Theses and Dissertations

Gas Turbine is a complex system and highly non linear in its overall performance. For power generation applications, it is essential to develop a reliable gas turbine model for simulating the impact on electric power generated under various load conditions. This research focuses on development of a dynamic gas turbine model to simulate both single shaft and twin shaft engines. The model is developed on a virtual test bed platform which is an advanced dynamic multidisciplinary simulation environment. The modeling approach starts by developing mathematical models for individual components of gas turbines based on the thermodynamic laws and is coupled …
