TURBINE_MODEL

Description​

When using a TURBINE it is required for a TURBINE_MODEL to be specified. This is done under the MODELS section.

A turbine model describes a gas-fired turbine that is coupled to a compressor or compression train. It is specified in a similar way to a GENERATORSET. TURBINE_LOAD, TURBINE_EFFICIENCY and LOWER_HEATING_VALUE needs to be inputted here.

Format​

MODELS:
  - NAME: <name of turbine>
    TYPE: TURBINE
    LOWER_HEATING_VALUE: <lower heating value in MJ/Sm3>
    TURBINE_LOADS: <list of power values in mega watt>
    TURBINE_EFFICIENCIES: <list of efficiency values, fractions between 0 and 1 corresponding to 0-100%>
    POWER_ADJUSTMENT_CONSTANT: <Optional constant MW adjustment added to the model>
