Simulation of Turbine-Generator

This study involved mathematical modeling of turbine generator simulator (TGS) and speed governing system for Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR). All steam turbine system utilize governor controlled valves at the inlet to the turbine to control the steam flow. The previously developed FBR and Pressurized water reactors (PWR) mathematical models (by author) [1] were connected to the same Turbine-generator model and controlled by the same method of control. Then a comparison between the dynamic performance transient response of FBR and PWR controlled plants were considered in two cases, load demand perturbation and reactivity perturbations. The steam chest and inlet piping to the turbine cylinder introduce delays between valve movement and change in the steam flow. The results show that the model is capable of simulating the dynamic transient response for FBR in two cases, load demand perturbation and reactivity perturbations.
