Abstract:
Power generation by means of gas turbine power plants is playing a major role
worldwide. Wide spread application of a gas turbine in electricity generation and the
dynamic nature of this system has doubled the necessity of its accurate modelling and
variables control. Gas turbine is a complex system and highly nonlinear in its overall
performance. This research focuses on development of a dynamic gas turbine model
to simulate the response of the system with speed. The system response was
simulated using Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller but the newer
technology has brought into the fuzzy control algorithm to improve the performance
of these turbines.
This study presents the application of a fuzzy logic control algorithm in a better and
efficient way to control the gas turbine. The whole system is developed and simulated
on MATLAB/SIMULINK, along with the comparison showing the effectiveness of
the proposed fuzzy logic control algorithm compared to the traditional PID control.
