ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling a hydraulic turbine is disclosed comprising a hydraulic circuit to control the positioning of turbine runner blades and a hydraulic circuit to control the positioning of turbine wicket gates. The runner blade hydraulic circuit comprises a solenoid valve for normal operation of the blades and a slow rate servovalve for moving the blades when the actual blade position differs from a desired position by less than a predetermined tolerance. The wicket gate circuit comprises a solenoid valve for normal control of the gates. A diverter directs flow from the solenoid valve to a flow rate control valve when the difference between the actual and desired position of the gates is less than a second predetermined tolerance.
