The challenge
An MTT gas turbine needed commissioning, reliable instrumentation and a simulation model that could be compared with measured operation.
Contribution
The work combined integration with gas and water systems, instrumentation selection, extensions to measurement software and development of an IPSEpro model.
Approach
Temperature, flow, pressure and energy measurements were collected through a LabVIEW-compatible logging system. The model represented the heat exchanger, compressor and combustion chamber, and its predictions were compared with test data.
Results
The project established an instrumented test system and a model validated against operating measurements. Comparing the two exposed differences between predicted and actual performance and supported further optimization.
