Abstract :
THE DEVELOPMENT of the combustion gas turbine as a new type of prime mover for power generation has required the parallel development of suitable controls. The control being used at present on General Electric gas turbines provides for semiautomatic starting and stopping of the unit for speed and load control and for protection of the unit under abnormal conditions.
