This Learning-Doc describes
turbine operation while assuming the use of a MHC control system. 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.
