Dynamic Modeling of Single-Shaft Industrial Gas Turbine

In the paper the dynamic non-linear model of single shaft industrial gas turbine was developed as the first stage of a methodology aimed at the diagnosis of measurement and control sensors and gas turbine operating conditions.The model was calibrated by means of reference steady-state condition data of a real industrial gas turbine and was used to simulate various machine transients.The model is modular in structure and was carried out in simplified form, but not so as to compromise its accuracy, to reduce the calculation time and thus make it more suitable for on-line simulation.The comparison between values of working parameters obtained by the simulations and measurements during some transients on the gas turbine in operation provided encouraging results.© 1996 ASME
