Fault tolerant turbine speed control system

A generator (500) is installed on and provides electrical power from a turbine (100) by converting the turbine's mechanical (515) energy to electricity. The generated electrical power (551) is used to power controls of the turbine (100) so that the turbine can remain in use through its own ener...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A generator (500) is installed on and provides electrical power from a turbine (100) by converting the turbine's mechanical (515) energy to electricity. The generated electrical power (551) is used to power controls of the turbine (100) so that the turbine can remain in use through its own energy. The turbine can be a safety-related turbine in a nuclear power plant, such that, through the generator (500), loss of plant power will not result in loss of use of the turbine and safety-related functions powered by the same. Appropriate circuitry and electrical connections condition the generator to work in tandem with any other power sources (50) present, while providing electrical power with properties required to safely power the controls.
