Abstract: This study describes the theoretical and experimental analysis of an MW-level three-shaft gas turbine. A thermodynamic-cycle calculation method of a three-shaft gas turbine with a hybrid cooling model is developed. Certain test data from the real engine, such as power output, fuel flow rate, overall efficiency, power turbine inlet and outlet temperatures, rotational speeds of the gas generator high-pressure shaft and low-pressure shaft and air flow rate, are obtained via experimental research. The empirical parameters in the proposed calculation method and the cooling model are revised via comparison between the calculated results and the test data. The effectiveness of the thermodynamic cycle performance analysis method of the three-shaft gas turbine and the cooling model is also verified.
