FUNCTIONS OF THE GOVERNING SYSTEM

To contain the speed rise within acceptable limits if


the unit gets disconnected from load.
To regulate the steam control valve position and
hence load generated.
To control the initial run up and synchronization of
the machine
To assist in matching the power generated to that
demanded by responding to the network frequency
changes.
SALENT FEATURES OF 200 MW KWU
TURBINE GOVERNING SYSTEM
KWU 200 mw turbine is a throttle governed machine.
Two governors, electro-hydraulic and hydraulic are
incorporated. Both the governors are connected in parallel.
Only one governor can be selected at a time through the
process of hydraulic minimum selection.
The control valve opening depends on secondary oil pressure
and there is a definite relationship between the opening of
HP control valve and IP control valve.
Between 40 to 200 mw the turbine load is varied by changing
the HP control valve throttling alone.
HYDRAULIC GOVERNOR SALENT FEATURES
Hydraulic governor is having only one control loop
called speed controller.
HG consists of mechanical arrangement of spring and
bellow.
Machine speed is measured and indicated as primary
oil pressure.
Range of speed control is 2800-3210 rpm.
Speed regulation range (droop) of HG is 7% and can
not be changed while the machine is running.
HG acts as a back-up to the EHG.
HG can not be isolated mechanically like EHG and HG
is considered to be the primary governor of the KWU
turbine


ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC GOVERNOR SALENT FEATURES
EHG consists of three control loops for speed, load and
pressure.
EHG optimizes the turbine life by conservative operation
with the aid of TSE.
Faster response and precise frequency control.
Actual speed of the turbine is measured by using hall
probes
Range of speed control is wider (0-3210) rpm.
Speed regulation (Droop) can be changed from 2.5% to
8% in a step of 0.5% even when the machine runs on
load.The usual setting of droop in EHG is 5%.
EHG can be mechanically isolated by closing the
secondary oil line from the local.
