Model Development and Field Testing of a Heavy-Duty Gas-Turbine Generator

This paper presents a detailed account of model development for a heavy-duty gas-turbine generator, based on field testing. Some salient points are discussed. These include a more elegant way of modeling the ambient temperature and frequency dependence of the turbine power output, the deadband in the governor response and the importance of modeling the excitation system limiters for system studies.
