This paper presents the mathematical modeling of the steam turbine unit with the fuzzy controller in an isolated operating condition, especially in nuclear power plants. The water level in the steam generator is one of the main causes for the shutdown of the reactor. This problem has been of immense concern during the past years as the steam generator and governor speed control is a highly nonlinear system showing inverse response dynamics. In the present research a simulink model of turbine with fuzzy controller is designed. The results are compared and analyzed with MRAC design technique to determine better methodological solution for the steam turbine speed control and achieved, time to the adaption effectiveness of 0.3 to 2.5% with and without GDB. Improved set point tracking and control with respect to turbine speed are demonstrated for the cases when governor dead-band is present and absent.
