Study on multi-loop control strategy of three-shaft gas turbine for electricity generation

This paper aims to develop a dynamic performance model of three-shaft gas turbine for electricity generation and to study a multi-loop control strategy of three-shaft gas turbine for electricity generation.

In this paper, the dynamic performance model of the three-shaft gas turbine is established and developed. A novel approach, variable partial differential coefficient deviation linearization method is used to simulate the dynamic performance of the three-shaft gas turbine. Single-loop control system, feed-forward feedback control system and cascade system are assessed to control the engine during transient operation.

A novel approach, variable partial differential coefficient deviation linearization method is used to simulate the dynamic performance of the three-shaft gas turbine. According to the results shown, the cascade control system is most satisfactory due to its fastest response and the best stability and robustness.

The method of variable partial linearization is adopted to make the dynamic simulation of the model achieve higher precision, better steady state and less computation time. This paper provides a theoretical study for the multi-loop control system of a marine three-shaft gas turbine.
