Abstract

Steam flow and pressure conditions needed in a turbine to satisfy the speed and load demand of an electric power generating system are controlled by a programmed digital computer system during start-up, synchronization and operation. Manual backup control is provided for the computer control. An operator interface is provided with the computer through a panel and various communication devices.
