Challenge

Build a CCGT Power Efficiency Optimizer with CrewAI

Optimizing heat-rate performance for Doosan Enerbility's $670m combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) project in Oman requires multi-agent thermal analysis. Build a multi-agent system using CrewAI to analyze steam cycle efficiency, ambient heat impacts, and fuel intake ratios.
