EXCITATION & VOLTAGE REGULATOR SYSTEMS
EVALUATION AND ENHANCEMENT |
THE CHALLENGE
Power supply is of utmost concern in America today. Increases in demand continue
to burden power suppliers. Efficiency
and Reliability in production is of primary concern.
Utilities continue to strive for ways to maintain their generation capacity.
Most have established "Life Management Programs" to extend the life expectancy
of the turbines and generators.
Units twenty or more years old are expected to be in operation for another
twenty years. However, many utilities neglect to consider the Excitation Control Systems.
Are they keeping up with today's demands of voltage support through-out the system?
DETERMINING YOUR NEEDS
Which of the following concerns apply to your facility:
-
Is in-house expertise available?
-
Can the manufacturer still supply the expertise?
-
VAR support problems?
-
Are replacement parts available? If so, are they cost prohibitive?
-
Mechanical maintenance dependency for voltage control?
-
Automatic Regulator out of service, making load control inoperable?
-
Are excitation limits restricting the unit's VAR capacity?
-
Is maintaining voltage control dependent on the reactions of the operator?
-
What are all of our alternatives to problems caused by the older Excitation
Control Systems?

THE SOLUTION |
Evaluation & Enhancement Study of your Excitation
Control Systems - an inspection and appraisal of each System, compiling a Life Assessment
Analysis including all retrofit options and short/long term recommendations with regard to
the operation of each system.
