GovCT1

Class Description

General model for any prime mover with a PID governor, used primarily for combustion turbine and combined cycle units. This model can be used to represent a variety of prime movers controlled by PID governors. It is suitable, for example, for the representation of: <ul> <li>gas turbine and single shaft combined cycle turbines</li> </ul> <ul> <li>diesel engines with modern electronic or digital governors </li> </ul> <ul> <li>steam turbines where steam is supplied from a large boiler drum or a large header whose pressure is substantially constant over the period under study</li> <li>simple hydro turbines in dam configurations where the water column length is short and water inertia effects are minimal.</li> </ul> Additional information on this model is available in the 2012 IEEE report, <i><u>Dynamic Models for Turbine-Governors in Power System Studies</u></i>, 3.1.2.3 pages 3-4 (GGOV1).

Attributes

NameTypeDescription
asetFloatAcceleration limiter setpoint (<i>Aset</i>). Unit = PU / s. Typical value = 0,01.
dbPUSpeed governor deadband in PU speed (<i>db</i>). In the majority of applications, it is recommended that this value be set to zero. Typical value = 0.
dmPUSpeed sensitivity coefficient (<i>Dm</i>). <i>Dm</i> can represent either the variation of the engine power with the shaft speed or the variation of maximum power capability with shaft speed. If it is positive it describes the falling slope of the engine speed verses power characteristic as speed increases. A slightly falling characteristic is typical for reciprocating engines and some aero-derivative turbines. If it is negative the engine power is assumed to be unaffected by the shaft speed, but the maximum permissible fuel flow is taken to fall with falling shaft speed. This is characteristic of single-shaft industrial turbines due to exhaust temperature limits. Typical value = 0.
kaPUAcceleration limiter gain (<i>Ka</i>). Typical value = 10.
kdgovPUGovernor derivative gain (<i>Kdgov</i>). Typical value = 0.
kigovPUGovernor integral gain (<i>Kigov</i>). Typical value = 2.
kiloadPULoad limiter integral gain for PI controller (<i>Kiload</i>). Typical value = 0,67.
kimwPUPower controller (reset) gain (<i>Kimw</i>). The default value of 0,01 corresponds to a reset time of 100 s. A value of 0,001 corresponds to a relatively slow-acting load controller. Typical value = 0,01.
kpgovPUGovernor proportional gain (<i>Kpgov</i>). Typical value = 10.
kploadPULoad limiter proportional gain for PI controller (<i>Kpload</i>). Typical value = 2.

ldrefPULoad limiter reference value (<i>Ldref</i>). Typical value = 1.
maxerrPUMaximum value for speed error signal (<i>maxerr</i>) (> GovCT1.minerr). Typical value = 0,05.
minerrPUMinimum value for speed error signal (<i>minerr</i>) (< GovCT1.maxerr). Typical value = -0,05.
mwbaseActivePowerBase for power values (<i>MWbase</i>) (> 0). Unit = MW.

tactSecondsActuator time constant (<i>Tact</i>) (>= 0). Typical value = 0,5.
tbSecondsTurbine lag time constant (<i>Tb</i>) (> 0). Typical value = 0,5.
tcSecondsTurbine lead time constant (<i>Tc</i>) (>= 0). Typical value = 0.
tdgovSecondsGovernor derivative controller time constant (<i>Tdgov</i>) (>= 0). Typical value = 1.
tengSecondsTransport time delay for diesel engine used in representing diesel engines where there is a small but measurable transport delay between a change in fuel flow setting and the development of torque (<i>Teng</i>) (>= 0). <i>Teng</i> should be zero in all but special cases where this transport delay is of particular concern. Typical value = 0.
tfloadSecondsLoad-limiter time constant (<i>Tfload</i>) (> 0). Typical value = 3.
tpelecSecondsElectrical power transducer time constant (<i>Tpelec</i>) (> 0). Typical value = 1.

vmaxPUMaximum valve position limit (<i>Vmax</i>) (> GovCT1.vmin). Typical value = 1.
vminPUMinimum valve position limit (<i>Vmin</i>) (< GovCT1.vmax). Typical value = 0,15.
wfnlPUNo load fuel flow (<i>Wfnl</i>). Typical value = 0,2.
wfspdBooleanSwitch for fuel source characteristic to recognize that fuel flow, for a given fuel valve stroke, can be proportional to engine speed (<i>Wfspd</i>).
true = fuel flow proportional to speed (for some gas turbines and diesel engines with positive displacement fuel injectors)
false = fuel control system keeps fuel flow independent of engine speed.
Typical value = true.
