Detroit Diesel Allison (DDA) Division of General Motors Corporation, has developed a 7000-shp class gas turbine engine for industrial use. The engine uses proven modern technology which results in low-fuel consumption over a wide range of power and a compact installation envelope. Approximately 5000 hr of performance and endurance testing have been accumulated to date. Testing is continuing at DDA and the first-field installation was completed in September 1977 in a stationary air compressor application. It is anticipated that 10,000 hr of engine test experience will be gained prior to production unit availability in 1978. This paper discusses the mechanical arrangement, performance, control system, installation and maintenance features, and status of the Model 570 engine.

Due to its numerous relative merits, a bright future awaits the gas turbine engine. Hence the gas turbine engine technology has been developed continuously in diverse areas such as cycle analysis, including novel cycles and second-law analyses; design, development and economic maintenance; combustion and environment; in addition to modeling, simulation and performance of engine components. Therefore a brief review of these areas is presented to highlight future trends.

The use of syngas from gasified biomass as fuel for electric power generation based on gas turbine engines has been seriously studied over the past last two decades. Few experimental power plants have been built around the world. A small review of the use of syngas from gasified biomass and a cleaning system for gas turbine engines are presented. In this paper a computational program was presented and validated to simulate the design and off-design performance analysis of simple cycle gas turbine engines with one and two shafts. The aim was to assess the behavior and performance of the gas turbine engine without accounting for auxiliary syngas fuel compressor when the gasifier is atmospheric. It shows the behavior and performance at the off design condition of these two types of hypothetic gas turbine engines. The two engines were designed to use kerosene as fuel and at off-design conditions, and they were run using syngas from gasified biomass. The results show that the running line in the compressor characteristic moves towards the surge line and that the performance changes when the engine runs with the syngas.

An overview description of the WR-21 Intercooled Recuperated Gas Turbine Engine System (ICR), currently being designed, built and tested for the U.S. Navy Surface Fleet is presented. The paper describes a development program which reduces development risk and results in a modem, affordable engine that reduces propulsion fuel costs by 30 percent. Major system components and their functions are outlined. Environmental and performance requirements are discussed together with trade-offs which lead to the current configuration as the best combination of cost, performance, reliability, maintainability and other attributes. Then the configuration design is presented. A key to the low-risk design is commonality with the commercial RB211 aircraft engine family. Inherited from the RB211 modular engine are the flexible ICR maintenance features. Modularity also allows mixing and matching to achieve a variety of engines ranging up to 37.3 MW (50,000 bhp). Finally, the ship integration aspects of the WR-21 are discussed.
