Upgrade of ABB Turbine Control
COMPONENTS
- Si-TEC Xtend CGC-T
IBW Virginal opted for the HEINZMANN Si-TEC Xtend CGC-T system to not only upgrade but also improve their ABB turbine control. The control strategy requested by IBW was “Automatic Inlet Pressure Control” with the option of operating in “Automatic Base Load kW Control”.
The challenge
The opportunity for upgrade was presented when the IBW Virginal’s existing WW 505 control (obsolete version) had failed, and required replacement (including supply, installation and commissioning) all within 3 weeks.
The solution
Through the assistance of our French distributor NCG (Normandy Controls Group), who helped us secure and win this project, they successfully supplied, installed and commissioned 1x Si-TEC CGC-T system within 16 days, exceeding their client’s expectations.
With the successful commissioning and performance of the their 4.7 MW ABB T/G, IBW are now looking at upgrading their other turbine generator controls utilizing the many beneficial features of the HEINZMANN Si-TEC Xtend CGC-T steam turbine control system.
