⚡ Turbine Control Applications

LM2500/LM6000 Aeroderivative Turbines: Processes temperature, pressure, and vibration signals from compressor stages, combustion chambers, and turbine sections in 25-50 MW aeroderivative units used in offshore platforms, peak shaving plants, and mechanical drive applications for LNG compression.

Emissions Monitoring & Control: Interfaces with NOx analyzers, CO sensors, and oxygen probes to maintain emissions compliance within single-digit ppm limits required by EPA regulations, adjusting fuel splits and combustion dynamics in real-time to meet environmental permits.

Fuel Control Systems: Commands servo valves and fuel metering units controlling natural gas, diesel, and dual-fuel injection systems, maintaining precise air-fuel ratios across load ranges from 20% to 110% (peak fire) while preventing compressor surge and combustor blowout.

Vibration & Bearing Monitoring: Acquires signals from proximity probes, seismic sensors, and bearing temperature RTDs, triggering protective shutdowns when vibration exceeds API 670 alarm limits or bearing temperatures indicate lubrication failures that could destroy $5M+ turbine rotors.

🛡️ Mission-Critical Reliability Features

Triple Modular Redundancy: Three independent processing channels vote on every I/O value, automatically masking single-point failures and maintaining 99.99% availability in critical power generation where unplanned outages cost $50K-200K per hour in lost revenue and grid penalties.

SIL 3 Safety Certification: IEC 61508 certification enables deployment in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) for overspeed protection, flame detection, and emergency shutdown functions, meeting insurance requirements and regulatory mandates for turbine protection systems.

Predictive Diagnostics: Continuous self-testing detects drift, noise, and component degradation 30-60 days before failure, generating maintenance alerts through ToolboxST software and enabling planned replacements during scheduled outages rather than forced shutdowns.

Harsh Environment Design: Conformal coating, extended temperature rating, and vibration resistance to 5G enable installation in turbine enclosures with 50°C ambient temperatures, high humidity, and mechanical vibration from rotating equipment without environmental control systems.
