In this study, the performance modeling of MT30 gas turbine engine is performed. The design point is determined, and the component performance maps to which the scaling technique is applied are generated using standard maps provided by the commercial program. Off-design point performance analysis is performed with the generated performance model, and this is compared with the performance deck data of the engine. It is confirmed that the data of the performance maps generated by the one-point scaling method had some errors from the performance deck data, and it is determined that correction is necessary to increase the accuracy of the performance model. Therefore, the off-design point analysis is performed by creating the correction performance model in a manner that obtains the scaling factors for each operating point(off-design point) according to the high pressure spool speed.

The gas turbine engine performance relies greatly on its component performance characteristics. Generally, engine manufacturers do not provide engine purchasers the component performance characteristics which can be obtained by lots of experimental tests at various operating conditions and big amount of expenses. In previous works the component maps have mostly been generated by scaling from a similar component map. However this scaling method has large error at off design points, specially in high altitude operation. Therefore this work proposes an inverse modeling method that can generate components maps of PT6A-67A turboprop engine using performance data provided by the engine manufacturer. In addition, evaluation can be made through comparison between performance analysis results using the performance simulation program including the generated compressor map and performance data.
