CONTROL COMPUTER PROGRAMMING METHOD AND IMPROVED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING INDUSTRIAL GAS TURBINE APPARATUS AND GAS TURBINE ELECTRIC POWER PLANTS PREFERABLY WITH A DIGITAL COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A gas turbine power plant is provided with an industrial gas turbine which drives a rotating brushless exciter generator coupled to a power system through a breaker. One or more of the turbine-generator plants are operated by a hybrid digital computer control system during sequenced startup, synchronizing, load, and shutdown operations. The program system for the computer and external analog circuitry operate in a multiple gas turbine control loop arrangement. Logic macro instructions are employed in programming the computer for logic operations of the control system.
