Steam Turbine Control Concepts
Why take this course?
This self-paced course explains the control concepts used in steam turbines and how they ensure safe and efficient operation. You’ll explore what a governor is, methods of governing, response to changes in load or speed, the governing system, steam turbine controllers, and steam generator level control. Key topics include the role of the governor, throttle vs nozzle governing, what the governing system does when turbine load drops, components of the governing system, and principles and operating modes of steam turbine controllers. Through clear demonstrations and structured lessons, this course gives engineers and technicians a solid understanding of turbine control systems and operational principles.
