Gas Turbine Data Library

In this project gas turbine data shall be predicted on the basic of the underlying thermodynamic turbomachinery laws in order to enable the planner of combined cycle stations or cogeneration plants an optimisation for his given conditions. Especially in thermal plants for industry, where heat demand is on several temperature levels and where also additional heat release from plants has to be investigated this program system in the form of a software package can very much facilitate the layout process. The influence of geographical conditions as the sea level, ambient temperature and air pressure as well as pressure losses from inlet filter and succeeding heat recovery steam generators and other heat exchangers can be carefully accessed and their influence on the total behaviour of the cycle investigated. An important roll is the method of part load governing especially on the compressor and the influence on part load efficiency and part load emissions.
