    Gas Turbine Load Run Up Restrictions

    In our plant, we have two frame 5GT's (12 MW each) and one H25 (25 MW) Hitachi Gas turbines. The Hitachi Gas turbine has FSRLLBIAS factor kept as 3% to restrict the GT to take sudden load. It is limited to take 4.2 MW maximum only. Why is this factor necessary? According to them it is kept to...

    SRV Position in MarkV

    SRV position at valve full close position was found negative 4.2% and LVDT voltage was 0.625V. we did calibration after adjusting LVDT to 0.7 v and auto calibration showed 0.2 %. After one day operation, when the unit was stopped the valve position again shows negative 4.2%. Actual valve...
