Power Generation in a Gas Turbine-Generator Procedure

A Gas Turbine-Generator is used to represent a simple-cycle combustion gas turbine (consisting of an air compressor, a combustion chamber and a gas expansion turbine) coupled to an electric generator. The turbine drives both the compressor and the generator. The equipment resource hosts a Power Generation in a Gas Turbine-Generator Procedure with a main objective to convert the thermal energy of the fuel into electrical power.
