NCG Project – Modernization of a GTA control system

Machine: Fives Cail type 41 CP turbine

Electrical power output: 4 MW 

NCG teams have replaced the hydraulic system that operates the Woodward UG40-D control valve and mechanical regulator on an industrial site. The aim of this GTA control modernization was to increase the overall reliability of the plant.

BEFORE:

Mechanical regulation has been replaced by Woodward electronic regulation in conjunction with a robust and reliable Woodward servo distributor for optimized operation. A Woodward 2-out-of-3 overspeed protection has also been implemented to ensure machine protection against overspeed conditions.

New equipment installed by NCG:

  • Woodward 505D Digital Regulator
  • Woodward Protech GII Overspeed Protection
  • Woodward Varistroke Servo Distributor
  • Woodward MPU Speed Sensors
