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 .
