MODELING AND CONTROL OF GAS CYCLE POWER PLANT OPERATION BY VARYING SPLIT LOAD FOR MULTIPLE GAS TURBINES

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for operating a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) (12). The method may include generating a power plant model (68) for operating the CCPP (12), determining whether at least two gas turbines (30A, 30B) in the power plant model (68) generate a power outpu...

More Information
Summary:Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for operating a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) (12). The method may include generating a power plant model (68) for operating the CCPP (12), determining whether at least two gas turbines (30A, 30B) in the power plant model (68) generate a power output, and modeling a fuel consumption of the CCPP (12) for a baseline split ratio (226) between the at least two gas turbines (30A, 30B). The method may also include determining whether the variant split ratio (226) meets a quality threshold for the CCPP (12), and adjusting the CCPP (12) to use the variant split ratio (226) in response to the variant split ratio (226) meeting the quality threshold.
