Method of control and real-time comparison of a turbine using an alternate control strategy

摘要

A method for controlling and modeling a turbine (10) is provided. The method may include modeling (510) the turbine (10) by a primary adaptive turbine model (310) that includes at least one primary operating parameter (330) and modeling (530) the turbine (10) by an alternate adaptive turbine model (320) that includes at least one alternate operating parameter (360). The method may also include determining (525) a first output value from the primary adaptive turbine model (310) that corresponds at least in part to the operation of the turbine (10) based on a primary control strategy and adjusting the alternate operating parameter (360) or parameters based on an alternate control strategy and based at least in part on the first output value. The method may further include determining (575) comparison data based at least in part on a comparison between the primary control strategy and the alternate control strategy.
