This Program selects the minimum of the three set points, CPD bias, FSR bias, or isothermal setpoint for the final exhaust temperature control reference. During normal operation with Gas or light Distillate fuels, this selection results in a CPD bias control with an isothermal limit.
CPD bias setpoint is compared with the FSR bias setpoint by the program and an alarm occurs when the CPD setpoint exceeds the FSR bias setpoint.
During normal operation with Heavy fuels, FSR bias setpoint will be selected to minimize the turbine nozzle plugging on firing temperature.
FSR bias setpoint is compared with CPD bias setpoint and an alarm occurs when the FSR bias setpoint exceeds the CPD bias setpoint.
A ramp function is provided in the program to limit the rate of setpoint change. Both Max (TTKRXR1) and Min (TTKRXR2) change in ramp rates (slopes) are programmed.Typical rate change limit is 1.5deg F. The output of this ramp function is the Exhaust temp.control setpoint which is stored in the computer memory.

Turbine fuel control system will change fuel flow to the combustors in response to the fuel stroke reference signal(FSR).
FSR
actually consists of two separate signals added together. FSR = FSR1 + FSR2 FSR1 = Called-for liquid fuel flow FSR2 = Called-for gas fuel flow

fuel systems are designed for operation with Liquid fuel and/or gas fuel.
Servo valve is the interface between the electrical and mechanical systems Servo valve controls the direction and rate of motion of a hydraulic actuator based on the input current to the servo. Servo valve contains three electrically isolated coils on the torque motor. Each coil is connected to one of the three controllers <RST>, thereby redundancy is ensured if one of the controller fails. A null-bias spring positions the servo so that actuator goes to the fail safe position when ALL power and/or control signal is lost.

Control system checks the permissive L4 and L20FLX to allow FSR1 for closing the Bypass valve
(closing bypass valve sends fuel to the combustors)
These signals control the opening and closing of the fuel oil stop valve. Fuel pump clutch solenoid (20CF) is energised to drive the pump when the Stop valve opens. Fuel splitter algorithm ensures requisite FSR when FSR1 is active FSR1 is multiplied by TNH - to make it a function of speed (an important parameter of Turbine)
to ensure better resolution at the lower, more critical speeds where air flow will be low. Net result is FQROUT- a digital liquid fuel flow command At Full speed, TNH does not change

GT running on Liquid (FSR1) and GAS transfer selected. FSR1 will remain at its initial value, FSR2 will step-up to slightly greater than Zero value (0.5%). This opens the GCV slightly to bleed down the inter valve volume. The presence of a high pressure than that required by the SRV would cause slow response in initiating gas flow. After delay of 30 sec to bleed down the P2 pressure and fill the gas supply line, the software program ramps the fuel commands FSR2 to increase and FSR1 to decrease at a programmed rate through median select gate. Fuel transfer completes in 30 sec.
