Introduction

The SVST from Rockwell Automation is a packaged solution to control/regulate


the speed of a steam turbine (speed governor.) The SVST is designed to control
single-valve or single-valve rack steam turbines.

Application Overview Steam turbines are used in a variety of applications from large scale power
generation in the megawatt range to small utility installations under a hundred
horsepower in the oil and gas industry. Regardless of the size of the turbine, a
governor is required to regulate the turbines speed to control the load.
Additionally, a steam turbine cannot be taken from zero speed to operation speed
in a single step. The SVST governor manages the start-up sequence to achieve the
turbines normal operational speed and provides speed regulation during
operation using internal capacity control or external speed setpoints. The SVST
is designed to be flexible and easy to configure for virtually any application.

Figure 1 shows the basic control schematic for a steam turbine.

Mechanical Installation Electrostatic Precautions


The electronic components of these systems are susceptible to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Be sure to take the following precautions:
Always wear an anti-static wrist strap (or equivalent) when handling any
electrostatic sensitive components.
All electrostatic sensitive components are packaged in anti-static bags. Do
not remove these components from these bags until you are ready to install
them.
Controller modules are especially sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Pay
special attention not to touch the module connectors or any exposed
printed circuit board components.
Store all shipping materials, especially anti-static bags, to re-use if it
becomes necessary to transport or ship any system components.

Installation Chapter 2

Unpack Components

All items must be removed from their packaging and checked against the packing
list. Verify that all items are correct and contact Rockwell Automation if any
discrepancies are found. Before unpacking any items, the packaging must be
inspected for damage that may have occurred during shipment.

If any packaging is damaged, the package identifying marks (such as box number
or crate number) must be noted and communicated back to Rockwell
Automation. The package must be stored in a suitable storage area in the
condition it was received. Rockwell Automation will contact the shipping agent
who may request to inspect the damage. The package must not be opened
without the express written permission of Rockwell Automation.

Inspection

Visually inspect the cabinets for mechanical damage. Check the paintwork
for scratches and abrasions.

Verify that the cabinet door opens and closes and that all latches operate
smoothly.

Verify cable assemblies to make sure they were not damaged during
shipment. All wireducts should be fitted with covers and all cable
assemblies should be appropriately dressed with cable ties and/or spiral
wrap.

Environmental/Location Requirements

To meet environmental requirements when installing the equipment, it should be


installed in a room with an ambient temperature of -1050 C with a relative
humidity of 0...95% RH non-condensing, and the room must be provided with
adequate lighting.

Tools

These tools and materials are required for panel installation:


Level
Pencil or other marker
Drill

There are two ground connections that must be connected before power is
applied to the system.
AC SAFETY GROUND is for all exposed metal surfaces of cabinets,
racks, chassis ground connections, etc. All individual ground wiring
interconnections are to be a minimum of 16 AWG copper wire, green
insulation.
INSTRUMENT GROUND is for all DC analog/digital signal cable
shield wires. Reference ground wiring interconnections are to be a
minimum of 18 AWG copper wire, green insulation with yellow tracer.

ATTENTION: Good ground connections must be verified before any work can be
carried out by any Rockwell Automation or client personnel. Failure to comply
can cause serious injury.

Check for a good electrical AC SAFETY GROUND connection. The electrical


ground connection must be matched to the breakers or fuses used to protect the
feeds to the system. Check the integrity of the connection and the gauge of the
wire used, and verify that it is sufficient to allow the breakers or fuses to trip.

Human Machine Interface (HMI)

The HMI provides a single interface for configuration, operation, maintenance,


and troubleshooting the SVST system. This chapter describes these general
features and how to access them. Further details are found later in this manual.

Activate the HMI The operator interface for the SVST requires entry of a unique Activation Key
ID to activate the HMI for use. Until the HMI has been successfully activated,
the HMI will only display the following dialog box. In most cases, the HMI will
be activated by the factory, however if this is not the case, follow the procedure
below.

Figure 8 - HMI Activation Dialog Box

1. Contact an authorized Rockwell Automation agent for the Activation Key


ID. You will need to provide the System Serial Number and Product ID

SVST Configuration

This chapter includes the start-up sequence and parameters to configure the
SVST governor. It also describes how to upload and download parameters.

Configure the SVST The governor has various settings that can be adjusted, allowing it to be used in
different steam turbine applications. You can configure the unit by using either of
these methods:
The PanelView terminal covered in this chapter
The SVST PC Configuration Tool covered in AppendixA PC
Configuration Tool

The SVST time diagram below is presented to help understand the relationship
between speed and control mode during the start-up sequence.

Figure 39 - Steam Turbine (SVST) Time Diagram for Start-up Sequencing

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 41


Chapter 5 SVST Configuration

Start-up Sequence 1. Open Loop Acceleration


Description
Purpose The purpose of the open loop mode is to break the turbines shaft inertia and when a
reasonable control speed is reached, a closed-loop mode operation begins.
Process 1. After entering acceleration, the governors valve output ramps up to open loop initial
target.
2. When the minimum measurable speed is reached, the governor switches from open loop
to closed loop mode.

2. Closed-Loop Acceleration
Description
Process 1. After the turbine reaches the minimum control speed, the governors closed-loop
acceleration phase is initiated.
2. In closed-loop phase, the speed setpoint ramps up to the next idle speed or, if no idle
speeds were configured, to operation speed.

3. Idle Speeds
Description
Number of Idle Speeds The SVST can handle up to two idle speeds.
Configure Idle speeds and acceleration rates are configurable for each of the two thermal conditions
(cold or not cold.)
Reach Idle Speed When reaching an idle speed, the setpoint is held for the configured turbine soak period(1).
(1) Soak period is a term that describes the amount of time at which the speed is held to allow the machines casing to thermally
expand and catch up to the rotor assembly.

4. Critical Speed Avoidance


Description
Configure The SVST manages the turbine acceleration through two critical speed bands. Acceleration
rates within each critical speed band are configurable.
Critical Stall Detection With the critical stall detection feature, when the speed is within the critical speed band, the
governor speed setpoint steps up to a speed above the high limit of the critical band using
an acceleration rate that allows the speed to be reached before the critical stall time expires.
Critical Stall Timer If the critical stall timer expires, the governor speed setpoint is taken below the low limit of
the critical band and the governor switches to hold (idle) state. A critical stall alarm is
generated.

5. Speed Control
Description
Conditions Turbine speed is between Minimum and Maximum Governor.
Run State After the acceleration phase, the governor switches to the run state where the speed can be
controlled within the minimum and maximum governor limits.
Raise and Lower The SVST uses the Raise and Lower commands to increase or decrease the speed setpoint.
Commands A speed setpoint is also available using the HMI.

42 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


SVST Configuration Chapter 5

6. Overspeed Test
ATTENTION: To avoid an overspeed condition and possible personal injury or
equipment damage, equip the turbine with an external shutdown device that
provides an overspeed protection system according to American Petroleum
Institute standards 612 or 670.

Description
Purpose The overspeed mode allows increasing the speed reference above the maximum governor
limit for testing external overspeed protection devices.
Process 1. Set the speed reference to the max governor speed.
2. When the speed reaches the max governor speed, press the overspeed test button
(maintained function).
3. The governor will switch to the overspeed test mode.
4. Take the speed reference up to the max control speed using the Raise speed button.
Alarm and Trip If the turbine speed goes above the external trip device and no trip is detected, an alarm
Conditions is generated.
If the speed goes above max control speed, the governor trips.
When the overspeed test is not enabled, and speed goes above the external trip device
setpoint, the turbine trips.

Note: Refer to Chapter 6 Operation for more details about the SVST operation.

Configuration Parameters To access the configuration parameters within the HMI, on the main tool bar
press the Maintenance icon.
Note: Tables for configuration parameters use these measurements and
information:
Speeds are in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Acceleration rates are in rpm/sec.
Position measurements are in percent.
Increment or decrement rates are in percent per second.
All load values are in percent and rates are in percent per second.
N.A. means Not Applicable.
TBD means To be Determined, meaning that the application is so specific
that no suggestions are available.

Details:
For parameter 10, set this value to a number greater than 0, for example,
5% if your valve has a tight shutoff and flow of steam begins to build when
the opening is more than 5%.
For parameter 11, set this value to 1 when the close position limit switch is
connected to the SVST. If the system detects that the stop valve is closed, it
wont allow the sequence to get ready for startup. If this value is set to 0,
this permissive would be bypassed.

Generator

If the SVST is used to drive a generator, this configuration page allows the
generator load characteristics to be configured. Table 17 shows the configuration
parameters.

Table 17 - Generator Control Settings Configuration Parameters


Parameter Description Range Example 1 Example 2
1 Generator Synchronous Speed 015000 3600 N.A.
2 Generator Initial load 0100 3 N.A.
3 Generator Droop in % 0100 5 N.A.
4 Generator increment load rate 0100 2 N.A.
5 Generator decrement load rate 0100 2 N.A.
6 Generator initial load rate 0100 1 N.A.
9 Generator maximum load 0100 80 N.A.
10 Speed SP increment rate for synch 0100 0.5 N.A.
11 Speed SP decrement rate for synch 0100 0.5 N.A.

When the turbine is running and the speed is within 40 rpm of the
synchronization speed (for example, 3600 rpm), the governor speed setpoint in
rpm/second is limited to the values in parameter 10 and 11 in Table 17. This
helps prevent hunting and overshoot during the synchronization process.

Trip Settings

Use the Trip Settings page to configure trip settings and other miscellaneous
values. Table 18 shows the configuration parameters.

Chapter 5 SVST Configuration

Details:

If there is a difference between the speed setpoint and the actual turbine
speed greater than the value of parameter 3, a timer will start and the
turbine will trip, with a loss of speed control indication if the elapsed time
exceeds the value in parameter 4.

Set parameter 5 to 1 for generator applications; otherwise set this


parameter to 0.

For parameter 6, when doing a closed loop deceleration (normal stop),


when speed approaches minimum control speed within this deadband, the
turbine will trip.

The time allowed in seconds to perform an overspeed test is contained in


Parameter 7. Refer to Chapter 6 Operation for more details.

When the calculated thermal condition is considered hot and parameter 8


is set to 1, the turbine can be started after a trip when it is still coasting
down. The governor internal permissives are bypassed.

example, if controlling pressure in psig and this value is set to 10, the
controller will limit the setpoint to 10 psig/sec.)
Parameter 8 contains the deadband for controller output, in other words,
the controller stops calculating the output when the error is within the
defined deadband.
Parameter 11 defines the controller action.
When set to 1, it is direct action, defined as an increasing PV increases
the Output.
When set to 0, it is reverse action, defined as a decreasing PV increases
the Output.
Parameter 12 places the PID to setpoint track the PV when the loop is in
manual.
Parameter 13 defines independent PID terms when set to 0.
Parameter 14 defines the proportional term based on error when set to 1.
When set to 0, the proportional term is based on PV.

available for the example application.

In addition to the thermal condition data, the following information is available:


Number of Magnetic Pickups is 2.
The pickups are mounted on a gear that rotates two times faster than the
turbine shaft.
The number of teeth seen by the pickups is 30.
The governor control valve is linear.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 57


Chapter 5 SVST Configuration

No critical speeds are defined.


Generator load control with a 5% droop is required.
The governor can control the turbine speed using the control valve around
300 rpm.
In order to reach minimum control speed, the control valve should be at a
minimum of 15%.
The stop valve has limit switches.

Sometimes the data available for a given application cant be directly entered into
the configuration parameter table. In these cases, a good level of understanding of
the machine that is going to be controlled is required.

Step 1: Convert the acceleration rates from rpm/minute to rpm/second by


dividing each value by 60, which yields 4.1666 and 8.3333.

Step 2: Identify the minimum and maximum governor, using the 5% speed
regulation data. It is desirable to control the speed between 3420 rpm and 3780
rpm, with 5% of the operation speed being at 180 rpm.

Step 3: Identify the overspeed trip setting, given that the external overspeed trip
device should trip at 110% of the operation speed. Therefore 3600 x 1.1 = 3960
rpm. This also means that the maximum control speed needs to be set above
3960 rpm to allow the overspeed test to be performed, therefore maximum
control speed is 4000 rpm.

Finally, the generator control data doesnt provide the initial load for the
generator or load rates. For this example, we will use 5% as the initial load, with
1% per second as the initial load rate and 2% per second as the regular load/
unload rate.

Note: The above example is for generator control where the grid frequency is 60
Hz and the generator number of poles is 2, synchronous speed = 120 f /p, where f
is in units of Hz and p is the number of poles. For countries where the grid
frequency is 50 Hz, if the generator is a 2-poles machine, then synchronous speed
= 120 x 50 / 2, which is 3000 rpm.

IMPORTANT Although the data presented here represent an actual application, it is used for
example purposes only. You must gather and use the data specific to your
application.

Check the suggested settings for this example in Configuration Parameters on


page 43.

In addition to the thermal condition data, the following information is available:


Number of Magnetic Pickups is 3.
Two failed pickups should trip the turbine.
The pickups are mounted directly on the turbine shaft (no speed ratio).
The number of teeth seen by the pickups is 60.
The governor control valve isnt linear. (See data below.)
The turbine drives a centrifugal compressor, the compressor critical band is
31093763 rpm, while the turbine critical band is 36504250 rpm, and
acceleration rate for critical band is 170 rpm/second.
Remote speed control is desired via an analog input.
The governor can control the turbine speed using the control valve around
400 rpm.
To reach minimum control speed, the control valve should be at a
minimum of 20%. If speed is not detected within 15 seconds, the turbine
should trip.
The trip and throttle valve has limit switches.
The governor should trip the turbine if speed goes above 10395 rpm.
Run speed is 6000 rpm, accelerating to run at 2.25 rpm/second.
Normal operation allows an acceleration rate of 4.0 rpm/second.

Step 1: Consolidate a critical band that works for both the turbine and
compressor (for example, 28004500 rpm.) It is recommended to set the values
with some margin, so our margin is around 250 rpm. Also, the delta is 1700 rpm,
so at 170 rpm/second, the critical stall timer should set around 1012 seconds.

Step 2: Identify the relationship that describes the steam flow versus the control
valve position, sometimes known as characterization. Table 28 shows that
relationship for this example.

Chapter 6 Operation

Governor States The SVST uses a software state engine to control phases of the turbine startup
and operation. The turbine startup is a sequential process to take the machine
from zero speed up to operation speed. Therefore, at any given time the governor
uses a state to represent its current operation, for example, Acceleration.

These are the possible SVST governor states:


Shutdown (or Initial)
Not Ready
Ready
Acceleration
Hold
Idle 1
Idle 2
Running
Overspeed Test (OST)
Stopping
Generator On

The Home Screen Page 2 shows the current system state.

Operation Chapter 6

Governor Valve Manual For calibration and maintenance purposes only, the SVST lets you to manually
stroke the governor valve. This operation can be performed in two ways,
Stroke supervised (default) and not supervised.

Supervised Manual Stroke

When performing the supervised manual stroke, the governor checks for the stop
valve status and speed detection.
The turbine stop valve must be closed.
The turbine should be at zero speed.

The SVST application enters the Not Ready state when these conditions are met:
Stop valve is closed.
Interlocks are clear.

Not Supervised Manual Stroke

ATTENTION: This is a manual operation and caution is highly recommended.


The proper safety measures must be in place when performing this task.

The Not Supervised manual stroke can be used for the following:
Calibration of the governor valve
Calibration of magnetic pickups or speed sensors
Checking an external overspeed protection system without running the
governor through the automated start-up sequence

When the unit doesn't have a limit switch to indicate the stop valve closed
position or speed detection is allowed (in other words, magnetic pickups
calibration), follow these steps.

Interlocks and Permissives Interlocks and Permissives must be cleared prior to a turbine startup.
An Interlock is a condition that needs to be normal (healthy) in order to
operate. The SVST governor does not move from the shutdown state
when any interlock signal remains active. All interlocks must be healthy to
move from the shutdown state.
A Permissive is a condition that needs to be healthy in order to start, but
after the sequence has started, the healthy condition can be lost without
affecting the system.

3. Invert each external trips signal polarity as needed by checking the


appropriate box in the Invert column.

Note the following constraints about inverting polarity:


The invert function requires an engineer log-in level.
It is only possible to invert polarity for interlocks 6...9 (Turbine EStop and
External Trips 13.)
Polarity for interlocks 1...5 is internally locked by the SVST application.
The turbine can not be in operation. If the system detects that the turbine
is running, a padlock appears indicating that the configuration for
invert is locked down.

Figure 53 shows the interlock status when each of the unused external trips is
ready to be reset. After the reset is applied, they should become healthy (with a
green check mark.) An interlock reset is required since they are latched by the
application.

Gov Valve at min Pos The governor valve should be at minimum position.
External Permissive This is a user signal which can be used for different types of permissives.
For example, a slow turbine roll could be used as an external permissive.
Speed FB Permissive The speed processing unit verifies that speed is zero before starting.
Speed < Min Control Speed should be below minimum control.
Hardware Status The hardware integrity should be such that allows the unit to operate.
Configuration Error The system should have no configuration errors detected in order to start.

Similar to interlocks, the permissive screen shows the first output event and status
of each permissive.

The permissive signals arent latched by the controller, therefore when they return
to normal (healthy), the display updates this condition and no reset is required.

The same procedure for inverting or bypassing interlocks can be applied to a


permissive, however, the only permissive that accepts inverting or bypassing is the
External Permissive (Figure 57).

Startup This section describes the various aspects of the start-up process.

Start-up Sequence

ATTENTION: Do not attempt to start the turbine if the units configuration


hasnt been completed. All relevant configuration parameters discussed in
Chapter 5 SVST Configuration must be properly configured.

ATTENTION: Be prepared to perform an E-stop to protect against runaway or


overspeed.

IMPORTANT It is highly recommended that alarms or warnings be cleared before starting


the turbine. The toolbar icons for alarms and warnings should be white,
indicating that none of these categories has active items.

When improper configuration is detected by the controller, the warning icon


turns yellow and a configuration error is generated. Press the Warnings icon on
the tool bar to go to the Warning screen Page 2, as shown in Figure 58.

Figure 58 - Warning Screen Page 2 Configuration Error

IMPORTANT Under this condition, the turbine cant be started. Check the settings, and if you
cant clear this condition after you have entered the proper information to the
controller, contact Rockwell Automation for support.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 85


Chapter 6 Operation

When ready to start, the Home Screen Page 2 should look like Figure 59.

Figure 59 - Home Screen Page 2 Ready to start

1. Press to start the turbine.

The following events occur:


The governor moves to accelerating
The fail-safe timer starts
The governor valve ramps open at the open loop ramp rate
2. If your unit has a trip and throttle valve, open the steam flow manually so
that the turbine can reach minimum control speed.

Minimum control speed is the speed at which the governor can start
accelerating the turbine in a closed-loop control strategy. Consider these
factors:
Magnetic pickups reading
Steam flow through the governor valve

The speed input module (HSC) starts sensing speed when enough voltage
is generated by the magnetic pickups.
Minimum voltage is approximately 5.4 volts peak-to-peak.
Maximum is 60 volts peak-to-peak.

Depending on the sensor type and air gap, the minimum speed reading
could be as low as 200 rpm.

In addition to the speed sensing, it is also required that the control valve be
able to regulate the steam flow through the turbine. For example, if the
speed input module starts sensing speed around 200 rpm and the governor
valve can control speed around 500 rpm and above, then the minimum
control speed should be adjusted to 500 rpm.

Note: If your application requires controlling speed at lower rpm rates, a


signal conditioner can be installed, for example, CALEX model 8560.

86 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

Another option could be to change the speed sensor from a magnetic


pickup (passive) type to a hall effect (active) type that provides a 24V DC
square wave output.

Figure 60 - Home Screen Page 2 Accelerating status

Note: If the fail-safe timer expires before reaching minimum control speed,
the turbine trips.

When the minimum control speed is reached, the turbine continues to


accelerate until the next defined idle speed, or to the rated running speed
target if the idle speed has not been configured. The acceleration rate
depends on the turbine thermal condition.
3. After closed loop acceleration is reached, the following actions are
recommended.
Halt the turbine acceleration for tuning of the speed PID. When
performing a halt, make sure the turbine is placed in a safe speed.
Check the magnetic pickups.
Check the speed trends.
Check the alarms.

When the acceleration is halted, the governor switches to Hold (Figure 61).

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 87

Chapter 6 Operation

Idle Speeds

When the initial tuning and checkup is completed, the acceleration can be

resumed by pressing (resume). The governor switches to accelerating and


takes the turbine to the next configured idle speed.

When in idle, it is possible to confirm the current state of operation by going to


the Home Screen Page 2, as in Figure 64.

Figure 64 - Home Screen Page 2 In Idle 1

Also, you can check the current elapsed time by navigating to Page 4. Figure 65
shows:
The current thermal condition is Not Cold.
The current speed is Idle1.
The current configuration has an idle time of 1:30s.
The elapsed time is 1:19s.

Figure 65 - Home Screen Page 4 Idle1 Set and Elapsed Time

90 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

The SVST can handle two idle speeds with different acceleration rates and hold
times, so in the same manner, when reaching Idle2 the corresponding state on
Page 2 (Figure 66) and hold time on Page 4 (Figure 67) update accordingly.

Figure 66 - Home Screen Page 2 In Idle2

Note the following.

It is possible to skip the idle waiting period by pressing . This resumes


the acceleration phase.

If you press during the idle time, the governor moves to hold state

and cancels the idle timer. Pressing initiates the acceleration again.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 91


Chapter 6 Operation

Critical Speed Avoidance

Many turbines have critical speeds (sometimes referred to as no dwell zones)


where vibration harmonics occur. In order to avoid these critical speeds and to
minimize the effect of these vibrations, it is sometimes recommended to
accelerate through the critical speed band as quickly as possible. The SVST allows
configuring two different critical speed bands.

In our example configuration, there is a critical speed band from 11001400 rpm
and a second one from 31003300 rpm. The trend in Figure 68 shows how the
governor accelerates the turbine more quickly through the critical band. Notice
the step in setpoint and governor valve output. The two idle speeds of 1000 and
3000 rpm can also be seen on the trend.

Figure 68 - Speed Trend Display Showing acceleration during critical bands

Note the following.


Hold commands are ignored during the transition in a critical speed band.
If the turbine doesnt reach the higher end of the critical band within a
configured time interval, a turbine stall in critical speed alarm is generated.
Under the stall in critical speed alarm condition, the governor takes the
setpoint down to the lower end of the critical band and switches to hold
state.

92 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

Running State After the acceleration state is completed, the governor enters the running state.
The turbine speed is controlled between minimum and maximum governor
which defines its operating range. This speed is called run speed, and in our
configuration example it is 3600 rpm.

The operation screen showing the current state indicates Running (Figure 69).

Figure 69 - Home Screen Page 2 In Running state

After reaching the Running state, the speed PID updates these screen items:

A numeric entry (white) is available to enter a new setpoint.

Figure 70 - Home Screen Page 3 Updated setpoint in display

When the governor is running and is in local mode, the setpoint can be changed
from the HMI (white numeric entry) or by using the raise and lower inputs. The
setpoint is limited to a value between minimum and maximum governor. The
acceleration rate is limited to the run acceleration rate.

Complete these steps to enter a new setpoint.

1. Press the white numeric entry.

4. To confirm the new setpoint, press .


If you change your mind, you can undo the action by changing the setpoint
to the value you had before. Note that setpoint was limited to 3420...3780
rpm in this example (min and max governor).

When you press , the setpoint is taken by the controller and it is ramped,
in this case from 3600...3620 rpm, at the configured running SP increment/
decrement rate, for this example 10 rpm/s.

94 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

When the new setpoint has reached the target of 3620 rpm, the faceplate displays
a link (green arrow shown in Figure 72) between the target setpoint and the
current setpoint indicating that they match.

Local and Remote Control The SVST allows remote control of the speed setpoint. Only one option can be
enabled for a particular application. The type of option selected cannot be
changed while the turbine is in operation.

The available options are:


Analog Input Speed setpoint
Modbus Speed setpoint
Auxiliary PID setpoint
Generator Control

To select an option, check the configuration parameters on Speed Page 2/Item

Chapter 6 Operation

Figure 73 - Parameters Screen Page 2

Analog Input Speed Setpoint

The SVST can be configured for a remote speed setpoint signal. The speed PID
only takes this remote reference when the governor has reached the running
condition. There are two modes that the remote speed reference functions for the
SVST.
High Select Default mode is a high select between the local and remote
setpoint.
Remote Control A second mode is used when the SVST is switched to
remote control using the HMI push button.

The remote analog input setpoint is a 420 mA signal that the SVST scales from
minimum governor 4 mA to maximum governor 20 mA. The remote speed
setpoint value is shown just below the current speed setpoint numeric display
(CSP).

High Select

With the default high select mode, the speed PID setpoint is the higher between
the local and remote speed reference. The SVST has rates in rpm/s for increasing
or decreasing the setpoint from either source, local or remote. Should the remote
speed reference fail, the SVST reverts to the local setpoint. Note that when using
this mode, the local setpoint does not track the remote signal; however, the Raise
or Lower speed buttons can be used at any time to increase or decrease the local
setpoint.

Figure 74 shows the speed PID faceplate, where the local setpoint is 3600 rpm,
while the remote reference is 3420 rpm. Therefore, the PID uses 3600 rpm, the
higher of the two values.

Note that when using the default high select function, the overspeed test can be
enabled only if the local setpoint is taken to maximum governor.

Remote Control

When switched to remote control, the speed PID uses the remote speed
reference, while the local setpoint tracks the current speed. This provides a
smooth transfer between local and remote operation.

Figure 76 shows the speed PID faceplate when remote control is selected. Note
how the local setpoint is tracking the current speed, while the current setpoint
CSP is increasing to reach the desired target of 3779 rpm (Figure 77).

Analog Input Integrity

The SVST checks for analog input integrity. If the signal fails, the governor
switches from remote back to local and the setpoint will match the current
turbine speed. An alarm is generated on remote setpoint analog input failure.

Under this condition, the remote button is unavailable until the failure is
corrected. After the failure is fixed, the Remote button is available again and can

Modbus Speed Setpoint

The SVST governor has a built-in RS-232 serial port that can be used for
Modbus communications. For details on the Modbus parameters and available
registers, refer to Chapter 7 Modbus Interface.

When working with a Modbus Remote setpoint, the procedure to change to


remote is the same as the one explained in Analog Input Speed Setpoint on page
96. The indications regarding the remote setpoint and current setpoint on the
faceplate are the same.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 99


Chapter 6 Operation

In order to write a new setpoint via the Modbus link, there are two actions that
need to be performed by the remote device (such as DCS).
The setpoint value needs to be written to the holding register 40001.
A confirmation bit needs to be set (pulse type) on coil 0004.

The holding register contains a 16-bit value within the configured Modbus
range. For example, if the Modbus range is 04096, and if the remote device tries
to write 3600 rpm, the holding register must be written with 2048.

The SVST serial port functions as a slave RTU Modbus protocol device. It is the
responsibility of the Modbus master to check the integrity of the Modbus link.

Auxiliary PID Setpoint

The auxiliary PID function allows the SVST to control a process variable by
indirectly controlling the turbine speed. For example, the steam turbine can be a
driver for a blower and the discharge pressure of the blower can be controlled by
increasing/decreasing the turbine speed via the auxiliary PID. In other words, the
auxiliary PID produces a cascade setpoint to the speed PID controller.

When the auxiliary PID control option has been configured, it is possible to get
access to the PID faceplate from the Home Screen Page 4. The Home Screen
Page 4 displays the turbine thermal condition selection during startup (shown in
Figure 16 on page 28), however when the startup is completed, this page is
replaced by the auxiliary PIDs faceplate, shown in Figure 81.

Figure 81 - Home Screen Page 4 Auxiliary PID faceplate

The auxiliary PID tracks the speed controller output when it isnt enabled; this
allows a smooth transfer control. In order to enable it, from page 3, change to

remote by pressing .

100 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

Figure 82 - Home Screen Page 4 Auxiliary PID with adjustable setpoint

When enabled, a numeric entry for the auxiliary PID setpoint is available and the
setpoint can be changed.

In the same manner as the speed PID, the auxiliary PID requires confirmation

after entering a new setpoint (press ).

Figure 83 - Auxiliary PID Setpoint confirmation arrow

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 101


Chapter 6 Operation

Figure 84 - Auxiliary PID Setpoint established

When the new setpoint is entered, the PID controller updates its output, trying
to the reach the target SP. The setpoint uses a ramp function in percent/sec.

The speed controller now uses the cascaded speed setpoint to adjust the turbine
speed as required by the process.

Figure 85 - Speed PID Cascading setpoint

As with any standard PID controller, it is possible to change the PID mode to

manual. When the loop is placed in manual mode by pressing , you can
manipulate this output to produce an indirect setpoint to the speed controller.
For example, if the CV is changed to 50%, the speed controller ramps the
setpoint to 3600 rpm. (Recalling our configuration example, the minimum
governor was 3420 rpm and the maximum governor was 3780 rpm, therefore
50% of the span corresponds to 3600 rpm.)

The process to enter a new CV value is the same used to enter a new setpoint for
the PID:

1. Press the white numeric entry.


2. Use the keypad to enter the desired value.
3. Press the confirmation arrow.

Figure 87 - Auxiliary PID confirmed new CV value

Auxiliary PID PV Failure

If the auxiliary PID PV fails, the speed controller changes to operate using a local
setpoint, and an alarm is generated to alert this condition. The remote button is
unavailable until the failure is cleared. This behavior is similar to that described
for the remote analog input setpoint option in case of failure. (See Analog Input
Integrity on page 98.)

To enable this function, set the remote control option to index 2, as listed in
Table 34 on page 95.

Operation Chapter 6

Generator Control

The SVST can operate in generator control mode with the following methods of
operation available:
Droop or Load Control
Isochronous (Island Mode) or Frequency Control

This mode of operation relies on an external device or synchronization.

When the governor is in running state and the generator function is enabled, the
Home Screen Page 4 updates as shown in Figure 91.

Figure 91 - Home Screen Page 4 Generator Status Off Line

On this page, these control elements are shown:


Generator current status (multistate indicator with yellow background)
Speed control isochronous push buttons (SCI In, SCI Out)
Grid Breaker status
Generator Breaker status

The generator current status is indicated as any of the following:


Off Line
Droop
Isochronous
Iso Standby

When the generator breaker closes, the governor state indication updates as in
Figure 92.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 105


Chapter 6 Operation

Figure 92 - Home Screen Page 2 Generator On status

Droop

To work in this mode of operation, the following prerequisites should be met:


Generator is synchronized to the electrical grid.
Grid breaker is closed.
Generator breaker closes after synchronization.

When these prerequisites are met, the Generator Status display updates
(Figure 93).

Figure 93 - Home Screen Page 4 Generator Status Droop mode

106 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

The Droop or Load control algorithm applies initial load to the generator and
the Home Screen Page 3 updates (Figure 94).

Figure 94 - Home Screen Page 3 Load Control view

When in droop control mode, it is possible to load or unload the generator using
the increase/decrease speed reference inputs. A numeric entry for setpoint is also
available, where the value to be entered is in a 0100% range.

The droop control ramps the setpoint at the configured load rate. You must
configure these values according to your specific machine requirements.

Figure 95 shows an increase in load of about 20%.

Figure 95 - Home Screen Page 3 Load increase

Note: The droop control algorithm relies on a machine that is connected to the
external electrical grid that holds the generator frequency.

ATTENTION: Always unload the generator before opening the generator


breaker, or turbine overspeed can occur.

Isochronous (Island Mode)

Isochronous mode of operation is only possible when the external grid breaker is
open. There are two ways of putting the control mode in service:
Before Synchronization with both generator breaker and grid breaker
open.
Select the speed control isochronous option by pressing SCI In. When the
generator breaker closes, the system works in isochronous mode. Figure 97
and Figure 98 illustrate these steps.

After Synchronization both generator breaker and grid breaker are closed.
Select the speed control isochronous option by pressing SCI In. The
system continues to work in Droop control, however the Isochronous
Standby condition is set. When the grid breaker opens and the generator
breaker remains closed, the system is transferred automatically from Droop
control to Isochronous. Figure 99, Figure 100, and Figure 101 illustrate
this sequence.

When working in isochronous mode, the turbine speed reference can be adjusted
from page 3. The speed setpoint should be such that the generator keeps the
frequency constant for the load under control, for example, at 3600 rpm.

When working with the generator control feature, the following alarms are
available:

Overspeed Test Overspeed test allows increasing the speed reference above the maximum
governor limit in order to test an external overspeed protection device. The
SVST is equipped with three external trip inputs. Any of these can be used to
connect a signal from the external overspeed trip device and let the SVST know
when a trip has occurred.

Overspeed Test Procedure

In our example with maximum governor at 3780 rpm, the following illustrates
what occurs during the test.

1. To enable the overspeed test, set the speed reference to maximum governor
speed.
2. When the speed reaches maximum governor speed, the OST button
becomes available. Press the OST button to start the overspeed test.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 111


Chapter 6 Operation

When an overspeed test is in progress, the governor switches to overspeed


test mode, and a warning indication is generated.

A timer starts and the test must be completed within that time, otherwise
the test is cancelled. (See Canceling the Overspeed Test on page 114.)

Figure 104 - Speed PID Showing overspeed test enabled

112 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

Figure 105 - Home Screen Page 2 Overspeed test in progress

3. At this point, increase the speed reference towards the external protection
trip speed setting (3900 rpm for this example) using the Raise Speed
button.

When the speed goes above 3900 rpm, it is expected that the turbine will trip,
which finishes the test.

Regardless of the external trip setting and test timer elapsed time, when speed
goes above maximum control speed, the governor trips the turbine.

If the turbine does not trip, the test fails. The following shows what happens
when the test fails.
An overspeed test failure alarm is generated.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013 113


Chapter 6 Operation

The test timer keeps running.

If the speed continues above the external trip setting (3900 rpm) when the
timer expires, the turbine trips as shown here.

Canceling the Overspeed Test

The overspeed test can be cancelled manually by releasing the overspeed test
button. Alternatively, when the test timer expires and speed is below the external
trip setting, the test is automatically cancelled. When the overspeed test is
cancelled, the governor takes the speed reference to max governor 5.0 rpm. In
our example with maximum governor at 3780 rpm, this would be 3775 rpm.

114 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Operation Chapter 6

Stop Function The SVST can stop the turbine using any of the available trip signals. An
additional closed-loop deceleration feature, a Stop button, is on the Home Screen
Page 2, shown in Figure 106.

Figure 106 - Home Screen Page 2 Showing available closed loop deceleration Stop button

The Stop button is used when a closed-loop deceleration is desirable for stopping
the turbine. This function has no prerequisite other than that the sequence has
started.

IMPORTANT It is important not to confuse this function with the E-stop. The E-stop
available on the control panels door immediately trips the turbine.

Chapter 7

Modbus Interface

The SVST has an RS-232 serial port for Modbus communications. The protocol
supported is RTU in slave mode. Configuration of the Modbus interface can be
done through either the HMI, covered in this chapter, or with the PC
configuration tool, covered in Appendix A PC Configuration Tool.

Serial Port Configuration Table 35 lists the parameters related to Modbus communications.

Table 35 - Modbus Communications Parameters


Parameter Description Range
1 Modbus Slave ID 1247
2 Modbus Range 032768
3 Port Speed Configuration 038400
4 Port Parity Configuration 02
5 Port Speed Read back 038400
6 Port Parity Read back 05
7 Port Update 01

Parameter 1 is the slave address that the SVST uses for Modbus communications.

Parameter 2 is a value in counts (for example, 4096) used to scale values from
engineering units to raw data so that they can be sent in integer format in a
Modbus command. As an example, if the turbine speed is 7500 rpm and the
Modbus range was configured at 4096, then address 30001 contains a value of
2048 counts.

Parameter 3 is the Port Speed transmission rate in kilobauds per second. This is
the speed that the serial port will work when a Port Update command is issued.

Parameter 4 is the parity configuration for the serial port, with these values:
0: None
1: Odd
2: Even

Parameters 5 and 6 are read-only and represent the current port settings.

Parameter 7, when set to 1 and the parameters are downloaded to the SVST
governor, the Modbus Interface requests the controller to update the serial port
settings.

Digital Inputs

When the SVST Digital Inputs are in condition for the turbine to start, the
display detail should look like Figure 109.

Figure 109 - Digital Inputs Status Ready for turbine to start

The normal condition for trips is 1 or active, which is due to the fail-safe design
of the SVST. An open contact or 0 on the input channel trips the turbine. This
applies to channels 4, 9, 10, and 11.

Digital Outputs

When the SVST Digital Outputs are in condition for the turbine to start, the
detail display should look like Figure 110.

Figure 110 - Digital Outputs Status Ready for turbine to start

Note: Both of the turbine trip signals are energized due to the fail-safe design of
the SVST, meaning the output must de-energize to trip.

Configuration Errors The SVST has a built-in basic configuration error routine. When a configuration
error is detected, a warning is generated. The configuration error is a permissive
that must be cleared in order to start the turbine.

The following conditions will generate a configuration error:


Idle 1 > 0 and Run Speed target is < Idle 1.
For example, Speed Page 1, parameter 5 is set to 1000 rpm and Speed Page
2, parameter 1 is set to 900 rpm.
Idle 2 > 0 and Run Speed target is < Idle 2.
This is applicable for both cold and not cold conditions.
Idle 1 > 0 and Acceleration rate is 0.
For example, Speed Page 1, parameter 5 is set to 1000 rpm and Speed Page
1, parameter 6 is set to 0.
Idle 2 > 0 and Acceleration rate is 0.
This is applicable for both cold and not cold conditions.
Run speed target is defined out of the limits of minimum and maximum
governor.
For example, Speed Page 2, parameter 1 should be within the minimum
and maximum governor range.

128 Rockwell Automation Publication 1711-UM001B-EN-P - May 2013


Troubleshooting Chapter 8

Run speed acceleration rate is 0.


This is applicable for both cold and not cold conditions.
Idle 1 > 0 and Idle 2 > 0 and Idle 2 < Idle 1.
This means you have defined two idle speeds, however Idle 2 is less than
Idle 1. This is applicable for both cold and not cold conditions.
Idle 1 or Idle 2 was defined inside critical band 1 or critical band 2.
This is applicable for both cold and not cold conditions.
Minimum governor speed is greater than Maximum governor speed.
Maximum control speed is less than Maximum governor speed.
Minimum control speed is 0.
Speed PID tuning parameters Kp and Ki are equal to 0.
The gear number of teeth is equal to 0.
Check the Speed Pickups and Timers page, Parameter 1. (See Speed
Pickups on page 131.)
The gear ratio to turbine shaft is equal to 0.
Check the Speed Pickups and Timers page, Parameter 2.

When a configuration error is detected, the Warning Screen Page 2 updates as in


Figure 113, and the Permissive screen changes as in Figure 114 to update the
missing permissive indication due to configuration error.

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

Tuning Tuning the speed PID is essential for the SVST to operate correctly. Poor tuning
generates diverse issues and makes the system unstable.

This manual is not a PID tuning guide; there are numerous publications available
about this topic. However, basic tuning of the PID controller can be achieved
using the following steps:

1. Start the turbine.


2. When the turbine is above minimum control speed, put the turbine in
hold. (This could be around 800 rpm or any speed above minimum
control and less than Idle 1, Idle 2, or Minimum Governor.)
3. Try using a proportional gain only starting with zero (integral).
4. If the SVST is holding appropriate speed, then increase the proportional
gain until it oscillates; then the proportional gain will be half the value of
the gain that made the speed control to hunt.
5. After the proportional gain is adjusted, increase the integral reset to make
the response better. A general guide is that it should be about 0.45% of the
proportional gain.
6. While in hold, use the Raise and Lower speed commands to check the
speed control response.

Note: Repeat the tuning for different turbine load conditions.

To access to the speed PID tuning parameters while the turbine is running,
follow these steps.

1. Press the Maintenance icon .


2. From the Device Operation & Settings list, select Speed PID.

Uploading and Downloading Overview


Similar to the PanelView HMI application, there are two classifications of data
available to adjust for a particular application:
Configuration parameters Can only be changed when the turbine is not
running.
Tunable settings Can be changed for tuning purposes even when the
turbine is running. Example: PID tuning constants.

The upload process displays the current configuration of the SVST governor in
the PC Configuration Tool. When selecting any of the Configuration menu
options, a dialog window shows the configuration data.
If a connection was established (per Connecting to the SVST on page
141), the tool reads (uploads) data from the SVST and presents values in
the dialog window.
If a connection was not established, the configuration parameters are
shown with the latest data in the buffer, which may be zeros.

The download process transfers configuration parameters to the SVST governor


followed by a readback (upload) to update the dialog information. Download can
also configure tunable settings while the turbine is running.

The PC configuration tool has built-in mechanisms that allow downloading


configuration parameters to the SVST governor only if these prerequisites are
met:
User entered a valid password.
The turbine is not in operation.
