From:
Turbine Overspeed Trip Modernization
Requirements and Implementation Guidance
1013461: Final Report, November 2006
EPRI Project Manager: R. Torok

The associated losses on a large steam turbine,


combined with the value of the lost power
generation have been estimated at
well over $100 million.
Clearly, reducing the likelihood of an uncontrolled
and catastrophic overspeed event is essential.

As a result the turbine spun faster and faster. The


rotational speed increased too quickly for anything to be
done before the enormous machine burst with a
tremendous explosion, with debris scattering in all
directions. The explosion ripped off several steel plates in
the roof of the turbine hall. Pieces of shrapnel made
hundreds of holes in the remainder of the 30-metre-high
roof.

The mechanical failure of a flue gas turbine expander


and subsequent fire originating in an 86,000 barrels-per-
day FCC unit occurred at this 220,000 barrels-per-day
refinery. As a result of this incident, the flue gas turbine
expander on the FCC regenerator was completely
destroyed while adjacent product pipe racks, a FCC
heater, a vacuum unit heater, and process equipment on
multilevel decks were significantly damaged.

Reportedly, control valve problems had developed with the


position controller for the flue gas turbine expander, which
generated electric power for the public utility grid using flue gas
exhaust from the FCC regenerator. Refinery personnel were
conducting on-line maintenance when the turbine expander went
into an overspeed condition and subsequently failed. Metal
fragments from the turbine expander failure damaged nearby
process equipment and product pipe racks, including the
puncture of several product lines. The hydrocarbon liquid released
from the product lines was subsequently ignited, resulting in a
fire.

Fire- Kawasaki, Japan
$41,000,000

Firefighters from the refinery fire brigade and local fire


department worked for approximately eight hours using foam and
cooling water hose streams to extinguish the fire. Additionally, the
extensive use of remotely operated isolation valves by refinery
personnel greatly limited the amount of hydrocarbon liquid
released during the firefighting effort.
The refinery was shut down for approximately three months while
the repairs to the damaged heaters, pipe racks, and process
equipment were completed. Additionally, the destroyed flue gas
turbine expander was not replaced. The business interruption loss
associated with this incident is estimated at ~$40,000,000.

DIESEL
ENGINES
Internal combustion engines, whether fueled by
gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas, or other fuels,
can act as ignition sources.

Examples include:
I. Stationary engines such as compressors, generators and pumps.
II. Mobile equipment or transports such as vans, trucks, locomotives,
forklifts, cranes, well servicing equipment, drilling rigs, excavators,
portable generators and welding trucks.
III. Contractor vehicles and motorized equipment.
IV. Emergency response vehicles such as fire engines and ambulances.
V. Vehicle-mounted engines on vacuum trucks, tanker trucks and waste
haulers.
VI. Small portable engines such as mowers, blowers, generators,
compressors, welders and pumps. This includes hand tools unrelated
to a process, such as chain saws, brought in by contractors.

Ver. 2015-10-16 Ryszard.Nowicki@ge.com : 08:30 Subject: ODS / OPS Page: 51


Internal combustion engines require a specific fuelto-
air ratio to work properly

Air enters the engine through the intake that leads to


the combustion chambers (cylinders).
If employers allow internal combustion engines in
areas where flammable vapors or gases exist, then the
vapors and gases can enter the cylinders of the engine
along with the air.
Additional flammable material in the cylinders provides
an external fuel source and increases the fuel-to-air
ratio in the engine.
Changes in the fuel-to-air ratio create ignition hazards.

Basically, the more power you need, the bigger the engine has to be. Early diesel
engines were less than 100 horse power (hp) but today the US is building 6000 hp
locomotives. For a UK locomotive of 3,300 hp (Class 58), each cylinder will produce
about 200 hp, and a modern engine can double this if the engine is turbocharged.

FLY BALL CENTRIFUGAL GOVERNOR
The figure shows probably the
oldest form of engine
governor, namely the flyball
centrifugal type, used
originally on steam and gas
engines. It consists of a pair of
heavy balls held by a link
mechanism which is driven by
the engine. As the engine
rotates, the balls are thrown
outwards by centrifugal force
against the normal restoring
force of gravity. There is no
amplifier in this case. As the
When the engine is at rest there is no centrifugal force, and the balls hang in balls move outwards they

steam is admitted the engine starts with a full fuel charge and accelerates. The
suitable linkage, operates to
balls move outwards, raising the sleeve, and gradually close the valve until the
steam or fuel charge just balances the engine load, at which point the speed reduce the opening of the
settles down to a steady value, as shown in Figure (b). The level at which it steam or fuel inlet, shown here
settles depends on the set-point. This can be adjusted in various ways: in for simplicity as a butterfly
Figure it is by adjusting the link between the governor and fuel valve. valve.
Lengthening it opens the valve wider and so raises the set speed; shortening it
has the opposite effect.
Ver. 2015-10-16 Ryszard.Nowicki@ge.com : 08:31 Subject: ODS / OPS Page: 83
FLY BALL CENTRIFUGAL GOVERNOR
The steady-running condition
is shown in Figure (a), which is
a repeat of Figure (b) from the
previous slide.
Once the speed has settled at
its set value, any variations of
speed without change of load
are closely controlled. An
increase causes the balls to
move outwards, so closing the
valve a little and reducing fuel
to check the increase (see
Figure (b)). When the speed
has returned to its set value
the valve is once again in its
former position. A similar
effect will occur, but in the
opposite direction, for any
momentary drop in speed.

Ver. 2015-10-16 Ryszard.Nowicki@ge.com : 08:31 Subject: ODS / OPS Page: 84


Sources of error in a mechanical governor
() EFFECT OF SPEED AND LOAD CHANGES
a) backlash, friction and wear in the flyball and connecting
linkages {The error is likely to become worse as wear takes place with the increased
life and usage of the engine }

b) time-lag in the flyball mechanism (i.e. inertia time to take up


new position)
c) time-lag in the amplifier, if fitted
d) firing stroke delay (diesel engines only) {The error occurs only with
diesel engines and is due to the next cylinder not necessarily being ready to fire at the
moment the governor calls for increased (or decreased) speed.}

e) non-linearity of the fuel rack or valve


f) twist in the governor drive {The error may occur if the drive from the engine
shaft to the governor is not solid - for example if the drive is taken from the gearbox. This
may produce lag or even oscillations.}

g) inertia of the rotating parts


Ver. 2015-10-16 Ryszard.Nowicki@ge.com : 08:31 Subject: ODS / OPS Page: 85
MODERN MECHANICAL GOVERNORS

The flyball system as presented before is now seldom used.


Instead there are rotating weights on the governor shaft,
controlled by springs instead of by gravity. This system,
however, is still a centrifugal one, and the displacement of the
weights still actuates the fuel valve or rack.
Instead of the direct linkage (as presented before), most modern
mechanical governors use a hydraulic linkage, which is more
positive in its action and less liable to backlash and wear. Oil
pressure is obtained from a pump driven by the engine or from
an auxiliary motor-driven pump, and it fails safe by causing the
fuel valve to close if oil pressure fails. The hydraulic system acts
as the amplifier between the speed sensor and the fuel valve. It
operates the valve by a hydraulic actuator, which converts the
governor signal into a hydraulic thrust.

ELECTRONIC
GOVERNORS
ELECTRONIC GOVERNORS

Because of the unavoidable errors, including the large


inherent droop, of mechanical governors an entirely new
type was developed and is now in general use throughout
all platforms and most shore installations. This is the
electronic governor, and those which are found on most
platforms are of the Woodward, Speedtronic or Rustronic
type. It must be emphasised, however, that the governing
principles set out in block form in MECHANICAL GOVERNOR
apply just as much to an electronic governor as to a
mechanical one.

Ver. 2015-10-16 Ryszard.Nowicki@ge.com : 08:31 Subject: ODS / OPS Page: 88


ELECTRONIC GOVERNORS
In an electronic governor all linkages, except the final
actuator stage, are electrical and therefore not subject to
backlash or wear. Consequently a much greater accuracy
can be achieved, and a droop of % (as compared with 4%
for a mechanical governor) is not unusual. Moreover,
because of lack of wear, an electronic governor is very
consistent in its performance.
One essential difference of detail is that speed is sensed by
an inductor-type tacho-generator consisting of an iron
toothed wheel rotating past fixed coils. The varying flux as
the teeth pass the coils induces in them an emf at a
frequency directly proportional to the speed. The other main
difference is that the former mechanical or hydraulic linkage
is replaced by simple electrical connections; these have no
backlash and are not subject to friction or wear.
Ver. 2015-10-16 Ryszard.Nowicki@ge.com : 08:31 Subject: ODS / OPS Page: 89
ELECTRONIC GOVERNORS

The varying-frequency signal is processed and amplified by


electronic circuits, and also mixed with certain other signals,
to give an electrical output signal representative of the fuel
input required. It is converted to a hydraulic signal through a
pilot solenoid valve in an electrohydraulic actuator. This is, in
effect, a further amplifying stage, and the actuator drives the
liquid fuel or fuel-gas valve. The hydraulic oil pressure is
derived from an engine-driven pump when the set is running,
and from an auxiliary pump when it is at rest or running
slowly.

method steam is allowed to pass through a restricted passage
thereby reducing its pressure across the governing valve. The
flow rate is controlled using a partially opened steam control
valve. The reduction in pressure leads to a throttling process in
which the enthalpy of steam remains constant.

STEAM TURBINE

Overspeed protection should be a combination of the


following:
Proper functioning of mechanical or electronic overspeed trip
mechanisms and system
Positive closing of the main steam and control valves
Positive closing of the reheat inlet valves
Proper functioning of the extraction system non-return valves
Proper functioning of the reverse power trip on the generator.

GAS TURBINES

We have GE gas turbines Frame 9E controlled by mark IV


control system. The over-speed protection is provided by
3 speed pick-ups and mechanical over speed bolt. In the
last period, this bolt is causing many problems and
tripping for the units. We are requested by our managers
to bypass (cancel) this bolt and provide a new set of speed
sensors as a redundant protection.

GAS TURBINES

Gas turbine generator sets, in particular those with aero-


derivative gas turbines, are sensitive to electrical fault
events that can damage the gas turbine. In many cases,
mechanical protection, e.g. using a torque limiting
coupling, is not possible because of overspeeding of the
turbine after release of the coupling. A new method for
the protection of gas turbines against overtorques and
overspeed has been developed. The overspeed limitation
is achieved through the incorporation of a hydrodynamic
coupling in the drive train; this acts as a brake and
reduces overspeeding. When a gas turbine is
disconnected mechanically from the workload and inertia
of the generator, its speed will increase momentarily. The

GENERATOR SPEED CONTROL
All a.c. generators must run as nearly as possible at constant
speed in order that the frequency of the generators output
voltage is held within close limits to the nominal, which on most
platforms is 60Hz and on most shore establishments 50Hz. This
applies to both gas-turbine and diesel-driven sets. The device
which achieves this is called a governor
