Abstract
A surge control system (16) is provided for a compressor (14) which anticipates the actual surge condition and initiates anti-surge protection in proportion to the magnitude of the anticipated surge condition. This is done by providing a feed foward signal (20) to a summing station (48) along with a normally generated surge control line point (44) to offset this point (44) by an amount determined by the feed forward signal (20). This offset point (50) is used as an input to a controller for controlling the bypass valve (28) in a bypass loop (30) around the compressor (14).
