Examples
:
a fast change from initial turbine outlet temperature of 540 C to final turbine
outlet temperature of 230 C (or from 230 C to 540 C) is equivalent to =
310 C. This yields
71 equivalent operating hours with open (100 %) inlet guide vanes
29 equivalent operating hours with half-closed (50 %) inlet guide vanes
8 equivalent

In case of load rejection with open inlet guide vanes, the final turbine outlet temperature is
about 200 C.
In case of load rejection with closed inlet guide vanes, the final turbine outlet temperature is
about 275 C.
