TLDR
In this article, a gas turbine power plant is provided with an industrial gas turbine which drives a rotating brushless exciter generator coupled to a power system through a breaker, and one or more of the turbine-generator plants are operated by a hybrid digital computer control system during sequenced startup, synchronizing, load, and shutdown operations.Abstract:
A gas turbine power plant is provided with an industrial gas turbine which drives a rotating brushless exciter generator coupled to a power system through a breaker. One or more of the turbine-generator plants are operated by a hybrid digital computer control system during sequenced startup, synchronizing, load, and shutdown operations. The program system for the computer and external analog circuitry operate in a multiple gas turbine control loop arrangement. Logic macro instructions are employed in programming the computer for logic operations of the control system.read more

Gas turbine engine power plants
TL;DR: In this paper, a closed-cycle gas turbine engine power plant employing a nuclear reactor to heat its working fluid, helium, is provided with a bypass valve whereby a variable amount of the helium compressed by the compressor or compressors may be caused to bypass the nuclear reactor and flow directly to the inlet of the turbine or turbines.
