Abstract
Control of system frequency usually has been considered an electrical problem; however, fluctuations affect the turbine in many respects. This article outlines the reasons for the present interest in the subject of fluctuating load, points out the effect of these fluctuations on the operating conditions in the turbine, and describes design features which permit this method of operation.
