From generators to turbines, we can consult on, or create, a cost-competitive and less-disruptive power plant upgrade for the economics, maintenance, and overall reliability of your automation and control equipment. Generator excitation, HMI and turbine control upgrades can help extend your equipment life, improve overall plant performance, and reduce operational expenditures (OpEx).
Modernization and compliance
Our automation and control upgrade solutions for excitation systems, HMIs, and turbine controls:
Power plant turbine controls solutions
Our steam turbine control upgrades range from full-system replacement to our smart Industrial Internet Control System (IICS) Migration Pack. Reusing site infrastructure, we’ll facilitate a smooth migration of your ALSPA installed base to GE’s latest Mark VIe controls without the need for modifications to I/O modules and process wiring.
