Week 3 - Automation of Steam Turbines

Steam turbines are a popular source of clean power generation on ships. Steam is produced in the ship's boiler plant and directed to the turbine, which is connected to a generator to produce electricity. The turbine can also be connected directly to the propeller shaft to propel the ship. Reduction gears are required since the turbine spins at a very high RPM. The generator supplies power to slow speed motors connected to the propeller. The turbine is controlled by a governor which regulates steam flow to control speed during operation.

STEAM TURBINES

• a popular source of clean power generation


on ships as they don’t use any type of fuel
• used for power production in case of turbine
generators
• Steam is an easy, environmental friendly and
cheap form of fuel on ships
• For turbine generators, the steam comes from
the ship’s steam boiler plant
STEAM TURBINES
• steam turbine can be used as a direct
propulsion plant, in which, the turbine shaft is
connected to propeller shaft of the ship
• Since the speed will be in thousand rpm,
reduction gears and reduction systems are
used to get a drop in propeller rpm
• The propelling plant of the ship can be driven
by steam turbine through a slow speed motor
• The turbine generator directly supplies power
to these slow speed motors which are
connected to the propeller shaft of the ship

• Turbine Prime Mover


• A turbine will act as a prime mover
in turbo generator and is fitted on
the same shaft as of the alternator’s
rotor.
STEAM TURBINES

• Alternator
• used to convert the rotary motion of the
turbine to electrical energy and its output
is supplied to the main switch board of
the ship
STEAM TURBINES

• Steam Control Governor


• used to control the speed of the turbine
generator during starting, normal
operation and shutting down. It controls
the quantity of the steam inlet to the
turbine generator
STEAM TURBINES

• Steam Control Valve


• Different pressure control valves are fitted
in the steam line and are controlled using
governor for the flow of steam from the
ship’s boiler system
STEAM TURBINES

• Condensate pump
• The condensed steam, after the turbine is
further cooled down, is pumped back to
the cascade tank by condensate pump
STEAM TURBINES

• Vacuum pump for glands


• The steam turbine shaft is provided with
glands wherein steam is sprayed at a
pressure of 0.3~ 0.5 bar so that the
vacuum inside the turbine casing doesn’t
drop
STEAM TURBINES

• Condenser
• The heat exchanger acts as a condenser to
cool down and condense all the steam
from the turbine into water so that it can
be pumped back to the hot well
STEAM TURBINES

• AUTOMATIC ROLLOVER CONTROL


• capable of detecting zero-shaft speed and directing an output
signal to the valve position control for opening either ahead
and astern valves
• If rollover is detected, then the automatic rollover circuit is
reset to await the next zero-speed condition
• If rollover does not occur, the automatic rollover circuit is reset
to attempt a rollover in the opposite direction and a shaft
stopped alarm is activated
• A rollover trip circuit is also included as a protective device
when the automatic rollover circuit is in use
