STUDY OF THE FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING FLUID CONTROLS TO TURBINE GENERATOR SETS.

Abstract

A study of the feasibility of using fluid amplifiers with no moving parts to control a steam turbine is reported. System analyses were made of all-digital, all-analog and hybrid analog/digital approaches. A working model of an all-analog control using vibrating reed speed references was built and used to control a small air turbine. Test results are presented and recommendations are given for system designs. (Author)
