Steam Turbine Governor
Regulate STEAM FLOW into TURBINE such that at the desired
SPEED the OUTPUT TORQUE of the Turbine is exactly equal
the LOAD Torque of the Generator
(If torque is not equal the result is a change in speed – Newton’s Law)
In the event of sudden LOAD TORQUE loss, Quickly reduce
STEAM FLOW to maintain desired SPEED below Emergency
trip Speed
(excessive TURBINE OUTPUT TORQUE results in rapid speed increase)
In the event of a complete failure of speed control, emergency
over speed governor shall limit speed less than 120%
Steam Turbine Controls
Provide a means to prewarm
Provide a means to accelerate to speed and synchronize
Provide a means to control flow for MW generation
Provide a means to protect the equipment from adverse operating
conditions
Provide a means to test components to ensure operability
Turbine Control Hydraulics
Hydraulic Power Unit
Provide high pressure fluid to control the turbine valves
FAS (power for actuator positioning)
ETS (logic for tripping)

Purpose: To shut off steam flow to IP (LP)
turbine in an emergency.
ISV
Intercept ValvesIntercept Valves
Primary Purpose: To regulate steam flow to the
IP (LP) turbine in an overspeed where the control
valves have been closed and speed continues to
increase. Also, to blow down reheater and/or
steam piping prior to opening of control valves.

Purpose: Regulate reactor steam flow to the condenser,
when steam flow is not needed by the turbine
