REAL TIME MARINE GAS TURBINE SIMULATION FOR ADVANCED CONTROLLER DESIGN

The Marine Gas Turbine control systems presently in use by the U.S. Navy are of such advanced technological maturity that they should now be utilized by designers of industrial-use controller systems to assure increased plant efficiency. To this end, a new real-time Marine Gas Turbine simulation method is developed for the purpose of advanced controller design and implementation. A modeling method is shown that utilizes real-time sequential linearizations to approximate the true nonlinear response of the NPS Boeing 502-6A test facility. A validation of this simulation approach then follows. The method has immediate application to advanced controller design, especially to the design of modern regulators (Linear Quadratic), model reference controllers, and real-time diagnostics.
