The GSP components which in a particular arrangement represent a gas turbine model, simulate component performance using algorithms calculating changes in gas properties, mass flows, turbomachinery shaft power, control system logic etc. The components internals describe the mathematical description of the gas turbine cycle/arrangement. This mathematical description includes the definition of states and error equations to build the complete set of non-linear differential equations. The set of equations can be directly changed by the component model options.
The following main component model categories can be identified:
The following items represent sub-components within the component models, necessary to enable the transmission of power through drive shafts and compressor bleed flow to other components (such as turbines for blade cooling):
Due to the advanced software development principles applied in GSP 12, new or specific application dedicated components can be derived from existing ones very rapidly.
