III. Key Features
3.1 High-Precision Turbine Speed & Load Closed-Loop Control
The adaptive PID algorithm automatically optimizes regulation parameters to realize stable unit startup, grid-connected frequency modulation and load operation, effectively suppressing steam pressure and load disturbance to ensure power grid frequency stability.
3.2 Compound Regulation for Extraction Turbines
Realize coordinated control of power generation load and heating extraction pressure, balance industrial heat demand and power generation efficiency, equipped with valve characteristic correction and anti-reverse flow interlock logic for cogeneration units.
3.3 Multi-Level Safety Interlock & Fault Tolerant Protection
Dual redundant speed monitoring, overspeed trip, actuator fault safety position lock and multiple protection functions prevent turbine runaway and equipment out-of-control accidents under various abnormal working conditions.
3.4 Local Visual Operation & Remote Intelligent O&M
Integrated HMI realizes on-site parameter setting and manual debugging; multi-bus remote access supports online configuration, trend analysis and fault traceability to meet the management requirements of unattended intelligent power plants.
3.5 Offline Simulation Debugging & Hierarchical Permission Security Management
Built-in turbine simulation function supports pre-commissioning debugging without on-site actuator connection; multi-level password authority prevents unauthorized parameter modification and program misoperation, reducing on-site commissioning safety risks.
IV. Working Principle
After power-on self-check of power supply, I/O, communication and display circuits, the controller loads pre-configured control parameters and enters standby mode. During unit startup, it drives the steam valve actuator according to the set acceleration rate, collects real-time speed signals through two independent sensors, and uses PID algorithm to close-loop correct valve output to stabilize turbine speed. After grid connection, it switches to load or extraction pressure control mode to realize multi-parameter coordinated regulation. Once faults such as overspeed and signal loss occur, the controller locks the valve at the safe position, triggers ETS emergency shutdown, latches fault information and uploads alarm data with timestamp for accident analysis.
