Turbine water induction protection systems are designed to keep water out of the turbine and prevent damage. Steam turbine damage from water induction is a costly economic, safety, and reliability ...

The push for greater efficiency and capacity often drives steam turbine upgrades and the development of new turbine features. Steam turbines used at coal and nuclear power plants require regular ...

To address speed control, load control, and overspeed protection. Specifically excluded from consideration are extraction turbines, automated start up/shutdown systems, turbine supervisory ...

Steam turbines installed at early combined-cycle (CC) plants were relatively simple machines based on existing industrial turbine designs. Typically, they were rated 80 MW or less and would spin ...

Industrial gas turbine (IGT) manufacturers and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) personnel are continually seeking new ways to improve the performance and longevity of critical components.

Steam gets scary in many ways at very high temperatures, and a Rankine cycle isn't all that efficient (although can be (and generally is) improved with "reheat" cycles ... which are needed in the ...
