An analysis model for off-design performance of radial inflow turbines with or without variable area guide vane is developed, where two important factors in loss models, total pressure ratio between variable area guide vane exit and scroll casing inlet and rotor loss coefficient are determined without experimental data. The analysis results show that the predicted trends with or without variable area guide vane are consistent with the experimental observations. The comparison of present method with the well-known NASA off-design performance analysis program shows that the mass flow rate and static efficiency by present analysis are in good agreement with those by the NASA program. Therefore, this method can be used to predict off-design performance of radial inflow turbines with validity of the loss models used by present analysis.

기존의 천연가스 가스터빈 시스템을 IGCC 발전소에 적용함에 있어 야기되는 탈설계점효과를 고려할 수 있는 압축기 성능곡선의 예측방법을 제안하였다. 압축기 성능해석방법으로는 익렬요소방법에 전압력손실, 유동편차각 모델들을 결합하여 사용하였으며, 본 방법에 의한 예측결과와 실제 압축기 성능실험결과를 비교하였다. 예측결과가 다양한 압축기 운전조건에 대해 시험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, 이를 통해 본 예측방법이 IGCC 공정설계 및 성능평가시 가스터빈 탈설계점 효과를 분석할 수 있는 기본 모듈로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, the performance modeling of MT30 gas turbine engine is performed. The design point is determined, and the component performance maps to which the scaling technique is applied are generated using standard maps provided by the commercial program. Off-design point performance analysis is performed with the generated performance model, and this is compared with the performance deck data of the engine. It is confirmed that the data of the performance maps generated by the one-point scaling method had some errors from the performance deck data, and it is determined that correction is necessary to increase the accuracy of the performance model. Therefore, the off-design point analysis is performed by creating the correction performance model in a manner that obtains the scaling factors for each operating point(off-design point) according to the high pressure spool speed.

In this study, the GSP and in-house numerical codes have been used for analyses of the on-design, static off-design and dynamic off-design performances. Through the various missions including altitude, velocity, and power variations static engine performance have been investigated. The dynamic engine performances based on these complicated variations have been also analysed. Especially, the power, engine rpm and heat overload characteristics of a turbine have been estimated with the response time through the control of a throttle setting rather than a power setting. It could be applied to the FADEC system as an engine control device.

There is a growing interest in engine diagnostic technology for gas turbine engines. An engine simulation program, precisely simulating the engine performance, is required in order to apply it to the engine diagnosis technology for engine health monitoring. In particular, the simulation program can predict not only design point performance but also off-design point and partial load performance in accurate. So the engine simulation program for the 2-spool separate flow type turbofan engine was developed and the JT9D-7R4G engine of PW(Pratt & Whitney) was analyzed. The steady-sate performance analysis is conducted at both design and off-design points in flight path and the differences between analysis results of takeoff and cruise conditions are compared. The effect of Reynold's correction method was analyzed as a scaling method of the engine component performance. The simulation results was compared with NPSS.

복합화력 발전플랜트의 운전에서 특히 하절기의 첨두부하시에 외기온도의 상승으로 인한 가스터빈의 출력 감소를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 LNG 연료가 보유하고 있는 냉열을 이용하여 압축기로 유입되는 공기 온도를 감소시키는 냉각시스템의 개념을 개발하고자 복합화력 발전플랜트에 대한 설계점 및 외기온도 변화에 대한 탈설계점 모델링 연구를 수행하였다. 대상 프랜트는 940 MW 서인천 복합 발전플랜트 모듈의 단위 블록을 선택하였으며 발전플랜트 전용 해석코드인 GateCycle을 이용하여 가스터빈과 증기사이클의 주요 기기 들에 대한 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 모델의 결과를 대상플랜트의 시운전결과와 비교하여 모델의 적정성을 검증하였다. 출력, 효율, 온도 및 유량 등 주요 설계인자들이 최대 ~1.3%의 상대오차 범위 안에서 만족할 만한 신뢰도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 탈설계점 성능해석은 본 논문과 관련한 연구의 주목적인 LNG 냉열에 의한 유입공기 냉각시스템 설계시의 경계변수인 외기온도 증가에 대한 각 사이클의 특성변화를 대상으로 하였다. 종합적으로 외기온도가 증가하면 압축기로 유입되는 공기의 양과 이에 대응하는 소요 연료량이 동시에 감소하므로 연소에 따른 가스터빈의 팽창비가 감소한다. 이로 인하여 외기온도 증가시에 가스터빈 출력감소율은 0.5%/$^{\circ}C$로서 배기가스를 이용하는 증기사이클의 출력감소율 0.2%/$^{\circ}C$에 비해 민감하므로 가스터빈 유입공기의 냉각시스템의 설계는 복합화력발전 플랜트의 효율 향상에 크게 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

In this work, a steady-state performance modeling and off-design performance analysis of the 2-spool separate-flow turbofan engine named (BR715-56) which is a power plant for the narrow body commercial aircraft is carried out for engine performance behaviors investigation and condition monitoring using a commercial code MATLAB/SIMULINK. Firstly, the engine component maps of fan, high pressure compressor, high pressure turbine and low pressure turbine are generated from similar component maps using the scaling method, and then the off-design performance simulation model is constructed by the mass flow matching and the work matching between components. The model is developed using SIMULINK, which has advantages of easy steady-stare and dynamic modelling and user friendly interface function. It is found that the off-design performance analysis results using the proposed model are well agreed with the performance analysis results by GASTURB at various operating conditions.

A new scaling method for the prediction of gas turbine components characteristics using experimental data of gas turbine test unit has been proposed. In order to minimize the analyzed performance error in the this study, firstly component maps were constructed by real experimental performance data at some operating conditions and a polynomial obtained from scaling factors at given conditions, and then the simulated performance using the identified maps was compared with the performance result using the currently used traditional scaling method. In comparison, the performance analysis result by the currently used traditional scaling method was met well agreed with the real engine performance at most off-design points except for the design point. However the performance analysis result using the newly proposed scaling method had good agreement with the experimental results within maximum 5％ error.

An analysis program to simulate the operation of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system was set up, and system operation with variations in the working conditions of various components (especially the thermal management system) was simulated. The entire system included a PEMFC stack and balance-of-plant components such as an air-supply unit, a fuel-supply unit, and a heat-management unit (cooling system). Thermodynamic models of all components were made to evaluate the design performance of the entire system, and then off-design models were set up to simulate the operation of the entire system under arbitrary working conditions. A parametric study was carried out to examine the effects of varying the operating conditions (especially the ambient conditions and the operating conditions of the cooling system) on the operation and performance of the entire system.
