The large size of power distribution

system, power plant units and increase
of automation in turbo-generators have
made the use of Electro Hydraulic
Control System inevitable & mandatory.
 Advantages Of EHC
• High flexibility.
• Excellent dynamic response.
• Easy materialization of complex functional
interrelations.
• Continuous & precise control of large actuation
forces of hydraulic control system.

NACT NREF : Given by operator
NACT : Grid speed in rpm ( it is
assumed to be steady; but it
actually changes causing
undesirable load changes during
steady state conditions. So speed
controller is not preferred at stable
grid conditions
