비선형성 해석에 의한 화력발전소 터어빈 제어계통에 관한 연구

This paper describes the improvement of thermal power plant turbine control system by analyzing nonlinear characteristics. The turbine control depends on the frequency variation and boiler condition. The nonlinearity of turbine control is the result of governor/valve properties, steam condition and boiler thermal unbalance. Nonlinear analysis is divided into two; main steam valve position - turbine output anal governor response. Of course, every analysis must be done on considering plant operating condition. In this paper, after analyzing turbine control nonlinearity by numerical method and actual results, the sensitive operating load which corresponds to frequency is proposed, on guarranteed boiler stability. This idea is implemented at Pyung Tack thermal power plant, and the practical results are showed.
