Functional Description

IC3600EPSA1 is a Voltage Regulator Circuit Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark I & II control system.

Features

• Voltage Stabilization: Turbine control systems often involve various electrical and electronic components,
• such as sensors, actuators, and controllers. These components require a steady and consistent
• voltage supply to function accurately. The Voltage Regulator Circuit Board ensures that the voltage
• supplied to these components remains constant, regardless of fluctuations in the power source.
• Protection Against Voltage Spikes: Turbines can generate voltage spikes or surges during their operation,
• which could potentially harm sensitive electronic equipment. The Voltage Regulator Circuit Board acts
• as a safeguard by limiting and regulating the voltage to prevent damage to the connected devices.
• Voltage Reference: In some cases, precise voltage levels are necessary for specific control algorithms
• or feedback mechanisms in turbine control systems. The Voltage Regulator Circuit Board can provide a
• stable voltage reference for these purposes, ensuring accurate and reliable system performance.
• Improved System Efficiency: Maintaining a consistent voltage level enhances the overall efficiency of
• the turbine control system. It ensures that components operate within their optimal voltage range, reducing energy waste and minimizing the risk of overheating or electrical failures.

System Features

• The fuel control system is comprised of three primary loops, namely the startup, load turbine
• speed, and temperature loops. These loops are interconnected in a manner that establishes a
• minimum value gate, ensuring that the loop requiring the least amount of fuel takes precedence.
• In addition to the fuel control loops, two-shaft turbines feature a nozzle control loop responsible for positioning the nozzle angle to regulate high-pressure (HP) speed.
• The overall control system is meticulously designed to achieve the highest level of operational
• reliability. To enhance this reliability, redundant sensors are frequently employed to provide
• redundant feedback signals. This redundancy ensures that critical data is consistently available,
• even in the event of sensor failures. For instance, when the system is operating under speed control,
• the temperature control loop serves as a backup, reinforcing the system’s reliability and safety measures. This
• approach helps maintain consistent and stable performance, safeguarding against unforeseen contingencies and contributing to the system’s overall robustness.
