Patent US 4,039,804

A hybrid digital computer gas turbine power plant control system which may operate in a multiple-control loop arrangement is provided with selected process variable monitoring means. Control system inputs representative of current values of such variables are continuously available to provide positive highly responsive control over a broad range of gas turbine operating conditions. Predictable process sensor errors are effectively eliminated by means of programmed computer operations to thereby insure highly accurate control variable derivation essential to maintaining gas turbine operation at or near design limits.
