[GAS TURBINE FUEL AND AIR CONTROL SYSTEM]

Advancement in power generation has tended to enhance the ability in producing a
more efficient power especially in mass power generation. In producing an efficient
power generation, fuel consumption is one of the major criteria that need to be
enhanced. Recent advance in fuel flow control have the potential for a significant
impact on the design and performance of modern gas turbine engine. Fuel flow
control has the potential to enhance mixing of fluids, modify wake behavior and
reduce drag. The need ofdesigning a efficient gas turbine fuel and air flow control
has drive the author to make a first step in designing and improving the gas turbine
fuel and air control system. As been mentioned before this requirement in heavy
power generation are much important in agreater living for main kind. From this
study and design author will go in-depth in real application ofcontrol system design.
The definition of fuel and air control system that author adopt here is the used of the
small modification (especially in steps response) to change the decision making or
fuel and air consumption for the existing gas turbine available. The design will be
base onDIDATEC TGT 1,5KW gas turbine (UTP). The design will be done byreal
time data and linear time invariant system, also theoretical formulation that will be
studied by author for the improvement project. The improvement design that been
done by the author will be the implementation ofFuzzy Logic system , where this
implementation have shown atremendous improvement and benefit especially in real
time application with ambiguous decision making system. Author also will analyze
and design others conventional control system such as PID controller and also Leadlag
compensator design. The design of system will be done with the help of
MATLAB andSIMULINK software for comparison and system implementation.
