ASSIGNMENT 1
GAS TURBINE ( BRAYTON CYCLE)
There are two options for operating Brayton cycle gas turbine engines;
1. Open cycle
2. Closed cycle (ideal Brayton cycle)
The high T gases expand to ambient P in the turbine and produce power.
The exhaust gases leave the turbine.

ASSIGNMENT 1
Gas Turbine Starting Curve Description
Stage
A
Description
Start signal energized the Master Control and Protection Curcuit (L4) and starts the
necessary auxiliary equipment.
L4 will allow pressurization of the trip oil system
With the L4 circuit permission and starting clutch automatically engaged, the
starting device starts accelerate to purge and purge for 9.3 mins
When purge is completed, gas turbine will coast down and accelerate again.
GT starts ignition (firing) approximately at 18% of nominal speed.
The transition from firing to warm up occurs after one of two conditions meet:
a) Flame is detected by at least two flame detectors for greater than the constant
(K28FDZ), 2 seconds.
b) Flame is detected by all 4 flame detectors.
For warm up, Fuel Stroke Reference (FSR) will reduce to warm up level.
Warm up time is 60 seconds.
The warm up time is provided to minimize the thermal stresses of the hot gas path
parts during the initial part of the start up.
Acceleration control take over from speed control after warm up time.
Warm up is completed and gas turbine accelerates with higher rate.
The clutch is held in as long as the turning gear provides torque to the gas turbine.
When the turbine overruns the turning gear, the clutch will disengage, shutting down
the starting device.
Gas turbine is now at Full Speed No Load (FSNL).
Speed is approximately 5163 rpm.
