Hybrid Simulation of a Single-Shaft Gas Turbine Water Pump Drive

This paper describes the hybrid simulation of a single-shaft W 191 M gas turbine water pump drive, carried out to carefully adapt the control system to starting and stopping under load within plant operating limitations. For this simulation work, the hybrid computer favorably combines analog computer flexibility in the solving control problems with digital computer memory for storage of steady-state characteristics. The latter are generated using a new hybrid function generation technique for two independent variables.
