Off-grid testing benefits
 No grid restrictions… no “speed
limit”
 Replicates all ambient extremes
and operational transients
 Allows to derive full compressor
operating map
 Can explore repeated surge or
stall events
 Validates gas turbine prior to first
fire
 Exploring growth potential
Test bed capability exceeds any site operating envelope
