When the pressure drops, the control will open the inlet
valve further until the new flow matches the flow demand
and pressure returns to normal. However, the increase in
steam flow also increases the speed or power output of
the turbine.

The digital control does not care what the input variables
are. The 4 – 20 mA input to the cascade controller can be
steam pressure such as inlet pressure or back pressure
or it can be a compressor parameter such as suction
pressure or discharge pressure.

Decoupling:
The back pressure turbine has a control which
modulates the flow in the back pressure header while
speed or power is not controlled. The SAE turbine is used
in applications where both extraction flow and speed or
power needs to be controlled simultaneously.
