Building on our Westinghouse legacy in digital control and turbine technology, Emerson brings over six decades of global expertise in turbine control systems. Our steam turbine control systems are trusted worldwide, with over 1,500 installations supporting 650+ GW of generating capacity across ~50 countries. Our in-house steam turbine engineering expertise includes both new installations and aftermarket retrofits across major models such as Alstom/ABB, Toshiba, GE, and Siemens/Westinghouse.
Proven Steam Turbine Control Solutions
With complete engineering and design capabilities on mechanical, overspeed, excitation, and governor controls, combined with rotor stress analysis algorithms and Emerson’s advanced procedural integration, a steam turbine can startup and synch automatically in the most expedient, reliable manner with improved ramp rates.
Steam Turbine OEM Experience
Emerson’s experience with Alstom/ABB steam turbines includes:
• Retrofit solutions for any legacy control system (e.g. Procontrol™ P13/14, Advant®, Unitrol®, Microrec, BlueLine ®, P320, P400, ALSPA®, etc.)
• Addition of API 670 5th Edition compliant electronic overspeed protection
• Enhanced and redundant valve positioning control
• Removal of interposing electronics (e.g. valve positioners, valve position transmitters temperature transmitters) for increased reliability
