Axial compressor maps are able to represent the performance of all its operating range. These maps are used for determining the operating point in the off-design simulation. This thesis proposes a methodology for handling maps of axial compressors, based on existing methodologies. The model, called PCOMP, is able to obtain a new rotational speed line between two adjacent lines known. The distance between the known and the new line will determine the influence that each one will have in the characteristics of the new line. Once determined the speed line, one can find the operating point interpolating the known parameters to determine the corrected mass flow and isentropic efficiency for the corresponding pressure ratio given in the entry data of the routine. The weighting method using to determinate the new rotation speed line presented deviations smaller than 3% for the corrected mass flow and isentropic efficiency. By comparing the outputs of the developed code with the operating data of a real power plant, were found deviations smaller than 1% for the isentropic efficiency. The routine was successfully implemented in a gas turbine performance computer program, called NGGT (Natural Gas & Gas Turbine) model, which presented accurate and efficient simulations.
