Effect of the Modification of the Start-Up Sequence on the Thermal Stresses for a Microgas Turbine

Microgas turbines (MGT) are an alternative for small-scale energy production; however, their small size becomes a drawback since it enhances the heat transfer among their components. Moreover, heat transfer drives to temperature gradients which become higher during transient cycles like start-up. Th...
