GE gas turbine frame 9e
Please find below an image of IGV HMI
In which the IGV reference temperature is 53 degree .. and because we are working in combined cycle the IGV angle cannot be below 57 degree .. this situation leeds to a decrease in gas turbine exhaust temperature and in some situation when exhaust temperature decreases too much it becomes lower than the steam temperature entering the STG and when this happens the unit trips
my question is why the IGV is capped at 57 degree and cannot go below this degree ? I asked this question to our control engineers and i didn't get a good answer .. all they said that its a global set point for all frame 9e units when working in combined cycle and it cannot be changed .. is there any solution for this problem ? Thank you
