Which device controls the speed of the turbine shaft?
The device which control the speed of Turbine is Governor. The Governing system sense the speed of shaft & regulate the Fuel/ Motive fluid flow to the Turbine to maintain the set shaft speed.
Governor used in power generating stations?
Steam turbines run with a speed governor which responds to changes in turbine rotational speed and operates on the steam admission valves. Thus if the network that the turbine generator feeds has a change in frequency, the turbine responds. If extra load comes onto the network, the frequency drops slightly, the generator slows and the turbine must follow (they are solidly locked together) so that the governor then opens the steam valves to try to keep the speed steady. The converse happens if the network suddenly loses load.
How working the governor during steam turbine operate?
governor senses the speed of spindle of engine and controls the mechanism of opening and closing of throttle valve
What is idle speed of turbine?
warm up speed of turbine,andthe minimum speed of turbine before loading is called idle speed.
How do you overspeed steam turbine?
Run the turbine up to about 75% speed and trip it manually. Reset the trip linkage. Restart the turbine. Adjust the governor up until the overspeed trip mechanism trips the stop valve. Watch the tachometer, the overspeed trip should activate within 10% over the maximum allowable speed of the turbine, if it doesn't trip it manually and repair the trip.
What is steam turbine overspeed tester?
Over speed test will be executed to ensure that the pump will tripped due to over speed. There is an electronic tripped set point by governor valve closing when the actual speed reach to maximum governor speed as well as Mechanical trip which will occur when the speed reach to electronic tripped and the valve not close due to malfunction of governor valve. Mechanical latch lever will slid to cut the HP steam. Electronic maximum governor speed will be less than mechanical speed set point.
What is steam turbine governor valve?
In large turbines, a valve controls steam flow to groups of nozzles. The number of open valves controls the number of nozzles in use according to the load. A bar-lift or cam arrangement operated by the governor opens and closes these valves in sequence. Such a device is a multi-port valve. Using nozzles at full steam pressure is more efficient than throttling the steam.
What is Runaway Speed of hydraulic Turbine and how it is calculated?
The runaway speed of a water turbine is its speed at full flow, and no shaft load. The turbine will be designed to survive the mechanical forces of this speed. The manufacturer will supply the runaway speed rating.
What is critical speed of turbine?
SPEED OF TURBINE IS DEPEND ON THE WATER PRESSUR(7BAR)
In a wind turbine - does increasing the blade length or decreasing the blade length increases the speed of the turbine?
Decreasing the blade length will increase the rotation speed, and thus the turbine speed ( for constant wind speed ).
Why is the runaway speed of a hydraulic turbine always kept twice its normal speed?
The runaway speed of a hydraulic turbine is the speed at which the turbine coupled to the generator runs at the maximum possible speed due to loss of load and this happens until the shut off valves completely closes the discharge from the penstock. the runaway speed of the turbine is determined by the turbine designer and is influenced by the maximum discharge of water from the penstock, the combined inertia of the turbine runner and the generator and the flywheel. this factor can vary from 1.5 up to 3 times the nominal speed of the turbine and is determined by the turbine designer considering all the load parameters.
What is the self-sustaining speed of gas turbine?
self sustaining speed is output of a turbine= input into compressor
