To achieve simulation validation for the control software and hardware platform of a gas turbine control system
the co-simulation method based on real-time and virtual environments is studied. A real-time simulation hardware platform is built using a real-time simulator
signal conditioning devices
and fault injection devices. Additionally
a detailed simulation model of the gas turbine and fuel system is developed based on multi-domain physical modeling methods
taking into account dynamic factors such as thermal soak effects
volume effects
and rotational inertia. A virtual simulation environment is constructed using a virtual controller for the control system
and logic modeling methods are used to create simulation models for auxiliary systems such as the lubrication and electrical systems. Signal interaction between the real-time simulation platform
virtual simulation platform
and control system hardware platform is achieved through hardwiring and communication methods
enabling integrated co-simulation operation. The results show that
the co-simulation method
combining real-time and virtual environments
not only provides a lightweight simulation environment for the gas turbine control software
encompassing all critical link elements
but also allows for functional and performance testing of the control logic. Moreover
it offers a validation environment for the control system hardware platform under various gas turbine operating conditions
enabling functional and performance testing of the hardware in multiple operational scenarios. This research can be applied for integrated validation of both software and hardware in gas turbine control systems
supporting the development of domestic gas turbine control systems and the retrofitting of control systems in existing units for domestic applications.
