“…Essentially, their approach consists of synthesizing the thermodynamic relationships that described each engine component. Dynamic equations describing the transient behaviour of the High-Temperature Gas Reactor coupled to a gas turbine (GT-HTGR) have been documented in references [13][14][15], and Dupont et al [16], described a computer code called TugSim-10 developed for transient simulation of nuclear power plants. The review by Olumayegun [9] covered various aspects of simulations for closed-cycle gas turbines.…”

This paper presents the modeling approach of a multipurpose simulation tool called gas turbine Arekret-cycle simulation (GT-ACYSS); which can be utilized for the simulation of steady-state and pseudo transient performance of closed-cycle gas turbine plants. The tool analyzes the design point performance as a function of component design and performance map characteristics predicted based on multifluid map scaling technique. The off-design point is analyzed as a function of design point performance, plant control settings, and a wide array of other off-design conditions. GT-ACYSS can be a useful educational tool since it allows the student to monitor gas path properties throughout the cycle without laborious calculations. It allows the user to have flexibility in the selection of four different working fluids, and the ability to simulate various single-shaft closed-cycle configurations, as well as the ability to carry out preliminary component sizing of the plant. The modeling approach described in this paper has been verified with case studies and the trends shown appeared to be reasonable when compared with reference data in the open literature, hence, can be utilized to perform independent analyses of any referenced single-shaft closed-cycle gas turbine plants. The results of case studies presented herein demonstrated that the multifluid scaling method of components and the algorithm of the steady-state analysis were in good agreement for predicting cycle performance parameters (such as efficiency and output power) with mean deviations from referenced plant data ranging between 0.1% and 1% over wide array of operations.

“…They used Simulink as platform and they claim that the model may be utilised to represent plants with very different characteristics and sizes, although the ideal gas assumption was used, the combustor behaves ideally and no thermodynamic properties are employed. Kikstra & Verkooijen (2002) present a model based on physical principles (very detailed) for a gas turbine of only one component (helium). The model was developed to design a control system.…”
