Estimating Gas Turbine Internal Cycle Parameters Using a Neural Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that a neural network can be successfully used in place of an actual model to estimate key unmeasured parameters in a gas turbine. As an example we study the combustion reference temperature, a parameter that is currently estimated via a nonlinear model inside the controller and is used in a number of critical mode-setting functions within the controller such as calculating the fuel-split between various manifolds. We-show that a feedforward neural network using simple backpropagation learning can be built for estimating combustion reference temperature. The neural network matches the accuracy of the current estimate; and it is more robust to errors in its internal parameters. This is advantageous from the point of view of implementation since a number of errors creep in when running the algorithm on a digital controller, and an estimator that is not robust with respect to such errors can degrade the performance of the whole system.
