Abstract (en)

A steam turbine (10) comprises an overspeed control system (16) for responding to the deloading of the steam turbine (10). The steam turbine (10) has a control system (16) with: a control system fault alert (FA) for identifying a fault in the control system (16); a trigger event (TE) defining the point of deloading of the steam turbine (10); a control feature (12) configured to achieve a control state (CS) in response to the deloading; and a predetermined control time (CT) providing an expected time interval between the trigger event (TE) and the point in time at which the control feature (12) achieves the control state (CS). The control system fault alert (FA) is configured to initiate if, in response to the deloading of the steam turbine (10), the control state (CS) is not achieved within the control time (CT). In this way, an active alert is provided that may be used as a fault warning and/or steam turbine (10) trip.
