Combined cycle gas turbine and generator matching performance

Abstract

Due to ever-increasing demand for power there arise a need for installation of higher efficiency generating stations. This problem of higher efficiency plants can be resolved by the combined cycle power plants which provide a high installation capacity and higher efficiencies; but the installation of newer generating stations affects the stability of grid. The behavior of combined cycle power plants is still a topic of research as none of the models developed yet have been successfully able describe its overall behavior. The following paper studies the behavior of combined cycle generator under various conditions using MATLAB/Simulink model.
