Abstract The hydro-turbine governing system (HTGS) and shafting system are mutually coupled. However, the interaction between them has always been neglected. This paper aims to explore the stability and sensitivity of the governor control parameters to the HTGS and shafting system and make the optimal control of the stable operation for the hydro-turbine generator unit(HTGU). First, a novel HTGU motion equation is proposed, which can make connections between the HTGS and the shafting system of the HTGU. And on this basis, the nonlinear coupling mathematical model of the HTGS and the shafting system is established. According to the nonlinear mathematical model, the sensitivity of the governor control parameters on the operating stability of the HTGU is obtained. Then, a multi-objective governor control parameters optimization strategy is proposed. Furthermore, the chaotic-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA-II) and multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition(MOEAD) were introduced to obtain the optimal control parameter and mutually verify the effectiveness of the optimization effect. Finally, the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of HTGU under optimal control were revealed. The simulation results show that the rotation speed deviation and shafting system vibrations are sensitive on the PID parameters in some ranges and the stable region will be decreased when considering the shafting system vibrations. The multi-objective PID parameter optimization strategy shows good control performance on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the HTGU. The shafting system vibrations excited by the coupled vibration sources are quasi-period in 3D space. In addition to this, these results and the optimization strategy can provide some bases for the design and stable operation of the HTGU.

The complicated function relations are more prone to appear in the maintenance scheduling of steam-turbine generator unit. Many constrained conditions are often attendant with these function relations. In these situations, the traditional method often can not obtain the exact value. The genetic algorithm (GA), a kind of the heuristic algorithms, does not need the function own good analytic properties. In addition, as the operating unit of GA is the group, so it applies to the parallel computing process. In GA executive process, the offspring continually inherit the genes from the parents, so it is more prone to be involved in the local convergence. An improved genetic algorithm is proposed and used in the model of maintenance decision of turbine-generator unit under. The goal of the model is to seek to the rational maintenance scheduling of the generator unit, so as to minimize the sum of the maintenance expense, the loss of the profit on the generated energy, and the loss of the penalty. It is proved by the example that IGA is highly efficient.

As a final step of the Catalytic Combustor Development Program, a catalytic combustor developed was tested in a 150-kW gas turbine-generator unit. A digital control system was developed to improve its controllability for a transient operation, and a 200-hr continuous operation test was performed to asses the durability of the catalyst. During the test, an excellent performance of the control system was verified, and a very high combustion efficiency of more than 99% and a ultra-low NOx level of less than 5.6 ppm (at 15% O2) were achieved at a 150-kW generator output. In addition, the combustion efficiency has been maintained at over 98% for 200 hours of operation. However, the catalyst exposed to 200 hours of operation showed signs of deactivation.
