Steam Turbine Solutions
Improper control, monitoring, and protection of your turbine could prove catastrophic to your operations.
Improper control, monitoring, and protection of your turbine could prove catastrophic to your operations.
Steam turbines represent one of the most substantial investments for a power plant, but as they age, more precise and reliable control technology is critical to ensuring reliability, responsiveness, efficiency, and protection of these critical plant assets.
Working with Emerson’s turbine experts, you can revitalize and protect your aging assets through complete turbine control and mechanical retrofits and integrated condition monitoring and protection systems.
Alert Plant Operations When Rotating Equipment Problems Pose a Threat
Following load more often taxes all parts of your plant, including the turbine. Aging, legacy turbine controls can become increasingly unresponsive and lead to higher maintenance costs and unplanned outages. Updated mechanical and electrical controls offers a seamless transition from legacy OEM automation and provides a fully integrated system for any operating profile.
Large, rotating turbines are at a high risk for problems, but inadequate diagnostics and outdated monitoring systems can make it difficult to diagnose, detect and address these complications. Update these systems with a complete monitoring and protection package which installs directly into your Ovation I/O. Along with eliminating a separate system, you will have automated turbine condition monitoring and projection and will be alerted to impending problems well before your turbine is adversely affected.
The implementation of digital technology has led to a higher frequency of obsolescence for many startup units, resulting in increased maintenance costs and inefficient performance under continuously changing loads. Integrating excitation controls directly into your control system I/O enables tighter startup and more efficient generator control along with a simplified, integrated design.
