Biomass is identified as one of the major renewable energy sources for electrical power generation. Heavy duty gas turbine engines are preferred for clean and efficient power generation. An extensive literature survey reveals that the governor droop setting of the heavy duty gas turbines varies from 2 percentage to 10 percentage. But it needs to be optimized for analyzing the dynamic response o...

TO THE EDITOR: Reviewing evidence for and against a Central Governor that limits an individual’s maximal oxygen intake (2, 4), I am impressed that although this hypothesis was formulated some 11 years ago, it still lacks support outside the proponent’s laboratory. I note also that, perhaps because of an inappropriate test protocol, Noakes has consistently found difficulty in reaching first base...

Automatic Generation Control (AGC); Boiler dynamics; Generation Rate Constraint (GRC); Governor dead band; Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller; Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm Abstract This paper presents the design and performance analysis of Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm based Proportional–Integral (PI) and Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controllers for Aut...

Recently, research has been conducted in order to improve the transient behavior of adaptively-controlled uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems. In this paper, an adaptive control architecture is extended in order to achieve predictable transient performance in the presence of state constraints. The methodology at hand is based on a robust command governor framework, which is a dynamical system...
