will tailor its services to exactly fit your needs on Steam Turbine, Gas Turbine, Diesel and Hydro Generating systems.  These Static Excitation System Retrofits, each complete with System O&M Training and thorough Documentation, can be offered as, but not limited to, one of these Packages;

• Design Interface & Technical Direction

  • The Drawings are supplied (Elementaries, Connections, Interconnections), Demolition/Installation Details provided, Installation Materials and Equipment are specied (and supplied, if required) and Technical Direction provided to your Company's Installation Crews with guidance through all Start-up & Testing Activities.

• Turnkey Installation

  • Just provide the System Outage and the crews and Engineers will provide the completed Upgrade Project.

Utility and Industrial Power Plants throughout the world have been making plans directed at helping to maintain or improve the existing levels of plant availability, and to enhance the useful operating life of each Generating System.

is your source for EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS.

Retrofitting with Digital or Analog Type Solid-State Excitation Systems puts new life in older Generating Systems.  Reasons to retrofit with new Static Excitation Systems can include:

• Rotating Exciter Problems

• Lack of Spare or Renewal Parts

• Automatic Voltage Regulator is Out-of-Service

• High Maintenance Costs of Rotating Apparatus

• System Requires Better Operating Performance / Better Response Time

• Reliability Concerns

• Power System Stabilizer Requirements

• Personnel Attrition - Expertise has been lost

• To Replace Obsolete Regulating Equipment

• New Systems offer Communication Links for Control & Monitoring

• To take Advantage of Higher Efficiencies

• To eliminate Operating Restrictions of the Older Equipment

• To extend the MVAR Capabilities of the Generator via Better Protection & Limiter Circuitry

• To save Operating Costs via Performance, Reliability, Maintenance & Efficiency

Types of Excitation Control Systems that are right for full Static Excitation System Retrofits include but not limited to:

• All Units with Rotating Exciters

• GE Units with Amplidynes, ALTERREX^™, ALTHYREX^™, SCT-PPT, SCPT, Bus-Fed, GDA Diactor, GFA-4

• Westinghouse Units with WTA, WMA, PRX, Silverstat, Rototrol, BJ-30

• Allis-Chalmers Units with Regulex

• VICKERS / EMD Diesel Units
