Abstract

This article aims to discuss the influence of compressor inlet guide vane (IGV) position on gas turbine switching control system gain tuning problem. The distinction between IGV and normally reckoned working conditions is differentiated, and an improved double-layer linear parameter varying (LPV) model is proposed to estimate the protected parameters under various IGV positions. Controller gain tuning is conducted with single and multi-objective intellectual optimization algorithms. Simulation results reveal that normally used multi-objective optimization procedure is unnecessary and time-consuming. While with the comprehensive indicator introduced in this paper, the calculation burden can be greatly eased. This improvement is especially advantageous when tuning work is carried out under multiple IGV positions.
