“…A turbogenerator is a turbine directly connected to an electric generator for the generation of electric power [1]. Turbo generators are used on steam locomotives as a power source for coach lighting and heating systems [1]. Synchronous generators or alternators are synchronous machines used to convert mechanical power to AC electric power.…”

In this paper, the applicability of Radial Basis Function (RBF) network for the modeling and simulation of turbogenerators is presented. It is expensive and time- consuming to do experimental work to predict the behaviour of Turbogenerators with changing all variables. The RBF network is developed with speed and excitation current as inputs and voltage, active power and reactive power as desired outputs. The proposed RBF model is developed and trained with MATLAB 7.8 software. To obtain the optimal RBF model several structures have been constructed and tested. The comparison between experimental and predicted values using the proposed RBF model shows that there is a good agreement between them. Moreover, the RBF model is compared with another model named Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP), which is another important architectures of neural networks. The results obtained show that the proposed RBF model is more accurate and reliable than MLP model.
