  • 3Titan 130 Gas Turbine

    BASIC GAS TURBINEThe Titan 130 gas turbine is a self-contained, com-pletely integrated prime mover of a single-shaft,axial-flow design. The exceptionally compact gasturbine has three basic sections: compressor, com-bustor, and turbine.

    The gas turbine assembly consists of: Air inlet collector with flexible

    flange connection 14-stage axial-flow compressor with

    variable inlet guide vanes and firstfive rows of stators

    Annular combustor with fuel injectors 3-stage turbine Exhaust diffuserThe Titan 130 gas turbine design embraces the

    fundamental engineering principles of long life and lowmaintenance. The Titan 130 gas turbine reflects adesign philosophy that combines the outstandingperformance traits of the gas turbine with the ruggedconstruction best suited for industrial use.

    One of the key design parameters of the Titan 130gas turbine is to operate at stress levels that providemaximum assurance of long life for the major rotatingand stationary components. Another prime designobjective is dependability. While many factors con-tribute to the dependability of the basic gas turbine,the selection of simplified controls and gas turbineaccessories is a major factor.

    The design concept of the Titan 130 gas turbine isunique. With few exceptions, contemporary machineshave been designed according to one of two philoso-phies: they are designed to aircraft standards withhighly sophisticated construction for lightweight, butrelatively short life; or they are designed with theruggedness of industrial steam turbines to ensure along service life.

    In keeping with Solar's philosophy to provide highperformance with long-term durability, the design andconstruction of the Titan 130 gas turbine lies betweenthe two philosophies and combines the advantages ofa lightweight structure with the design principlesnecessary for long life.

    Principles of OperationThe continuous power cycle and rotary motion of thesingle-shaft gas turbine provides several advantages

    over other types of engines. These advantages in-clude low weight, relatively vibration-free operation,fewer moving parts and fewer wear points, and higherquality ac power.

    Air is drawn into the air inlet of the gas turbine andis compressed by the multi-stage axial-flowcompressor. The compressed air is directed into thecombustion chamber at a steady flow. Fuel is injectedinto the pressurized air within the annular combustionchamber. During the gas turbine start cycle, this fuel/air mixture is ignited and continuous burning is main-tained as long as there is adequate flow of pressurizedair and fuel. The hot, pressurized gas from the com-bustion chamber expands through and drives theturbine section of the engine, dropping in pressure andtemperature as it exits the turbine. Thus, the energyof the fuel is transformed into the kinetic rotationalpower of the turbine output shaft.

    The turbine shaft is mechanically attached to boththe compressor and turbine sections of the gas turbineto form a solid or single shaft configuration. Thisfeature enhances speed stability and responseunder constant and varying load conditions a highlydesirable feature in power generation applicationsrequiring precise frequency control.

    For stoichiometric combustion, the gas turbinerequires approximately one-fourth of the total air itcompresses. The excess air is used to cool thecombustion chamber and mixes with the combustionproducts to reduce the gas temperature at the inlet tothe first turbine stage. The cooling air also keepssurface metal temperatures in the combustionchamber and turbine sections at required designlevels to ensure long component lives.

    VOLTAGE REGULATORThe voltage regulator is a completely static,silicon-controlled rectifier type, using a Zener refer-ence, and arranged for single-phase sensing. Allrectifiers are composed of hermetically sealed silicon.Regulators include droop-type cross-current compen-sation for parallel operation. The solid-state regulatorhas a 10% voltage adjustment range controlled by amotorized potentiometer. This potentiometer ismounted on the generator control panel.

    EXCITATION SYSTEMThe generator excitation system consists of fourbasic components:

    Permanent magnet generator to providepower to the voltage regulator

    Voltage regulator Rotating armature-type ac exciter generator Full-wave rectifier with diodes mounted

    on a rotating heat sinkThe exciter armature is mounted on the main

    generator rotor and generates an ac voltage as itrevolves in the magnetic flux produced by the station-ary field. The stationary field is wound on salient polessupported by the stator core or frame. The permanentmagnet generator consists of permanent magnets onthe generator rotor and a stationary armature, alsosupported by the generator frame.

    The exciter armature ac output power is rectified todc power by the rotating rectifier assembly and, inturn, the dc power is applied to the main generatorrotating field windings. The complete exciter isenclosed and protected by a removable cover.

    When the rotor operates at synchronous speed, thepermanent magnet generator provides power to thevoltage regulator. The voltage regulator provides theappropriate exciter field current to control the exciterarmature output, which is rectified to provide dc powerto the main generator rotating field winding.

    The excitation system is designed to have suffi-cient capacity to provide up to 150% rated current forone minute without damage.

    During initial turbine/generator acceleration, thevoltage regulator power supply is switched off. Atabout 80% speed, the permanent magnet generatoroutput is connected to the voltage regulator andvoltage buildup begins. The voltage regulator then

    Typical Generator, Exciter, and Regulator System

    provides controlled exciter field current at a level tomaintain generator terminal voltage at a predeter-mined value established by the voltage rheostatposition. A potential transformer (usually suppliedwith the switchgear) provides a voltage level signal tothe voltage regulator. By sensing the generator termi-nal voltage and controlling the power to the brushlessexciter and, thus, the main generator field, the voltageregulator automatically acts to maintain the generatorterminal voltage at a constant level at all loadconditions.

    Since the permanent magnet generator outputpower is independent of the main generator linevoltage and current levels, there is no need foradditional auxiliary equipment to provide power to thevoltage regulator during transient conditions. Thepermanent magnet generator provides sufficientgenerator terminal voltage during conditions of highgenerator line current from motor starting or otheroverload conditions and to allow for selective trippingduring a short-circuit condition.

    A cross-current compensating circuit is included toaccommodate reactive load sharing between multiplegas turbines in parallel. Instrumentation transformersare usually supplied with the switchgear.

    Control Systems

    TURBOTRONIC CONTROLSThe Turbotronic control system is a highly inte-grated programmable logic controller (PLC) basedcontrol system with an onskid digital control panel.The PLC system includes the microprocessor, re-mote communication modules, chassis-based andflex input/output modules, line synchronization mod-ule, and power supplies. The system also includes avoltage regulator, synch check relay, and backupshutdown system. The primary gas turbine controlfunctions, including speed, temperature and load, areaccomplished by controlling the fuel input and the gasturbine inlet variable guide vanes.

    The main control system inputs consist of the gasturbine speed transducer (magnetic pickup), thespeed input module, power turbine rotor inlet tempera-ture (TRIT) thermocouples, a millivolt-input module,current and potential transformer, and an ac inputmodule. The PLC executes its control software andproduces control outputs using an analog outputmodule. In addition, discrete inputs are sensed andoutputs generated to control other functions.

    The control system maintains generator frequencyand/or generator load distribution (when operating in

    parallel) by controlling gas turbine fuel flow bymeans of a fuel actuator connected to the fuel controlvalve. The system includes provisions for selection ofisochronous or speed droop modes of operation.Speed set-point adjustment is by means of speedincrease and speed decrease push buttons on thedigital control panel.

    Load sharing between two or more generator setsin parallel is accomplished via the load sensingcircuitry and software. Each generators load is con-tinuously measured by the PLC and compared to othergas turbines on the same bus via a load sharing circuitamong all gas turbine controls. This control loopprovides equal real load sharing among the gasturbines.

    T5 is the turbine temperature measured at thethird-stage turbine rotor inlet and biased by air inlettemperature. When turbine temperature reaches ratedlevels, fuel flow is then controlled based on tempera-ture rather than speed or load inputs. In the case of agenerator operating in parallel with an infinite bus(utility) or with a number of dissimilar non-load sharinggenerators, the temperature control will limit the loadcarrying contribution of the gas turbine to its ratedfull-load capacity at the current ambient temperatureconditions. The actual load level can be set by thespeed set point in droop control or, optionally, with kWcontrol. If the gas turbine or gas turbines are operatingin an island mode, then speed is the primary controlfunction and the gas turbine will deliver the load, or itsshare of the load, up to its capacity.

    Control characteristics are as follows: Isochronous or droop operation: 0 to 4% range Steady-state control: 0.5% Transient speed deviation: 5%

    CONTROL OPERATIONThe microprocessor-based system provides forautomatic starting, acceleration to operating speed,sequencing control, gas turbine and generator moni-toring during operation, and normal and malfunctionshutdown.

    During operation, the control system, by means ofautomatic warning and shutdown devices, protectsthe gas turbine and generator from possible damageresulting from hazards such as turbine overspeed,high gas turbine temperature, low lubricating oil pres-sure, and excessive oil temperature.

    The PLC performs proportional control, sequencingand protection functions, as well as detection andannunciation of abnormal operating conditions. ThePLC also controls start-up, operation, and shutdownsequences. Control for these functions comes fromsignals the microprocessor receives from solid-statedevices, control switches, speed, pressure andtemperature transmitters, and solid-state vibrationmonitors. These components provide the PLC withthe data necessary to control and maintain gas turbinespeed and temperature at safe levels.

    In the event of an abnormal condition or malfunc-tion, the control system indicates the nature of themalfunction. When an alarm or shutdown is displayedon the digital control panel or on the optional remotevideo display terminal (VDT), a sequence of appropri-ate operations begins in response to the detectedcondition. In the event of a control system failure, thebackup relay system provides for a safe and orderlyshutdown. The backup relays operate the lubricatingoil system and other subsystems, as required, toavoid gas turbine and generator damage duringshutdown.

    CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTATIONIn keeping with the total package concept, themicroprocessor-based control system includes allcircuitry and indicating instruments required for gasturbine operation. (Please note that some itemsnormally provided with the generator circuit breaker,including potential transformers and current trans-formers, are included in Solar's scope of supply, ifSolar is providing the generator breaker.) The controlsystem sequences operating systems during start-ing, running, and shutdown to provide necessaryprotection during all phases of operation and tomonitor parameters during operation. These sequencesare described in the following.Start Sequence. The generator set can be started atthe on-frame digital control panel or with the optionalremote VDT. Once initiated, the start sequence iscontrolled automatically by the PLC. The following isa summary of the major events during the startsequence:

    1. Appropriate start and control systems are acti-vated after all permissive signals have beenchecked, the pre/post lubricating oil pump isstarted and, on verification of prelubricationpressure, the starter system is activated andbegins turbine rotation. Cogeneration applica-tions will include a purge of the heat recoverysystem.

    2. At 15% speed plus 10 seconds (about 21%speed) plus the time required to purge the heatrecovery system, if required, the ignition systemand fuel valves are operated to admit and ignitefuel in the combustor. The heat of combustionand starter power accelerate the turbine.

    3. At 177EC (350EF) T5 temperature, the ignitionsystem is deactivated and accelerationcontinues.

    4. At approximately 60% gas producer speed, thestart system is deactivated, the start counterregisters a gas turbine start, the hour meterbegins to log gas turbine operating hours, andthe compressor variable vane control systemactivates and begins moving the vanes towardthe maximum open position.

    5. At 81% speed, the gas turbine bleed valvecloses and the voltage regulator is activated,initiating generator voltage buildup.

    6. At 90% speed, generator output voltage andstarting time are verified and the ready-to-loadtimer is activated.

    7. At 90% speed plus 10 seconds, loading circuitsare activated, enabling circuit breaker closure,and the ready-to-load indicator is illuminated.

    8. At 100% speed, the governor system assumescontrol of turbine speed and automaticallysynchronizes the generator with the bus.

    Running Condition. While operating, the turbinespeed/load is automatically controlled by the speed,load and temperature governing and control system.The generator voltage is automatically controlled bythe voltage regulator. The speed and voltage setpoints may be manually adjusted as required. Inaddition to controlling speed and voltage levels, thecontrol system continuously monitors and displaysgas turbine generator set operating parameters andinitiates alarms and/or automatic shutdown on detec-tion of an upset condition.Stop Sequence. Unit shutdown is initiated eithermanually by the Stop button or by the EmergencyStop button or automatically by the malfunction alarmsystem. A normal or cooldown stop is initiated locallyat the digital control panel or remotely via the optionalserial link interface, while an emergency stop isnormally initiated at the local onskid panel or byhard-wired remote command. The malfunction alarmsystem stores and indicates alarms in sequentialorder should more than one malfunction shutdownalarm occur coincidentally.

  • 12

    The following stop sequence is a summary of themajor events occurring during a cooldown stop:

    1. Control system signals generator output breakerto open. Gas turbine continues to run withoutload for five minutes to cool the gas turbine tono-load operating temperatures.

    2. At approximately five minutes after initiation ofcooldown stop, run circuits are deactivated toshut off fuel supply and de-energize generatorvoltage regulator.

    3. The compressor variable vane control systemmoves the vanes to the minimum open positionto unload the gas turbine compressor duringdeceleration.

    4. At approximately 80% speed, the gas turbinebleed valve opens.

    5. At 66% speed, the hour meter is deactivated.6. At approximately 60 seconds after speed de-

    creases below 15% speed, the restart delaycircuit resets the control system to enable gasturbine start.

    When gas turbine shutdown is initiated by theEmergency Stop button or by a malfunction, the initialfive-minute cooldown period is deleted and subse-quent start-up is locked out until the Reset button ispressed and the malfunction condition is cleared.

    CONTROL SYSTEM COMPONENTSThe microprocessor-based control system is pro-vided onskid in a weatherproof enclosure and includesall controls necessary to sequence operation duringstart and shutdown and to monitor and protect thepackage while in operation. All components within theenclosure are factory interconnected and are wired toterminal strips for customer connection or to othercomponents. Labels and labeled customer connec-tions are in English, but can be provided in otherlanguages.T5 Temperature Limiter. Limits the real load (kWe) tothe maximum rating on the unit when operating inparallel with a large power source, such as an electricutility or other infinite bus system. The system limitsthe kWe load by limiting T5 temperature to a predeter-mined factory-set level. When the unit is operating inthe isochronous mode and is in parallel with the bus,with no further operator action, it will automaticallytake on load or drop load as required. When thepredetermined temperature level is reached, the lim-iter will take control of the control valve actuator andprevent any further increase in temperature and load.The unit will continue to operate at this full site-rated

    load at the current ambient temperature. With changesin ambient temperature (T1), the limiter will adjust theload to maintain a constant T5 temperature, thusautomatically maintaining the gas turbine at fullsite-rated load at all times.

    If the application requires operation at a specificconstant load level, rather than full site-rated capac-ity, then the optional kWe controller should be used.

    The T5 temperature limiter system is a part of thegas turbine temperature control and indication systemand has no operational adjustments or controlswitches.

    Digital Control Panel. A prominent feature of themicroprocessor-based control system is a digitalcontrol panel. Located on the package skid, this panelincludes pressure indicators and switches foroperation of the gas turbine cranking system formaintenance purposes. Various gas turbine fluid sys-tem parameters are indicated, depending on type offuel system used and other fluid system options. Thetemperature and pressure data displayed on the digitalcontrol panel can be in SI, Metric or English units. Inaddition to a continuously available display of first-outmalfunctions, the panel will display the following data:

    System summary, normal running data System status Digital display of gas turbine and

    generator parameters Alarms and shutdownsThe gas turbine controls are located on the digital

    control panel and include all instrumentation, controlswitches, and operation lights necessary for operationof the gas turbine. The gas turbine controls include thefollowing as illustrated:Automatic Synchronizer. An auto synchronizer isprovided to automatically synchronize the unit to thebus. Automatic synchronization is incorporated intothe start cycle and can also be initiated by push-buttoncontrol on the digital control panel or by receipt of anappropriate remote signal.

    During synchronization, voltage, frequency andphase angle are controlled directly by the PLC. Asynch check relay is also provided.Motorized Voltage Adjust System. The motorizedvoltage adjust system is mounted in the generatorcontrol panel and includes a raise/lower switch con-trolling a motorized potentiometer for voltage control.This allows for an additional raise/lower switch to beintroduced into the system to control voltage from aremote location.

    KW Controller. (Optional) Required on all installationsoperating in parallel with a large power source, such asan electric utility or other infinite bus system. The kWcontroller provides additional operational flexibility byallowing the real power level of the unit to be set at anydesired load within the capacity of the gas turbine,while the turbine rotor inlet

    temperature control limitsthe kW load level to the gas turbines full site-ratedload only. The kW load level select switch andadjustment is located on the digital control panel.

    The kW controller can be configured for import orexport control. The import controller monitors the loadcarried by the utility source and adjusts the gasturbine generator load to maintain a fixed amount ofpower on the utility at all times. This is for applicationswhere it is desired to prevent any power from beingexported to the utility. The export controller monitorsthe load carried by the gas turbine generator set. Thismay be used to maintain a constant load on thegenerator set or it may be used as a process control-ler. The on/off and set switches are located on thedigital control panel.KVAR/Power Factor Controller. (Optional) Requiredon all applications operating in parallel with a large

  • 16

    power source, such as an electric utility or otherinfinite bus system. The kVAR /power factor controllermaintains a constant reactive load (kVAR) or constantpower factor (pf) on the gas turbine while operating inparallel with a large power source. The controlleroutput signal is applied directly to the voltage regula-tor adjust circuit to maintain a constant reactive loador power factor with changes in the infinite bus voltagelevel. The system incorporates a set-point adjustrheostat to set the desired kVAR or pf, a selectorswitch to choose kVAR or pf control mode, and aswitch to turn the controller on and off. The switchesand level adjust rheostat are located on the generatorcontrol panel and are controlled by the gas turbinePLC.Generator Sequencing. (Optional) In power genera-tion systems, completely automatic operation is oftendesirable. For standby applications, it is desirable tohave the unit automatically start and the load transferto the standby gas turbine when a commercial powerfailure occurs. For continuous duty applications, it isdesirable to automatically shed load and/or restoreload should one of the generator sets have a malfunc-tion shutdown.

    Solar offers several automatic starting and loadingsystems for both standby and continuous dutyapplications:

    Automatic Start/Automatic Synchronization/Automatic Restore, Multiple Gas Turbines.Provides the logic to control up to six gasturbines on loss of commercial power. The gasturbine will automatically start, close on thedead bus, and, if desired, shut down whencommercial power is restored. Controls for thissystem are located on the digital control panel.

    Standby Start to a Hot Bus. The standby startto a hot bus system provides the logic to startthe standby gas turbine in the event of a failureof one gas turbine in a continuous duty applica-tion. Signals of the number of gas turbines online are provided for load control purposes. Alsoprovided are controls to allow automatic parallel-ing of a gas turbine whose start is manuallyinitiated from this panel.

    CONTROL SYSTEM ACCESSORIES

    Control and Post Lube Pump Battery/25-Ampere Charger System (Optional)This battery/charger system supplies the necessary24-Vdc power for the operation of the gas turbinecontrol system and 120-Vdc power for the post lubebackup pump.

    Start System

    DIRECT-DRIVE AC START SYSTEMThe direct-drive ac (DAC) start system consists of twosquirrel cage, three-phase, ac induction motors with asolid-state variable frequency drive (VFD). The startermotors are mounted on the gas turbine reductiongearbox with a sprag-type overrunning clutch.

    When the start sequence is initiated, the packageprelube cycle begins. Upon completion of the prelubecycle and once given a signal from the gas turbinecontrol system, the VFD provides low frequency acvoltage to the motors. After the gas turbine begins tospin, the VFD ramps up the frequency and voltage tothe motors to accelerate the gas turbine to purgespeed. The VFD controls the motors at a constantspeed for the duration of the purge cycle. At the endof the purge cycle, the gas turbine control commandsthe VFD to increase the frequency of the motors toaccelerate the gas turbine for the ignition cycle. Oncestarter dropout speed is reached, the gas turbinecontinues to accelerate and overruns the startermotors through the sprag clutch.

    The VFD cabinet is shipped separately for installa-tion in an appropriate nonhazardous location andprovides for direct across-the-line starting control ofthe motors. The VFD requires a supply of three-phase,380-to-575 volt, 48-to-62 Hz ac power. The typicalmaximum symmetrical fault current capacity of theVFD is 25,000 amps. Feeder circuits exceeding thislimit require the use of an isolation transformer, linereactor or other means of adding similar impedance tolimit fault current. Electric disconnects and overcurrent

    protection devices are normally provided by others.The power cable run from the VFD to the startermotors should not exceed 183 m (600 ft).

    Fuel Systems

    The Titan 130 PG generator set can be configured tooperate using a gas or liquid fuel system. All fuel mustconform to Solar's specification ES 9-98.

    NATURAL GAS FUEL SYSTEMThe fuel system includes all necessary componentsfor controlling fuel pressure, scheduling fuel flowduring start-up, and modulating fuel flow during opera-tion. The system also provides temperature toppingcontrol of fuel flow during start-up, acceleration andoperation. The system requires a natural gas supplythat conforms to Solars specification ES 9-98. Thegas should have a lower heating value (LHV) of 31 496to 39 370 kJ/nm3 (800 to 1000 Btu/scf) and should be

    free of sulfur, contaminants, entrained water, andliquid hydrocarbons.

    Typical components included with the natural gasfuel system are:

    Maximum allowable gas fuel temperature is93EC (200EF). Minimum allowable gas fueltemperature is -29EC (-20EF).

    Gas fuel should conform to Solar's specificationES 9-98, "Fuel, Air, and Water (or Steam) forSolar Gas Turbine Engines."

    Gas fuel must be free of sulfur, contaminants,entrained water, and liquid hydrocarbons.

    Component OperationGas fuel supply pressure required at the gas turbineskid must meet minimum pressure requirementsor the low pressure switch disables gas turbineoperation.

    The primary fuel shutoff valve is a pneumaticallyoperated, spring-closed ball valve. Pilot gas pressureis admitted and exhausted from the operator via anintegral solenoid valve. Removal of pilot gas or elec-tric power will allow the springs to close the mainvalve. When energized, this solenoid valve admitspilot pressure to the valve opening operator andexhaust pressure from the closing operator, causingthe main spool to shift to the open position. Whende-energized, this solenoid valve vents the openingoperator and supplies pilot pressure in the closingdirection to close the shutoff valve.

    During the gas turbine start sequence, prior toignition, the primary fuel shutoff valve is operatedto verify proper operation. This fuel valve checksequence is verified by the valve-check pressuretransmitter.

    Solar has developed an electric fuel control valvethat replaces the pressure regulator/gas loader, throttlevalve, and associated electrohydraulic actuator. Thissystem has improved light-off reliability and enhancedperformance flexibility to meet the demanding require-ments of SoLoNOx gas turbine configurations and hasallowed easier adjustments of fuel flow schedules forsteady-state and transient conditions.

    The electrically controlled valve is composed of abalanced poppet valve actuated by a proportionalsolenoid-operated device mounted directly on thevalve. All components, including the electronics, arepackaged in a compact, lightweight housing con-structed of either aluminum or stainless steel. Internalmetering components are stainless steel. The valveassembly can operate in ambient temperatures andgas temperatures of 93EC (200EF). Control and actua-tion power required is 120 Vdc. The valve position iscontrolled by a 4-to-20 mA signal and the valveprovides a 4-to-20 mA feedback signal via an inte-grated linear variable differential transformer (LVDT).A differential pressure transmitter is included to mea-sure the differential pressure across the injectors inorder to properly schedule fuel flow during gas turbinelight-off and acceleration.

    The fuel is distributed to the combustor via a fuelgas manifold and fuel injectors.LIQUID FUEL SYSTEMThe liquid fuel system operates on light distillatefuels, including Grades 1 and 2 fuel oil, Grades 1 and2 diesel, and kerosene (JP-5, JP-8 or commercialgrade). Specific physical and chemical requirementsare provided in Solars specification ES 9-98.

    This system requires an external air source toprovide fuel atomization for up to three minutes duringthe start cycle. During normal operation, the atomiz-ing air source is provided internally from the gasturbine compressor discharge.

    The liquid fuel system includes: 22-kW (30-hp) motor-driven, gear-type,

    main (high pressure) fuel pump Low fuel boost pressure alarm/

    hutdown switch Simplex, 25-micron high pressure fuel filter Fuel control actuator Liquid fuel control valves (fuel metering,

    suction of 6.1-m (20-ft), includes an ac motor-drivenpump and a 75-micron strainer.

    The duplex low pressure fuel filters provide filtra-tion to 10 microns and incorporate a manual transfervalve for switching the filters. The filters may betransferred during gas turbine operation. High differen-tial pressure across the filter is sensed by a pressureswitch and indicated as an alarm by the gas turbinecontrol system.

    Fuel is directed from the low pressure filters to theac motor-driven high pressure fuel pump, which sup-plies approximately 4140-to-5520 kPa gauge (600-to-800 psig) fuel pressure to the fuel control valve. Asimplex, 25-micron high pressure fuel filter is locatedbetween the high pressure pump discharge and thefuel control valve to protect the fuel control from pumpwear products.

    The main fuel control valve schedules fuel flowduring light-off, acceleration and during constant speedoperation. The control valve incorporates the fuelmetering valve, acceleration limiter, differential pres-sure valve, ultimate relief valve, compressor dis-charge pressure (Pcd) bleed solenoid, andservoactuator linkage. The constant speed controlportion meters fuel to the gas turbine according todemand established by Pcd to the acceleration limiterand by the speed control governor linkage position.Fuel not required as metered flow to the gas turbine isreturned to the high pressure fuel pump inlet by thedifferential pressure valve.

    As an acceleration control, fuel is scheduled ac-cording to Pcd sensed by the acceleration limiter.

    The differential pressure valve maintains a con-stant differential pressure across the metering valveto maintain fuel flow as a function of metering valveposition with changing high pressure pump dischargepressure. The ultimate relief valve opens to relievesystem pressure in the event of fuel pump operationagainst a closed discharge path. The pressurizingvalve, located downstream of the fuel control valve,provides an appropriate back pressure on the fuelcontrol valve to maintain stable operation.

    The fuel control actuator is an electrohydraulicdevice that receives a control signal from the gasturbine electronic governor and, by use of hydraulicpower, operates the control linkage to the fuel controlvalve. The actuator oil pressure is supplied from thegas turbine lube oil system.

    The system incorporates four electrically operatedsolenoid valves. The main shutoff valve opens atignition during gas turbine start-up and closes uponinitiation of a gas turbine shutdown signal. The bypassvalve opens on gas turbine shutdown to bypass fuelthrough the high pressure pump during gas turbinecoast down. The torch valve opens at ignition (15%speed plus 10 seconds) to admit fuel to the torchignitor assembly and closes when combustion isverified by a 177EC (350EF) turbine T5 temperature.The purge valve opens on shutdown initiation to purgefuel from the fuel injectors and fuel manifolding to theonskid fuel purge tank.

    Fuel is directed from the main fuel shutoff valve toa manifold that distributes the fuel through individualsupply lines to the fuel injectors.ALTERNATE FUELSThe standard gas and liquid fuel systems are de-signed to operate on fuels that meet the requirementsof Solar's specification ES 9-98. Most commerciallyavailable natural gas fuel and light distillate fuelscomply with ES 9-98. Solar's technical staff canassist in evaluating specific fuel characteristics.

    The fuel systems can also be modified to accom-modate a range of alternate fuels that do not complywith ES 9-98. Gas fuels with heating values somewhatless than natural gas can be used with specialized fuelsystems. Solar's gas turbines can operate on "heavier"gas fuels, including propane, butane, natural gas(NGL), and liquid petroleum gas (LPG), which arecompressed and burned as a liquid. Extremely lightdistillate fuels, including naphtha and gasoline, can beused with minor modifications to the standard liquidfuel system. Solar gas turbines cannot operate onheavy liquid fuels, including No. 3 diesel fuel andheavier, bunker fuel, No. 6 oil, and residual oil.

    SOLONOx COMBUSTIONSoLoNOx is a dry low emission combustion systemthat uses special fuel injectors, each with main andpilot fuel ports. The ratio of fuel injected through theseports is controlled during starting and operation tomaintain a stable combustor flame while minimizingthe formation of NOx and CO emissions. Combustionairflows, which affect the emissions levels, are alsoregulated within allowable limits using variable guidevanes and a bleed valve on the axial air compressor.
