The paper deals with a time-domain (transient) model of a microturbine power unit for the design, optimization, and verification of control equipment. The model includes the starter motor, generator, gearbox, and single-shaft gas microturbine. In addition to the normal operational performance the model allows simulating various faults including failed ignition in the combustion chamber. Explicit formulation of the differential equations of the model allows computationally effective implementations in a hardware emulator.
