Abstract

This article presents the results of developing a mathematical model of the Capstone C30 micro-GTU in SimInTech, on the basis of which a digital twin was developed. It allows obtaining the values of the supplied electric power, turbine rotor speed, fuel pressure after the booster compressor, gas temperature after the turbine and exhaust gas temperature from sensors installed on the micro-GTU. These values are compared with the parameters calculated in the mathematical model and displayed to the operator for further analysis. The paper presents the structure of the digital twin of the Capstone C30 micro-GTU.
