Abstract: Generalized predictive control (GPC), which has excellent control performance and robustness, is only applicable to the control object that can be expressed in the transfer function and is difficult to be directly applied to the hydraulic turbine regulation system (HTRS) that contain extremely complex nonlinearity. Therefore, considering the practical application of GPC in a hydropower station containing the Francis turbine, the double models, real-time feedback linearization module, and a nonlinear characteristic compensator are designed, and a generalized predictive control strategy combining these modules (GPC-DM-RFLM-NCC) is proposed. Firstly, the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is improved based on the chaotic mapping and Levy flight, an accurate nonlinear hydraulic turbine model is constructed based on the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and improved SSA (ISSA), and an HTRS simulation platform with nonlinear characteristics is built by combining modules such as water diversion system, servo system, and generator. Then, the irrationality of the commonly used linear hydraulic turbine models in HTRS dynamic process simulation is verified through quantitative calculation. Furthermore, by combining the real-time feedback linearization method and ISSA-based nonlinear characteristic compensator, the GPC-DM-RFLM-NCC is proposed. Finally, the HTRS simulation platform, which consists of GPC, double models, real-time feedback linearization module, and nonlinear characteristic compensator, is built, and the applicability, reliability, and excellent robustness of the proposed GPC-DM-RFLM-NCC are verified by the real data of a hydropower station.
