Models for Training on a Gas Turbine Power Plant 215 Authors (Reference) Framework (Application) General Approach and Commentary Banetta et al., 2001 Dynamic mathematical model of a generic cogeneration plant to evaluate the influence of small gas turbines in an interconnected electric network. Ideal gas (IG) and perfect combustion (PX).
This paper explains a performance simulation program for power generation gas turbines and its application to an IGCC gas turbine. The program has a modular structure and both the stage-level and entire component-level models were adopted. Stage-by-stage calculations were used in the compressor and the turbine. In particular, the compressor module is based on a stage-stacking method and is capable of simulating the effect of variable stator vanes. The combustor model has the capability of dealing with various fuels including syngas. The turbine module is capable of estimating blade cooling performance.

The program can be easily extended to other applied cycles such as recuperated and reheated cycles because the program structure is fully modular. The program was verified for simple cycle commercial engines. In addition, the program was applied to the gas turbine in an IGCC plant. Influences of major system integration parameters on the operating conditions of the compressor and turbine as well as on engine performance were analyzed.
