3. Performance trends
3.1 Theoretical justification
The steady increase in performance of combustion turbines is the result of technological advances in materials and wall cooling. These make it possible to achieve ever-higher compression ratios and gas inlet temperatures. Referring to figure 2, it is possible to visualize the positive impact of raising these parameters on overall machine performance. Indeed, increasing the compressor compression ratio allows point 2 (figure
