Acceleration Control - FSRACC
Acceleration control software
compares the present value of Speed signal with the value at the last
sample time.
Difference between these two numbers is a measure of acceleration.
When actual acceleration is greater acceleration reference,
FSRACC is reduced, which reduces FSR, thus reduction in
fuel supply to turbine.
During startup-acceleration reference is a function of turbine
speed.
Acceleration control takes over after Warm-up state.

Temperature Control Bias Program
This Program selects the minimum of the three set points, CPD bias, FSR bias, or isothermal
setpoint for the final exhaust temperature control reference.
During normal operation with Gas or light Distillate fuels, this selection results in a CPD bias control
with an isothermal limit.
CPD bias setpoint is compared with the FSR bias setpoint by the program and an alarm occurs
when the CPD setpoint exceeds the FSR bias setpoint.
During normal operation with Heavy fuels, FSR bias setpoint will be selected to minimize the
turbine nozzle plugging on firing temperature.
FSR bias setpoint is compared with CPD bias setpoint and an alarm occurs when the FSR bias
setpoint exceeds the CPD bias setpoint.
A ramp function is provided in the program to limit the rate of setpoint change. Both Max
(TTKRXR1) and Min (TTKRXR2) change in ramp rates (slopes) are programmed.Typical rate
change limit is 1.5deg F.
The output of this ramp function is the Exhaust temp.control setpoint which is stored in the
computer memory.
Temperature Reference Select Program
Exhaust temperature control function selects control set points to
allow GT operation at firing temperatures.
Temperature-control-select program determines the operational
level for control set points based on Digital input information
representing temperature control requirements.
Three digital input signals are decoded to select one set of
constants which defines the control set points necessary to meet
the demand.

Typical digital signals are Digital Temperature Temperature

Control system checks the permissive L4 and L20FLX to allow FSR1
for closing the Bypass valve (closing bypass valve sends fuel

These signals control the opening and closing of the fuel oil stop valve.
Fuel pump clutch solenoid (20CF) is energised to drive the pump when
the Stop valve opens.

Mixed fuel Operation
Gas Turbine can be operated on both GAS & LIQ in any
proportion when operator choses to be on MIX mode.
Limits of fuel mixture are required to ensure proper combustion,
gas fuel distribution and gas nozzle flow velocities.
% of gas flow must be increased as load is decreased to maintain
the minimum pressure ratio across the fuel nozzle.
