Turbine Stress Evaluator PDF

The Turbine Stress Evaluator (TSE) is an important system that guides the operator during startup and shutdown of the turbine to prevent stressing the turbine and fatigue. It takes temperature, speed, and load inputs and computes thermal stress margins on key turbine components like the HP stop valve and shafts. It indicates margins on control panels to show the operator how close thermal stresses are to safe limits. The TSE aims to regain margins if needed by changing steam conditions and helps monitor turbine condition through self-monitoring algorithms.
