Zusammenfassung:Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for controlling turbine guide vane positions. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for controlling at least one turbine guide vane. The method includes receiving a reference signal (602) associated with the at least one turbine guide vane, measuring an actuator position (622) and an angular position (624) associated with the at least one turbine guide vane, generating a deadband signal (621) based at least in part on the angular position (624), and manipulating the at least one turbine guide vane based at least in part on the deadband signal (621) and the reference signal (602).
