CycleLink Utility

Spreadsheet Interface for GateCycle™ Software

CycleLink is an easy-to-use utility that is included with GateCycle software. It is based on Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets. It allows engineers, operations managers and business development analysts to use the full power of GateCycle software for on-design and off-design cycle studies without learning GateCycle software modeling techniques or delving into engineering detail.

Customize Interfaces for Distribution

A member of your engineering staff (the model builder) designs a model of your plant using GateCycle software, and sets up the CycleLink utility to display key input and output variables from this model. An end user can vary the input variables in the spreadsheet to review the impact of changes on plant performance. For example, the end user can look at site elevation and ambient temperature to determine the effect of site location on your standard plant's power and steam production.

Examples of end users who benefit from custom interfaces are:

  • Potential clients
  • Project development staff
  • Plant personnel
  • Satellite office personnel
