Fixed-Time Stability of the Hydraulic Turbine Governing System

Abstract EN

This paper studies the problem of fixed-time stability of hydraulic turbine governing system with the elastic water hammer nonlinear model.

To control and improve the quality of hydraulic turbine governing system, a new fixed-time control strategy is proposed, which can stabilize the water turbine governing system within a fixed time.

Compared with the finite-time control strategy where the convergence rate depends on the initial state, the settling time of the fixed-time control scheme can be adjusted to the required value regardless of the initial conditions.

Finally, we numerically show that the fixed-time control is more effective than and superior to the finite-time control.
