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.
