The design and testing of various types of controllers require accurate and reliable transfer functions that are compatible with the performance condition of the system. In this paper, the linear and the nonlinear methods have been utilized for extracting the transfer functions for a three-shaft industrial gas turbine. The main variables are the fuel input and environment temperature, while the main outputs are the LPT exhaust gas temperature and the generated power. According to the nonlinear structure of the system and the input variation intervals, the quasi-amplitude-modulated pseudo random binary sequence signals have been utilized for generating input parameters. Finally, the results extracted from the selected methods were compared to the outputs of real performance data under loading and unloading conditions. Based on the comparison between the accuracies obtained by the results, the auto-regressive moving average with eXogenous, try and error transfer function and linearized Hammerstein model methods are proposed, respectively. The outcome of using the controller indicated higher compatibility from transfer functions as compared to the reference dynamic model.

Due to the sensitivity of gas turbines’ power generation in Iran, robustness is considered as a crucial matter and the controllers play an essential role in this objective. The common controllers used in gas turbines are usually based on standard performance. Whereas, robust controllers demonstrate acceptable performance in the presence of adverse factors such as uncertainties, disturbances, and input step changes. In this study, dynamic structures and various robust control design scenarios for an MGT-30 three-shaft gas turbine have proposed. Input-output matrices have been presented based on the dynamic model structures, and a standard robust controller structure has been used to design and present transfer matrices. Four scenarios have been considered in the robust control design according to the number of control variables, uncertainties, and disturbance effects, evolutionally, respectively. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] methods were used in the controller design when presenting the results of using the existing PID controller. The results show that with the increase and develop in parameters influencing the production of the actual system behavior and the controller responses improve noticeably. Finally, the fourth scenario was proposed as a scenario with more desirable robustness features than other scenarios, which provide a complete array of robust controllers.

Global energy demand is expected to increase in the following two decades. Operational flexibility of power generation systems is a key aspect when assessing potential solutions seeking to help meeting this expected increase in global energy demand. In low calorific value (LCV) gaseous fuels-fired power plants, it is paramount to consider the effects of the employed LCV/lean-gases-based fuels on the associated gas turbine systems and surrounding equipment. Moreover, because of the industrial processes usually occurring upstream these power plants, the fuel supply conditions change significantly during their normal operation. Gas turbines based on LCV gaseous fuels thus present a quite distinct engine behavior, and their modeling is therefore challenging. The dynamic modeling of such engines is the main focus of this work. Accordingly, the gas turbine dynamic model developed here is initially discussed, along with topics, such as gas turbine mass flow rates, cooling systems effectiveness and gas turbine component characteristics, relevant to the dynamic modeling of LCV fuels-based power plants. The use of the developed model for the simulation of an actual combined cycle power plant with cogeneration based on a LCV fuel is next highlighted. The main results show that overall acceptable agreements between computed parameters and actual power plant operating data are obtained. The corresponding average discrepancies range from 1 to 6%. In spite of the large number of factors directly influencing the numerical results obtained from the real-time simulations carried out, the power plant operating data trends are in general well reproduced by the computed results. The obtained results highlight in particular both the model applicability to operating scenarios presenting significant gradients in gas turbine characteristic parameters, and the need of including in the modeling key processes present in power plants actual operation.
