Abstract :
FREQUENTLY, when automatic load control has been applied to a turbine-generator, regulating performance of the unit has been limited by the ability of the boiler to keep up with the load changes. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the improvement in boiler response realized by sending load-regulating intelligence to the boiler as well as to the turbine. The results of a computer simulation study of the problem are verified by a comparison with actual field performance.
