Highly Nonlinear

The new electric power generation scenario, characterized by growing variability due to the greater presence of renewable energy sources (RES), requires more restrictive dynamic requirements for conventional power generators. Among traditional power generators, gas turbines (GTs) can regulate the output electric power faster than any other type of plant; therefore, they are of considerable interest in this context. In particular, the dynamic performance of a GT, being a highly nonlinear and complex system, strongly depends on the applied control system. Proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers are the current standard for GT control. However, since such controllers have limitations for various reasons, a model predictive control (MPC) was designed in this study to enhance GT performance in terms of dynamic behavior and robustness to model uncertainties. A comparison with traditional PID-based controllers and alternative model-based control approaches (feedback linearization control) found in the literature demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

High Level

The purity of hydrogen used within electric power generators has a direct effect on cooling efficiency, windage friction losses, generating capacity and generator longevity. Hydrogen’s high thermal conductivity is the primary reason it is used as the cooling media in a generator instead of air. Hydrogen has a thermal conductivity of nearly seven times that of air, and its ability to transfer heat through forced convection is about 50% better than air. Maintaining hydrogen’s high thermal conductivity through purity monitoring and continuous improvement is important to the overall operation of hydrogen cooled electric generators. Continuous hydrogen replenishment has been proven to be an effective technique in maintaining purity within hydrogen cooled electric generators. A properly implemented continuous replenishment system will maintain a consistent high level of purity, low gas dew point, and constant pressure within the generator.

AbstractThe “top” intergenerator part situated between the GaInP and GaAs subcells (electric power generators) is analyzed. The shape of the light current–voltage characteristics and the V _ oc – J _ sc (open-circuit voltage–short-circuit current) dependence are examined. It is found that the p ^+– n ^+ tunnel heterojunction situated in the “top” intergenerator part can operate as a photoelectric source counteracting the base p – n junctions. In this case, the V _ oc – J _ sc characteristic has a descending part, and a sharp jump can be observed. This undesirable effect becomes weaker with increasing peak current of the tunnel junction.
