Development of Rowen's Model for Dry-Low Emission Gas Turbine Dynamic Simulation using Scilab

Rowen's Model is an established physical model which successfully represents the dynamic behavior of gas turbines. In recent years, this model has been widely developed using MATLAB/Simulink software. However, MATLAB is costly due to commercial license, becoming a constraint for those who want to simulate and evaluate the model with free and legal access. Hence, open-source software such as Scilab/XCos can be used to perform the simulation. Therefore, in this paper, Rowen's Model is developed and analyzed using Scilab/XCos. The model is implemented to characterize the operation of DryLow Emission (DLE) gas turbine. The simulation study shows that Rowen's model can be effectively developed using Scilab/Xcos and has been verified with MATLAB software. © 2022 IEEE.
