Dynamic Analysis of the West Tripoli Gas Turbine Power Plant Using MATLAB Simulation
Abstract
This research paper presents an analytical study of the performance of the West Tripoli Gas Power Plant, focusing on the dynamic behavior of the gas turbine. A simulation model was developed using MATLAB/Simulink to analyze the plant’s response under various operating conditions, including fault scenarios. Additionally, the study incorporates the analysis of nonlinear equations governing the synchronous machine, which play a crucial role in understanding its dynamic interactions within the power system. The obtained results provide insights into the impact of faults on plant performance, contributing to the development of improved operational and maintenance strategies to enhance efficiency and stability under different operational scenarios.
