| description | Gas turbines are widely used in power generation due to their efficiency, flexibility, and low environmental impact. Modeling, especially in thermodynamics, is crucial for the designer and operator of a gas turbine. An advanced and rigorous thermodynamic model is essential to accurately predict the performance of a gas turbine under on-design operating conditions, off-design or failure. Such models not only improve understanding of internal processes but also optimize performance and reliability in a wide variety of operational scenarios. This article presents the development of a thermodynamic model simulating the off-design performance of a gas turbine. The mathematical relationships established in this model allow for quick calculations while requiring a limited amount of data. Only nominal data are required, and some additional data are needed to calibrate the model on the turbine under study. A key feature of this model is the development of an innovative relationship that allows direct calculation of the mass flow of air entering the turbine and, thus, the performances of the turbine according to atmospheric conditions (such as pressure, temperature, and relative humidity) and the position of the compressor inlet guide vanes (IGV). The results of the simulations, obtained using code implemented in MATLAB (R2014a), demonstrate the efficiency of the model compared to experimental data. Indeed, the model relationships exhibit high determination coefficients (R<sup>2</sup> > 0.95) and low root mean square errors (RMSE). Specifically, the simulation results for the air mass flow rate demonstrate a very high determination coefficient (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9796) and a low root mean square error (RMSE = 0.0213). |
