  • Methods and systems for providing real-time comparison with an alternate control strategy for a turbine
    Patent number: 7822512
    Abstract: A method for controlling and modeling a turbine is provided. The method may include modeling the turbine by a primary adaptive turbine model that includes at least one primary operating parameter and modeling the turbine by an alternate adaptive turbine model that includes at least one alternate operating parameter. The method may also include determining a first output value from the primary adaptive turbine model that corresponds at least in part to the operation of the turbine based on a primary control strategy and adjusting the alternate operating parameter or parameters based on an alternate control strategy and based at least in part on the first output value. The method may further include determining comparison data based at least in part on a comparison between the primary control strategy and the alternate control strategy.
