| dc.description.abstract | The changes encountered in moving from mechanical to electrical control of mechanical drive steam turbines are reviewed with regard to both operation and performance. This paper examines past practices in control system design and application philosophies, and also presents new control concepts for consideration. Areas are pointed out where benefits to the user can be realized by taking advantage of the sophistication and versatility of state of the art electronic components to perform control functions formerly accomplished by mechanical means. Both speed control and speed-extraction pressure control systems are evaluated and analyzed. Examples of the effects of changes in load and speed are given. Also, recommendations are given to ease the conversion to electrical control. These include servo actuator characteristics needed for a reliable and stable operating system. | en |
