German term or phrase: GT/DT

I've got little context here. There are two tables and two graphs of the tables.

One is Kaltstart and the other is Warmstart (referring to gas plants, I presume. I'll just focus my questions on one side (Kaltstart). I'm trying to determine what GT and DT could stand for.

The headings of the table are Time in Minutes/Fuel/Gross Capacity/and Schritt (which I might call stage, step, level or something else.
Time, fuel and gross capacity are all indicated in numbers.

The "Schritt" column as the following entries:
Start
GT Mindestlast für Start Kessel
DT Synchronisieren
DT Mindestlast
DT durchgewärmt
Volllast

Now, I presume the T could have something to do with turbine, but I am not quite sure.

Has anyone dealt with the subject in detail to make an educated guess?

Thank you all. I wish I could give you both points since I made my decision after JC's suggestion. I already knew the English equivalents(and posted this), but I suppose I can only be fair and chose the English variation, although my question was what DT stood for.
