  7. Control Systems Functions
    1. The electro-hydraulic control and safety system opens or closes the various control valves as necessary to control speed and load, frequency, extraction pressures, and back-pressure in various combinations, depending on the desired performance mode.
    2. The system also provides necessary safety functions, preventing turbine overspeed, overpressure in HP, IP, and LP sections, and other hazardous conditions.
    3. Panel content includes display for pressure and temperature of inlet, extraction, and exhaust steam.
    4. Vibration monitor: Bently Nevada 3500
  8. Lubrication Systems Functions
    1. The oil supply system supplies oil at a controlled temperature and pressure and directs its flow to the bearings of the turbine, generator, and exciter.
    2. In addition, the system supplies oil to the four main bearings to lift the shaft during starting, stopping, and turning gear operation, and to cool the control fluid.
