫度、壓力、燃油消耗、發電量等。
數值模擬方面，進一步以數值分析軟體GasTurb，來探討引擎在設計點與非設計點之性能曲線，與實驗數據作一分析比較。分析模型之建立將可助於未來Microturbine之開發設計及性能分析預測工作。
最後，將兩系統所得數據如熱效率、熱回收效率及經濟效益等進行比對，提出優缺點，俾提供國人未來自行研發之參考方向。

An investigation was conducted to perform study of a 150 kW and a 2.6kW microturbine generator set with heat recover system including testing and analyses. As a result of that, we can establish the basis for future microturbine generator engine performance, thermal efficiency, and heat recover system design guidelines.
This study will investigate the thermal performance and effectiveness of a 150 kW microturbine regenerator system. Using an infrared thermometer and an infrared camera, we were able to measure the temperature distributions of the shell of a regenerator system. The engine speed, recuperator inlet temperature, exhaust temperature, compressor inlet pressure, and fuel flow rate were measured using the PC-based data acquisition system. The generator set was tested with load bank to establish the baseline performance.
A software program (GasTurb) was used to predict the performance of the microturbine generator set at different operating conditions in order to compare with the test results. With the above testing and analysis, we were able to find out the performance of the 2.6 kW gas turbine engine including thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, horsepower, and the performance of the recuperator.
Finally, the performance, thermal efficiency, and economic benefits were compared to provide future reference and guidance for the industry.
