Title: Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Fast Start: The Physics Behind the Concept

GTCC startup optimization is essentially minimizing the time required to reach the dispatch power (e.g., full load or a specific part load) without "breaking anything" in the process. For example, failure to control thermal stresses results in cracks via low/high cycle fatigue (LCF and HCF) and brittle fracture. This article provide relevant and easy-to-use technical information (in the form of simple charts, basic equations and representative physical quantities) to form an informed opinion on available technologies for GTCC startups.
