Workshop Overview
It is now more than 70 years since the first successful electric power-generating gas turbine, designed and constructed by A. B. Brown Boveri, went into commercial operation in 1939 in the municipal power station in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In the same year on 27 August, the world’s first aircraft to fly on turbojet power, the Heinkel He 178 took off from the airfield in Rostock, Germany. Ten years later the world's first commercial jet airliner made its maiden flight.
Since that time the gas turbine application is found in fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, ships, power stations and in the gas compression stations of pipelines. It has also become the dominant rotating equipment whose down time adversely impacts the profitability of any processing plant. Thorough understanding of gas turbine performance is therefore the essential key to achieve optimized plant performance.
This customized course aims to provide in-depth coverage on gas turbine performance evaluation as well as alternative options for performance enhancement. Overview of gas turbine cycle and component design along with its off-design behaviour will be presented to give comprehensive representation of gas turbine’s features.
Systematic and detailed studies on performance evaluation along with appropriate analysis of these studies will lead to various options to achieve performance enhancement of gas turbine operation. Numerous case studies and real life examples will also be presented to provide delegates with practical knowledge to be applied in their plants.
About Your Course Facilitator
The course facilitator is a worldwide gas turbine performance specialist with nearly 40 years of experience. He completed his study at Technical University of Munich with major in Aero & Space Technology in 1969. Afterwards he was an Assistant Professor at the Flight Propulsion Institute of the Technical University of Munich where he obtained his doctorate degree of engineering in 1976.
He had 28 years of experience working with MTU Aero Engines in the Engine Performance Department on the development of many different military and civil gas turbines. He was the lead author of the MTU Modular Performance Simulation Program MOPS which is still being used and further developed at MTU until today. He also had a chance to be MTU representative and Chairman of the international EJ200 Performance Working Group.
During his time with MTU, he was a member of the Advanced Vehicle Technology Panel; part of the Research and Technology Organisation (RTO, former AGARD) of NATO. This working group dealt with the impact of solid, liquid and gaseous water on gas turbine performance. Meanwhile, the other working group wrote the RTO-TR-AVT-036 report entitled "Performance Prediction and Simulation of Gas Turbine Engine Operation for Aircraft, Marine, Vehicular, and Power Generation". Furthermore he was for several years a member of the SAE Committee E33 “In Flight Thrust Determination”.
He is chairing sessions or presenting papers at the yearly Turbo Expo conferences of the International Gas Turbine Institute IGTI of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME since 1995. In this organisation he is a member of the Aircraft Engine and the Education Committees. Several of his papers have been published in the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power and in 2000 he got the "Best Paper Award" of the Aircraft Engine Committee.
Since the early 1990's, he has developed the publicly available cycle code GasTurb® from which he sold far more than 1000 licenses to Universities, research organizations, consultancies, gas turbine maintenance shops and major companies all around the world.
Now he is a Gas Turbine Performance Consultant and Software Developer. He is also a visiting lecturer on Gas Turbine Performance at Cranfield University, UK, at Von Karman Institute VKI, Belgium and many other recognized universities.
Partial list of companies that have benefited from his experience include:
- Siemens
- Alstom
