Abstract

Turbine fast valving is one way to preserve the stability of power systems in case of emergency excess power. The determination of optimal setting parameters of turbine fast valving is a rather complicated task. It is connected with the necessity to determine the parameters of an electrical signal, which controls by means of an amplifier the position of control valves and, accordingly, the value of the output turbine power. The amplitude, duration, as well as the form of the electric signal influence the speed and depth of turbine unloading; they also determine the character of transient process development, including in the post-emergency mode. The proposed approach differs from the currently used one in that the optimal electrical signal shape is selected by multiple detailed modelling in power system simulators, rather than one of three to five initial settings determined at the turbine manufacturer without taking into account the response of the power system. Thus, when using complete and reliable information regarding the processes in the turbine and generator equipment, its control systems, and the power system as a whole, it becomes possible to form the necessary shape of an electrical signal in the event of losing stability in a place of interest in the power system due to the occurrence of an emergency excess of generated active power of various values. The developed approach was tested, and the results of the study were verified by the field data.
