Improved operational flexibility of gas turbines can play a major role in stabilising the electric power grid, by backing up intermittent renewable power. Gas turbines offer on-demand power and fast dispatch of power that ...

A real time simulation model has been developed to investigate the effect of variable engine bleed on steady state and transient performance of a single-spool turbojet engine. The bleed air is to be used for flow control ...

Rotorcraft cover all sectors of human activity, supporting military, civil and government needs. Their design allows them to: i) deploy at different operating environments, ii) support power-demanding flight profiles, and ...

The use of a simulation tool to predict the aero-engine performance before committing to a final engine design has become one of the most cost-saving approaches in this field. However, most of these tools are based on low ...
