|---|---|---|---|
|
Purpose |
Calculate turbine power production at a given flow and inlet pressure. Size the control valves. |
Calculate turbine power production at alternate conditions, such as partially closed feed valves and different source and sink pressures. |
View dynamic responses after the setpoint for the header pressure changes. Tune pressure controls for faster response. |
|
Source |
Specify flow. Specify pressure. |
Calculate flow. Specify pressure. |
Same as Fluid Flow. |

Valves |
Specify the manual position. Calculate the Cv. |
Specify the manual position. Specify the Cv. |
Same as Fluid Flow. |
|
Header |
Specify the operating pressure. Calculate the header volume. |
Calculate the pressure from the pressure balance. |
Same as Fluid Flow. |
|
Turbine |
Specify the efficiency. |
Specify the efficiency and expander flow area. Calculate the flow. |
Same as Fluid Flow. |
|
Pressure Controller |
Specify the pressure controller output to set the turbine governor position. |
Specify the setpoint. Calculate the controller output, which sets the turbine governor position. |
Change the setpoint to simulate the dynamic response of the simulation. |
