Abstract An improved speed control method is proposed for a turbine-generator system. Whereas the present method employs a steam valve to control the flow of steam according to the desired output, the proposed system uses an epicyclic gear train to provide fine control of the speed, while coarse control is still maintained through the steam valve. The systematic design of such a gear train is the objective of this project. Two configurations are considered as suitable candidates. After the transmissions are analyzed to obtain the speed and torque relations, the dynamic equations of motion and control equations for the systems are derived for simulation purposes. The simulations are then conducted for various load cases and parameter values to determine a suitable design for application in the power industry. The final configuration allows constant generator output speeds to be reliably maintained in the face of significant load disturbances.
