Comparison of Conventional and Modern Controllers for a Gas Turbine Power Plant

Nowadays, many thermal power plants areestablished for the generation of electrical energy. In this study, the designof a Gas Turbine Power Plant is analyzed in Ambarlı, Turkey. Then, conventionaland modern control techniques are applied for comparison. These controllers areconventional proportional and integral (PI), particle swarm optimization basedproportional-integral (PSO-PI) and fuzzy gain scheduled proportional-integral(FGPI). The results show that, the performance of  the proposed FGPI is  better than the conventional controllers onsettling time and overshoot of power outputs.
