INTRODUCTION
There are ever increasing demands on Reliability and Availability
of Power Generating sets coupled with the Requirements of Ease of
Maintenance and Flexibility in Operation.
To meet these demands, Governing Systems for Steam Turbines
have evolved from being Purely Mechanical Type to Electro-
hydraulic Type. Further developments have led to Introduction of
High-Pressure Electro-Hydraulic (EHA) Systems, which work on
pressures in the Range of 115-160 bar.
In EHA system, the Control & Trip Signals are provided by
Redundant Digital Electronic Controls with the Fastest Possible
Response & Extremely High Accuracy. Digital Controls also
Permits Easier Adjustment to any mode of Operation & Interfacing
with other Control Systems.
 ADVANTAGE
• Excellent Steady State and Transient Response.
• Compact Hydraulic Actuators and Simplified
Piping Layout.
• Maintenance Cost Minimized due to Elimination
of Large Number of Hydraulic Components.
• Excellent Reliability due to use of Proven
Electronic Devices.
• Reduced Cycle Time for Engineering,
Manufacturing and Commissioning.
 FEATURES
• Centralized High Pressure Control Oil Supply Unit.
• Centralized Redundant Electronic Processors.
• Electronic Turbine Protection System.
• Individual Electro Hydraulic Actuators for Each Stop Valve
and Control Valve.
• Standardized Servo Valves and Solenoid Valves.
• Combined Stop and Control Valve Body, Flanged To
Turbine.
• Electronic Control Loops for Speed, Frequency, Load, MS
Pressure, Valve Limiter and Valve Position Control.

 The Hydraulic Power Supply Unit supplies the Control Fluid (FRF) to the
Electro-Hydraulic Stop & Control Valve Actuators (EHA).

 For reasons of Redundancy and to Prolong the Service Life of the unit, Two
Axial Piston Pumps are provided for Fluid supply. In case of an on-line
Pump failure, Operation is Automatically switched over to the Stand By
Pump. The Pumps Function in Pressure-controlled Mode, i.e. they charge
the Accumulator System to 160 bar and then limit the displacement volume
so that the System Pressure of 160 bar is Maintained Constant.

 The Accumulator System, which is to supply the Fluid quantity required for
Control Movements of the Power Piston, comprises a group of Bladder-type
Accumulators with Isolating Valves and Safety Valves.
 HPSU Cond.
 The Supply unit is of compact design. It comprises a Tank made of stainless

steel with Fluid Level Monitoring Devices as well as Breather Filter.

Moreover, a drip tray is provided at the bottom, which is at the lowest point.

All Electric Devices are wired to a Terminal Strip in the Terminal Box.

 Separate Cooling-cum-Filtration Circuit is provided in order to maintain the

cleanliness of the System and to Ensure Proper Cooling. Separate

Circulation Pumps Supply Fluid to this circuit. The Fan of the Cooler is cut

in and out depending upon the Control Fluid Oil Temperature.

 A Sequential Sub Group Control (SGC) logic controls the Startup &

Shutdown of the CF Oil Pumps, Cooler Fan and Circulation Pump for

Cooling Circuit.
 EHA SYSTEM
It consists of following Elements:

A. Hydraulic Power Supply Unit (HPSU)

B. Stop/Control Actuator (Manifold)

C. Power Cylinder

D. Electrical Controller.

E. Interconnecting Piping between HPSU and Actuators.

 Stop Valve Actuator comprises of the Power Cylinder, a Control
Block & Limit Switches to Monitor the Opening and Closing of the
Actuator.

 The Valve is coupled to the Piston of the Power Cylinder, which is

Opposite side. The Closing Force is supplied to the Control Piston
with the help of Disc Springs housed inside the yoke. The Pressure
and Drain Fluid Lines (i.e. P & T) are connected to the HPSU.

 In the upstream side of the Pressure Line, a Filter is provided to

prevent Control Fluid contamination in the Pressure Line.
 STOP VALVE ACTUATORS
 Control unit (Manifold) mounted on the Power Cylinder, comprises
of the Pilot Valve, the Trip Solenoid Valves (TSVs) and two
Cartridge Valves. All these Control Elements are connected via a
control plate to the Power Cylinder through Internal Oil Ducts.

 To open the Stop Valves, the Pilot Valve is Energized with the help
of output Current Signal from the Controller. The Control Fluid/Oil
is fed to the Power Cylinder and pushes the Piston in the Opening
Direction against the Spring Force. De-Energizing the Pilot Valve
Closes the Valve. The Limit Switches monitor the opening &
closing of the Stop Valve Actuator.
CONTROL VALVE ACTUTATOR

 CONTROL VALVE ACTUTATOR
 Control Valve Actuator comprises of the Power Cylinder,
Control Unit & a Valve Position Transmitter.

 The control unit mounted on the Power Cylinder comprises

of the Servo-Valve, Trip Solenoid Valves and two Cartridge
Valves. A Filter is fitted upstream of the Pressure Line
connection to prevent contamination being taken in from the
lines. In addition, a Filter is also fitted to the Pilot Control of
the Servo-valve. All these Control Elements are connected
via a control plate to the Power Cylinder through Oil Ducts.
 CONTROL VALVE ACTUTATOR
 Servo-Valve is a high-grade continuously operating Directional Control Valve with

particularly good Steady State and Dynamic characteristics and High

Amplification. Depending upon the deviation between the Position Set Point and

Position Actual Value by the Position Transmitter, the Electrical Signal

proportional to this passes to Servo-Valve, which ultimately allow the Fluid flow

in the Operating Cylinder.

 In the Event of a Rapid Closure, Solenoid Valves are De-Energized and thus the

pressure over the Discs of the Cartridge Valve is reduced, causing these Valves to

be opened by the Pressure from the Operating Cylinder being applied beneath the

discs, thereby initiating the rapid closure of Valves. The Cartridge Valves operated

by the Solenoid Valves are opened with Minimum Travel Time and the Piston

Chamber is connected to the Drain.
