Description
Block Steam Turbine and Governor It implements a single-shaft multi-cylinder steam turbine unit, including a speed control system, a four-stage steam turbine and a shaft line with four rotors.

The speed control system consists of a P-controller, a speed relay and a servo that controls the shutter opening.

A steam turbine consists of four stages, each of which is modeled by a first-order transfer function. The first stage is a steam boiler, while the other three stages are either regenerative heaters or cross-piping. The boiler is not modeled, the pressure in the boiler is constant and amounts to 1 O.E. The coefficients (fractions) of the turbine torque They are used to distribute turbine power between different stages of the shaft pipeline.

The shaft line simulates a system of four masses, which is connected to the mass in the synchronous machine model, which gives a total of five masses. The mass of the machine is indicated as mass 1. The mass in the steam turbine and regulator block that is closest to the mass of the machine is mass 2, and the mass that is furthest from the machine is mass 5. The shaft line is characterized by mass inertia , damping coefficients and stiffness coefficients . If it is necessary to simulate a single-mass shaft line, the entire shaft line subsystem of four masses in the steam turbine and regulator block will be disconnected, and all the torque from the turbine will be summed up and applied to the machine mass.
