    Week 3 - Automation of Steam Turbines

    Uploaded by

    Justin Caliguia
    Steam turbines are a popular source of clean power generation on ships. Steam is produced in the ship's boiler plant and directed to the turbine, which is connected to a generator to produce electricity. The turbine can also be connected directly to the propeller shaft to propel the ship. Reduction gears are required since the turbine spins at a very high RPM. The generator supplies power to slow speed motors connected to the propeller. The turbine is controlled by a governor which regulates steam flow to control speed during operation.

    STEAM TURBINES

    • a popular source of clean power generation


    on ships as they don’t use any type of fuel
    • used for power production in case of turbine
    generators
    • Steam is an easy, environmental friendly and
    cheap form of fuel on ships
    • For turbine generators, the steam comes from
    the ship’s steam boiler plant
    STEAM TURBINES
    • steam turbine can be used as a direct
    propulsion plant, in which, the turbine shaft is
    connected to propeller shaft of the ship
    • Since the speed will be in thousand rpm,
    reduction gears and reduction systems are
    used to get a drop in propeller rpm
    • The propelling plant of the ship can be driven
    by steam turbine through a slow speed motor
    • The turbine generator directly supplies power
    to these slow speed motors which are
    connected to the propeller shaft of the ship

    • Turbine Prime Mover


    • A turbine will act as a prime mover
    in turbo generator and is fitted on
    the same shaft as of the alternator’s
    rotor.
    STEAM TURBINES

    • Alternator
    • used to convert the rotary motion of the
    turbine to electrical energy and its output
    is supplied to the main switch board of
    the ship
    STEAM TURBINES

    • Steam Control Governor


    • used to control the speed of the turbine
    generator during starting, normal
    operation and shutting down. It controls
    the quantity of the steam inlet to the
    turbine generator
    STEAM TURBINES

    • Steam Control Valve


    • Different pressure control valves are fitted
    in the steam line and are controlled using
    governor for the flow of steam from the
    ship’s boiler system
    STEAM TURBINES

    • Condensate pump
    • The condensed steam, after the turbine is
    further cooled down, is pumped back to
    the cascade tank by condensate pump
    STEAM TURBINES

    • Vacuum pump for glands


    • The steam turbine shaft is provided with
    glands wherein steam is sprayed at a
    pressure of 0.3~ 0.5 bar so that the
    vacuum inside the turbine casing doesn’t
    drop
    STEAM TURBINES

    • Condenser
    • The heat exchanger acts as a condenser to
    cool down and condense all the steam
    from the turbine into water so that it can
    be pumped back to the hot well
    STEAM TURBINES

    • AUTOMATIC ROLLOVER CONTROL


    • capable of detecting zero-shaft speed and directing an output
    signal to the valve position control for opening either ahead
    and astern valves
    • If rollover is detected, then the automatic rollover circuit is
    reset to await the next zero-speed condition
    • If rollover does not occur, the automatic rollover circuit is reset
    to attempt a rollover in the opposite direction and a shaft
    stopped alarm is activated
    • A rollover trip circuit is also included as a protective device
    when the automatic rollover circuit is in use
