GateCycle 6.14: Heat Balance Software for Power Plant Simulation
GateCycle 6.14 is a recent version of GE Energy’s specialized heat balance software for the design, simulation, and performance analysis of thermal power plants .
Core Capabilities
GateCycle predicts design and off-design performance for a wide range of energy systems :
| Category | Supported Systems |
|---|---|
| Gas Turbines | Industrial frame, aero-derivatives, simple cycle |
| Steam Cycles | Subcritical, supercritical coal plants |
| Combined Cycle | HRSG, combined heat-and-power, cogeneration |
| Other | Advanced gas turbine cycles, LNG processing plants |
Key Features
-
Design & Off-Design Modes: Design mode sizes equipment to meet performance criteria; off-design mode calculates “as-built” performance under operational conditions .
-
Graphical Model Building: Drag-and-drop components from equipment toolbox; guided data entry with default values .
-
CycleLink Interface: Robust Excel interface enabling parametric studies and automated calculations .
-
Customization: User-defined equations, tables, macros, and control loop simulation .
-
Regression Tool: Optimize design parameters and reconcile plant measurements .
-
Multiple Property Routines: IAPWS-IF 97, TPSI for water/steam; JANAF tables for real gas equations .
