← TechnologyWhich increased risk arises when a gas turbine control system’s speed governors exhibit excessive integral windup?
A)Compressor surge and stall initiation✓
B)Combustion chamber flashback occurrence
C)Turbine blade creep acceleration
D)Fuel injector nozzle coking increase
💡 Explanation
Compressor surge risk increases because integral windup in the speed governors induces large, late fuel adjustments following load rejection; therefore, the mass flow rapidly decreases with sustained high pressure, inviting surge, rather than gradual fuel reduction to stabilize the pressure ratio.
