Abstract:
1. A turbine control system that controls provision of fuel and air to a turbine engine and/or an air compressor that provides compressed air to said turbine engine, said turbine engine being connected to a power grid to provide generated power thereto, said system comprising: at least one sensor that monitors frequency fluctuations of said power grid from a standardized grid frequency value; an accumulator that stores a mixture of water and a motive fuel under pressure; and a controller that adjusts fuel and air flow to the turbine engine in response to detected grid frequency fluctuations, said controller providing the pressurized mixture of water and motive fuel to at least said compressor to augment mass flow to said turbine engine when said at least one sensor detects an under frequency condition of said power grid.
