Development of Controller for Parallel Operation of Gas Turbine Plants

Abstract

Gas turbines are used in biomass plants for energy conversion. An effective control scheme is required for optimal performance during parallel operation. In this article, an optimal proportional-integral-derivative controller is developed for isolated operation. The gas turbines are then connected in parallel, and an effective control scheme is developed for their parallel operation. The response of the gas turbine plants with a proportional-integral-derivative controller in parallel operation shows improved performance.
