A new control method in startup progress for power turbine generators as waste heat recovery system using an overall shipboard system model

A new control method in startup progress for power turbine generators as waste heat recovery... Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a new control method for a power turbine generator (PTG) as a waste heat recovery system using an overall shipboard system model that ascertains startup characteristics. Design/methodology/approach – The PTG system is a waste heat recovery‐type generation system making use of exhaust gas from the main shipboard diesel engines. With the PTG systems, control during startup is not entirely clear. Startup characteristics from power turbine startup through synchronization to the system bus are ascertained using an overall shipboard system model.

As a result, in the startup process, so as to limit speed overshooting that is 0.83 p.u. at 100 percent output from main diesel engine as the severest condition. The synchronization to the system bus is attained, and highly satisfactory results are achieved.

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a new control method for a power turbine generator (PTG) as a waste heat recovery system using an overall shipboard system model that ascertains startup characteristics. Design/methodology/approach – The PTG system is a waste heat recovery‐type generation system making use of exhaust gas from the main shipboard diesel engines. With the PTG systems, control during startup is not entirely clear. Startup characteristics from power turbine startup through synchronization to the system bus are ascertained using an overall shipboard system model. Findings – A startup sequence control is clarified for a combination of gas valve operation and load bank. A prototype constructed on the basis of the simulation. As a result, in the startup process, so as to limit speed overshooting that is 0.83 p.u. at 100 percent output from main diesel engine as the severest condition. The synchronization to the system bus is attained, and highly satisfactory results are achieved. Originality/value – The PTG is an extremely effective system for fuel cost reduction in the face of rising fuel prices, and systems capable of providing several thousand kilowatts are being considered.
