Speed and surge control for a lower order centrifugal compressor model

A model of a variable speed centrifugal compression system is presented. The model is based on the work of Greitzer (1976), but the compressor characteristic is developed by modelling the losses in the compressor. For surge control, a close coupled valve is employed. This valve is placed immediately...
