Estimating Compressor Discharge Pressure of Gas Turbine Power Plant Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems
Umesh Pareek, Indra Narayan Kar · 2006
This paper presents a successful demonstration of application of type-2 fuzzy logic systems (FLS) to predict a critical parameter of Gas Turbine in a power plant viz., the compressor discharge pressure. The loss of Compressor Discharge Pressure (CDP) measurement leads to loss of few megawatts electricity generation. It is also demonstrated here by way of comparison, that a type-2 FLS is more robust in the presence of noise uncertainties than a type-1 conventional FLS for this application. Results are verified through the practical plant data obtained from a 110 MW gas turbine power plant.
