Abstract

An accurate understanding of the output power functionality in gas turbines concerning the fuel, inlet valve status and other parameters can provide a general overview of the turbine's performance. In this study, the problem of practical power regulation in gas turbines is investigated in the simultaneous presence of actuator constraints, unknown disturbances, and measurement noises. To this aim, a model predictive controller-based approach is utilized because of its high flexibility combined with a two-layer filtering and anti-filtering procedure to efficiently cope with the measurement noises. Moreover, the proposed structure takes the effects of unknown disturbances into account and thereby it is shown that the proposed controller can efficiently achieve all design objectives while handling actuator constraints, disturbances and measurement noises.
