Because overall production and plant safety are so dependent on turbomachinery performance, failures and unplanned outages can take a major toll in lost production and repair. Often, simply modernizing and retrofitting turbine controls can restore production, performance and profitability.
Turbomachinery power plant success
This Korean power plant successfully upgraded its turbomachinery equipment despite its remote location, limited local skilled resources and readily-available installation materials. As a result, it has achieved improved reliability, a simplified operating interface and adherence to regulations, all while providing a stable power supply to its customers.

Turbomachinery control solutions for power industry
Obtain generator control solutions including power control and automatic voltage regulation (AVR). Since overall production and safety are tied to a plant’s turbomachinery, it often represents the most critical capital equipment investment. Unplanned outages or failures incur significant cost in terms of lost production and repair; therefore enhancing TMC performance improves production capability and overall profitability.
Boost safety and efficiency
With solutions and services for the fossil, hydro, and nuclear power market, Schneider Electric addresses all power configurations and needs for small to large reheat turbines. With more than four decades of experience, we have developed control solutions for general purpose and critical applications to boost safety and efficiency.

Turbomachinery Control (TMC) for Mechanical Retrofit
Extend the life of TMC equipment and improve overall reliability with mechanical retrofit upgrades. Turbine-driven process plants must operate smoothly for a decade or more. This requires robust controls, reliable mechanical components, avoidance of spurious trips, and capabilities for online repair and testing. Enhancing visualization, diagnostics and simulation also helps extend time between turnarounds.
TMC Retrofitting
TMC retrofits eliminate mystery boxes and outdated mechanical components. TriconexTM safety systems ensures 2oo3 voting for all trip inputs, electronic over-speed protection, online testing and repair, no single point of failure, and full instrumentation for automatic testing, and continuous diagnostics.
