APPLICATION SCOPE OF SUPPLY

The GE Frame 5 split shaft gas turbine application control package
®
The application control package for GE Frame 5® split shaft gas
replaces older mechanical/hydraulic/electronic/pneumatic Frame 5 turbine compressor drive system, includes:
fuel regulators with a modern, reliable application control package
Analog inputs, 4-20 mA:
which runs on an advanced PLC-based system. The control package
for the gas turbine provides fuel control, speed ratio control, and • Load setpoint (capacity control)
nozzle control based on speed and temperature. • Compressor discharge pressure (PCD)
• Fuel interstage pressure
ADVANTAGES
Analog inputs, frequency:
• Hardware independent system: • Three (3) redundant NHP
Application control package’s portability allows customer choice of
• Three (3) redundant NLP
PLC platform, reducing need for additional spare parts and training
expenses. Available PLCs include General Electric, Siemens/TI, • One (1) starter speed
Allen-Bradley, and Modicon. Analog inputs, mV:
• Fault tolerant: • EGT (up to 18 thermocouples)
Control package is available on fault tolerant controllers for critical Analog outputs, 4-20 mA:
control applications. • Speed ratio valve position setpoint
• Simplified interface to DCS or SCADA: • Fuel control valve position setpoint
Communication tasks are handled with a separate, dedicated module • Nozzle position setpoint
in the PLC, increasing data rate and simplifying network installation.
Operating states:
• Improved fuel regulation: • Firing
Fast loop sampling rate, combined with modern digital control • Warm-up
techniques, improves steady-state setpoint control, and reduces
• Accelerate
overshoot during transients.
• Load
• Improved start-up reliability:
• Upset
Special “lean lightoff” procedure ignites all burners with essentially
100% reliability, and with greatly reduced thermal stress. Status, alarms, and shutdowns:
• Improved exhaust temperature monitoring and control: • Fault
Advanced statistical algorithms detect turbine hot/cold spots and • NHP overspeed alarm
automatically reject failed thermocouples. • NHP underspeed alarm
• Fail-safe features: • NHP overspeed shutdown
Redundant overspeeds; open/short monitoring of mA and • Redundant NHP overspeed shutdown
thermocouples; readback monitoring of outputs, and special self- • rNHP alarm
check features improve safety. • NLP overspeed alarm
• Non-proprietary interfaces: • NLP underspeed alarm
Simple 4-20 mA, RTD, thermocouple, and dry contact I/O allow • NLP overspeed shutdown
simple interface to existing sequence/protection logic unit, making
• Redundant NLP overspeed shutdown
low-cost partial upgrades practical, and system troubleshooting
simple. • rNLP alarm
• High EGT alarm
• Improved operator information with optional MMI:
• High EGT shutdown
Optional Man-Machine Interface MS Windows-based graphic
operator interface displays system status, trending and data logging, • Low EGT shutdown
which can be used as part of a preventive maintenance program. • Rejected thermocouple
Optional Man-Machine Interface MS Windows-based graphic • Too few thermocouples shutdown
operator interface displays system status, trending and data logging,
• rT alarm
which can be used as part of a preventive maintenance program.
• rT shutdown
• Thermocouple spread alarm
• Thermocouple spread shutdown
• Turbine maximum limit
• Turbine minimum limit
• NHP speed #1
• NHP speed #2
• NHP speed #3
• NHP speed #4
• NHP speed #5
