MICROPROCESSOR-BASED EXTRACTION TURBINE CONTROL

摘要

31 51,654 A microprocessor-based controller for an extraction type steam turbine-generator unit capable of selecting from a variety of predetermined control strategies and implementing corresponding valve position control loops by generating appropriate valve position control signals in accordance with operator-chosen setpoint signals and turbine operating level signals. The extraction mode of turbine operation is subdivided into a provided set of mutually exclusive extraction control loops, each of which can be placed in service in a bumpless fashion upon transition from any other extraction control loop in a predetermined sequence. Upon a return from the manual mode of turbine operation to the automatic mode, a particular extraction control loop is automatically placed in service without the need for operator intervention.
