(GE-LSTG) EH Turbine Operation
Course Overview
This Learning-Doc describes turbine operation
while assuming the use of an electronic control system (following the GE
recommended approach). Content beings with a discussion on stress
management, then continues with thermal stress and distortion for hot and cold
starts; life expenditure curves, full arc versus partial arc admission,
instrumentation, and use of the starting and loading instructions (prewarming,
acceleration rates, speed holds, and loading rates). Discussion continues
with sequencing the unit through a start up, shutdown and a discussion of
general precautions. Discussions include alarm response.
