Abstract

To construct a clean and efficient energy system, advanced solar thermal power generation technology is developed, i.e., a solar hybrid STIGT (Steam Injected Gas Turbine) system with near zero water supply. Such a system is conducive to the efficient use of solar energy and water resources, and to improvement of the performance of the overall system. Given that the strong correlation between multiple-input and multiple-output of the new system, the MDMC (Multivariable Dynamic Matrix Control) method is proposed as an alternative to a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller to meet requirements in achieving better control characteristics for a complex power system. First, based on MATLAB/Simulink, a dynamic model of the novel system is established. Then it is validated by both experimental and literature data, yielding an error no more than 5%. Subsequently, simulation results demonstrate that the overshoot of output power on MDMC is 1.2%, lower than the 3.4% observed with the PID controller. This improvement in stability, along with a reduction in settling time and peak time by over 50%, highlights the excellent potential of the MDMC in controlling overshoot and settling time in the novel system, while providing enhanced stability, rapidity, and accuracy in the regulation and control of distribution networks.
