Industries
Power & Energy
Modeling thermal systems, combustion processes, and energy conversion for power generation applications.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Power and Energy
Reliable, sustainable power, whether from a gas-engine power plant, an island microgrid, or a renewable-plus-storage installation, depends on getting generation, distribution, storage, and grid interaction right together, not in isolation.
GT-SUITE’s multi-physics platform lets engineers model on-site generation, microgrid architecture, energy storage design, power chain resilience, and battery performance and safety as one connected system, before any hardware is purchased. One platform covers renewable and conventional generation, microgrid control, storage sizing, transient power-quality behavior, and cell-level battery safety, so a design decision in one area accounts for its effect on the others.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Right-Size and De-Risk Power Generation
Power generation procurement is high-stakes: oversizing wastes capital, undersizing risks reliability, and traditional trial-and-error procurement is slow and expensive. GT-SUITE lets engineers evaluate solar, wind, hydrogen, and engine-based generation under real operating conditions before committing to hardware, whether the project is a gas-engine power plant, a hybrid renewable installation, or an island grid.
- High-fidelity, fast multi-physics simulation of solar, wind, and fuel-cell systems
- Detailed modeling of hydrogen production via electrolysis Simulation of reciprocating engines, gas turbines, and hybrid systems for performance, fuel efficiency, and thermal behavior under real loads
- Testing of alternative fuels and blends, and full aftertreatment systems (SCR, DPF, DOC) to predict emissions and support regulatory compliance
- Carbon capture process modeling via ready-to-use absorption-column and gas/liquid membrane-separator templates
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Design Resilient Microgrids with Zero-Downtime Power Delivery
Whether powering a remote community, or an industrial site, modern power systems blend grid power, on-site generation and storage. GT-SUITE models the full microgrid as one system, from architecture down to the millisecond-level transfer that keeps critical loads running. Batteries, fuel cells, piston engines or gas turbines as power sources, in any combination, in one model
- Integrated simulation of grid power, on-site generation, and UPS/BESS together, with microgrid controller and power-flow optimization
- Transient stability and load-transfer analysis across the distribution architecture
- Simulation of the multi-stage UPS/generator transfer sequence to eliminate voltage sags or interruptions, plus protection coordination testing (fuses, circuit breakers)
- Frequency regulation, voltage support, and grid-forming capability during islanding, plus harmonic filter sizing to reduce Total Harmonic Distortion
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Size, Store, and Protect Energy
Energy storage system, whether serving a power plant, a renewables project, or a standalone storage systems have to balance efficiency, cost, and reliability. GT-SUITE offers to analyze energy storage technologies in a component and an integrated system context.
- Physics-based sizing and design for high-energy and high-power requirements, across lithium-ion, flow batteries, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage, flywheels, and pumped-storage hydropower
- Design of Experiments (DoE) and parametric simulation to explore configurations, plus worst-case scenario analysis for robustness
- Multiphysics coupling across thermal, chemical, electrical, and mechanical domains, with system-level energy management across batteries, inverters, and grid systems to optimize overall efficiency
