Steam turbine run-up systems involve monitoring critical turbine data to control starting, acceleration rates, holds, differential expansion and monitor vibration levels.

steam turbine can respond very quickly to system disturbances; hence, the response rate of the associated control system must be commensurately fast.

B&W can engineer, design and supply systems for controlling steam turbine run-up, complete with monitoring and displaying critical turbine data, using a CRT-based graphical operator interfaces. Alarming and logging of turbine data are standard components of this package.

The development costs for these types of systems can be extremely high for their design and testing. We have developed a very systematic approach and design strategy that result in a very economical system capable of controlling steam turbine run-up and control.
