A comparison of speed control of various turbines according to power plant types

발전방식별 여러 가지 터빈의 속도제어 비교

The steam gererator which produces thermal energy from coal or gas is a very important device in power plants, including the turbine driving synchronous generator which transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy. The turbine and the generator are driven by many kinds of media according to the types of which power plants are classified into steam turbine generator, gas turbine generator, water turbine generator and so on. This paper introduces the overspeed protection as well as the various speed and load control methods of some types of turbines.
