APPLICATION SCOPE OF SUPPLY

The GE Frame 6 gas turbine gen set application control package
®
The application control package for GE Frame 6® gas turbine
replaces older mechanical/hydraulic/electronic/pneumatic gas generator drive system, includes:
turbine fuel regulators with a modern, reliable application control
Analog inputs, 4-20 mA:
package which runs on an open architecture advanced PLC-based
• Watts (load control)
system. The control package for the gas turbine provides on-line
dual fuel control, speed ratio control, and inlet guide vane control • Compressor discharge pressure (PCD)
based on temperature. • Fuel interstage pressure
Analog inputs, frequency:
ADVANTAGES • Three (3) redundant NHP
• Hardware independent system: • One (1) starter speed
Application control package’s portability allows customer choice
Analog inputs, mV:
of platform, reducing need for additional spare parts and training
• EGT (up to 18 thermocouples)
expenses. Available PLCs include General Electric, Siemens/TI, Allen-
Bradley, and Modicon. Analog outputs, 4-20 mA:
• Speed ratio valve position setpoint
• Fault tolerant:
• Fuel control valve position setpoint
Control package is available on fault tolerant controllers for critical
control applications. • Inlet guide vane position setpoint (if applicable)

• Simplified interface to DCS or SCADA: Operating states:

Communication tasks are handled with a separate, dedicated module • Firing
in the PLC, increasing data rate and simplifying network installation. • Warm-up
• Improved fuel regulation: • Accelerate
Fast loop sampling rate, combined with modern digital control • Load
techniques, improves steady-state setpoint control, and reduces • Upset
overshoot during transients, allowing full load rejection without
Status, alarms, and shutdowns:
driving the unit into overspeed.
• Fault
• Improved start-up reliability: • NHP overspeed alarm
Special “lean lightoff” procedure ignites all burners with essentially
• NHP underspeed alarm
100% reliability, and with greatly reduced thermal stress.
• NHP overspeed shutdown
• Improved exhaust temperature monitoring and control:
• Redundant NHP overspeed shutdown
Advanced statistical algorithms detect turbine hot/cold spots and
• rNHP alarm
automatically reject failed thermocouples.
• High EGT alarm
• Fail-safe features:
• High EGT shutdown
Redundant overspeeds; open/short monitoring of mA and
thermocouples; readback monitoring of outputs, and special self- • Low EGT shutdown
check features improve safety. • Rejected thermocouple
• Non-proprietary interfaces: • Too few thermocouples shutdown
Simple 4-20 mA, RTD, thermocouple, and dry contact I/O allow • rT alarm
simple interface to existing sequence/protection logic unit, making • rT shutdown
low-cost partial upgrades practical, and system troubleshooting • Thermocouple spread alarm
simple.
• Thermocouple spread shutdown
• Improved operator information with optional MMI: • Turbine maximum limit
Optional Man-Machine Interface MS Windows-based graphic
• Turbine minimum limit
operator interface displays system status, trending and data logging,
which can be used as part of a preventive maintenance program. • NHP speed #1
• NHP speed #2
• NHP speed #3
• NHP speed #4
• NHP speed #5
• EGT switch #1
• Bolt test
• Manual
• Starter overspeed
• Starter zero speed
• High firing fuel pressure shutdown
