Design of Gas Turbine Cooling System Based on Improved Jumping Spider Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

The gas turbine cooling system is a complex MIMO system with a strong coupling, nonlinear, time-varying and large disturbance amplitude. In order to automatically control the target flow, target temperature and pipeline pressure, in this paper, the decoupler and regulator of a gas turbine cooling system are designed. Firstly, the working principle of a gas turbine cooling system and the coupling between the controlled variables of the system are analyzed. The decoupler of the system is designed by using the diagonal matrix decoupling method. The transfer function models of the coupling system are built through system identification, and the decoupling matrix of the system is calculated according to the diagonal matrix decoupling method and transfer function models. Then, the engine cooling control system simulation model is constructed and an improved jumping spider optimization algorithm is proposed. The parameters of the controller are optimized by the improved jumping spider optimization algorithm. Finally, the control system simulation is done and compared with the jumping spider optimization algorithm and the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The simulation results show that the improved jumping spider optimization algorithm is more suitable for the multivariable strong coupling nonlinear engine cooling system. For the flow and pressure control, the transient time and overshoot are reduced, and the steady-state error is less than 1%. For the temperature control, the result of the improved jumping spider optimization algorithm is more smooth, without overshoot, and almost does not exceed the set inlet water temperature. The overshoot, steady-state errors and transient time of the system have been improved, which proves the feasibility and significance of the improved jumping spider optimization algorithm by comparing the control performance and optimization time.

Adaptive control for circulating cooling water system using deep reinforcement learning
