IGV Control

The document discusses temperature control algorithms that calculate exhaust temperature references based on engine parameters and control constants. It describes how the temperature reference varies with turbine load and selects the minimum value from multiple references. It also discusses how inlet guide vane (IGV) position is biased during start-up and temperature control to gradually open the vanes and transition control to fuel modulation as the vanes open fully. A fuel control bias is applied to prevent fuel and IGV controls from acting simultaneously during this transition.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

A. TEMPERATURE CONTROL REFERENCE

The temperature control reference algorithm TTRX (1) calculates the exhaust temperature control reference TTRXB (2) based on CPR and the set of control
constants selected by the reference select logic. The algorithm also calculates a backup reference based on FSR or DWATT and its set of constants.

Figure below is a graphical illustration of how TTRX vs turbine load is computed. It is low signal select of A, B and C.
B. TEMPERATURE CONTROL WITH IGV BIAS

During a normal start-up, IGV is set to full closed position by CSRGVPS (4).

As speed increase CSRGVPS increase to KGVMAX 86%, IGV is opened to KGVMN1 54%.

As CSRGV-KGVMAX > -2% CSRGVTB (5) starts to increase until KGVMX 30%. This biases up TTRXB – see last paragraph.

If IGV Temperature Control is not selected L83TVON (6) is FALSE and TTRX is minimum selected with 700F – simple cycle mode.

If IGV Temperature Control is selected L83TVON (6) is TRUE and TTRX is minimum selected with 2045F – combined cycle mode. In this mode the VIGVs
remain at the minimum full operating position until the base exhaust temperature limit is reached.
At this point, they begin to open to hold the exhaust temperature at this limit until they are full open when the exhaust temoerature control reverts to fuel
modulation.

In order to keep the fuel control and IGV control from trying to act simultaneously, a fuel control bias CSRGVTB is added to keep the fuel line slightly above the
VIGV line. This bias is the product of constant CSKGVBG times the difference between the maximum VIGV angle (constant CSKGVMAX) and the VIGV
reference CSRGV. This bias becomes zero when the VIGVs are fully open and the fuel temperature control takes over.

Manual open/close soft switches are provided to allow the operator to manually position the VIGVs between the minimum full speed angle and full Open. This
control should only be used in special circumstances to limit the travel (amount opened). The manual control is limited to command an angle only when
less than that being called for by the automatic control system. In normal operation, the manual control is set at full open.
