Automatic control systems for gas-turbine units in mini power stations: Testing automation at the stages of design and tuning

This paper presents the testing automation procedure for automatic control systems of gas-turbine units used as drives in small-size power stations. We substantiate the applicability of mathematical modeling techniques for power systems in testing automation problems of the control systems. Finally, multitasking mathematical models are derived, and a simulation software complex is developed for testing automation of the control systems; this is done by employing the mathematical model of a power system with an arbitrary configuration and structural elements.
