GateCycle software accurately predicts the effects of:

* Changing fuel types
* Ambient variations
* Guide-vane settings
* Multiple-pressure hrsg
* Sliding pressure operation
* Component fouling
* Part-load operation

* Pressure losses
* Parallel hrsg sections
* Steam injection
* Fossil boiler operations
* Hardware modifications
* Cooling tower operations

GateCycle software is a powerful tool for both the gas and steam sides of power plant design and analysis. To model a gas turbine, you can select from the library of gas turbines or “”build”” your turbine component by component. By building your turbine with compressor, combustor and expander spools, you can easily model inter-cooling, reheat, compressed air storage and even cascading gas turbines. For the steam side, we include all of the component icons you need to model HRSGs accurately with multiple pressure levels, parallel sections and pressure losses. You can create plant models with several gas turbines and HRSGs with different configurations.

The CycleLink utility, included with GateCycle software, allows you to run GateCycle software analyses from within the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet application.
