In the same way, the microturbine experiences an increase in speed when the load disappears and the fuel is cut down to a minimum, just to keep the flame alive. The difference between the model and the microturbine in speed around 220 seconds depends probably on differences in the control system settings. The difference in dynamics between the TIT signal and the TOT signal is very interesting. In the original turbine model, the turbine is just an algebraic relation between speed, mass flow and pressure. Then the TIT and TOT signals would have exactly the same dynamics. As we can see from experimental data from the microturbine (solid blue), there is additional dynamics similar to a first order filter. The reason behind this is the extra heat storage in the turbine rotor and the turbine diffuser, see section 3.2. This is modelled by an extra heat exchanger. There is an interesting difference between the model and the measured data in TOT and TIT, right after the step at 220 seconds. The measured temperatures decrease slower, which could indicate that the extra heat storage effect described above is larger than in the model or that the time constant of the temperature sensors are larger. The third and last case is brake test verification. The microturbine is run at part load. At a given time t the electric power is disconnected to simulate a power circuit failure. When the power is disconnected, the fuel valves are closed immediately. To prevent the microturbine from over speed, i.e. speeds over 70 000 rpm, a brake chopper is switched on. The brake chopper consists of resistors, which brake and dissipate the kinetic energy of the machine via the generator. The brake chopper is therefore modelled exactly as the generator, i.e. a power reference that gives the 50 Temperature (K) Fuel (%) Power (kW), Speed (%)PDF Image | Modelling of Microturbine Systems
