Gasturb 13

Recent scholarly work leveraging GasTurb 13 often focuses on alternative fuels, fault diagnosis, and futuristic engine concepts: Alternative Fuels & Decarbonization

The story of Gasturb 13 begins not with a clean sheet of paper, but with a failure. In 1978, United Turbine AB had bet its future on the , a massive, 150-megawatt single-shaft machine designed for base-load coal-gasification plants. The oil crises of the decade had made coal seem like the future, but the Gasturb 10 was a nightmare: it was prone to first-stage blade creep, its annular combustor suffered from harmonic instability, and its control system—a labyrinth of analog relays and hydraulic actuators—was obsolete before it left the factory. Only seven units were ever sold. Gasturb 13
