Testing system based on labview for startup performance of micro gas turbine

Abstract As we all know that gas turbines are playing an increasingly important role in distributed energy systems. The startup performance of a gas turbine is the core indicator for evaluating its technological advancement and applicability. In order to obtain the startup performance of the micro gas turbine, a testing system for the micro gas turbine based on LabVIEW is designed. This system has the functions of moving control, data acquisition and display, data storage, report generation, etc. It has the characteristics of simple structure, strong universality, convenience, and low cost. Through the test of the micro turbine startup stage, it can meet the startup performance test of the micro gas turbine; in a word, the reliability of the system is verified.
