Why Turbiset

Steam Turbine Control and Protection solutions represent a comprehensive suite for both utility and industrial turbine applications. With many decades of experience in control and protection systems for steam turbines, Turbiset represents the culmination of this depth of experience relating to all aspects of turbine operation, fail-safe protection and maximised efficiency – saving energy, CO2 and costs.

Turbiset Outline

Turbiset is a solution for enhanced control, protection and surveillance of steam turbines. Its built-in control features and in-depth reporting functions simplify plant operations, add flexibility to improve overall plant productivity, reduce maintenance cost, and increase your revenue and profitability.

Turbiset Applications

Turbiset is equally deployable in industrial plant applications, including cogeneration or motive power turbines for compressors and pumps, as it is at home running medium and large power plant turbines. Integrated controls provide seamless steam header and extraction control and machinery protection. Therefore, the risk of critical inefficiencies, poor performance and catastrophic failures is substantially reduced.

Turbiset Scope

Turbiset includes all the elements necessary for essential steam turbine operations, and the automation and control of your plant. Additional packages such as monitoring, diagnostics and lifecycle optimization services are available to increase plant availability and lifetime with significant reliability improvement.

Ideal for Steam Turbine Upgrades and Retrofits

Turbiset provides a control system for industrial steam turbines, built with proven standard components to ensure high reliability, safety, and operational flexibility. It features online monitoring, diagnostics, and fault-tolerant trip block assemblies for added security and ease of use. The system is implemented on the MELSEC iQ-R-Series automation platform, offering versatility across turbine applications, including extraction turbines and those used for driving generators, compressors, or pumps. All components are designed, installed, and validated to meet your specific operational needs. The advanced Turbiset control module includes standard controllers for generator load, live steam pressure, extraction pressure, and back pressure, with limit controllers for key process variables. Linearization curves are customizable for all final control elements. The system supports automatic and operator-assisted turbine start-up, considering the needs of cold, warm, and hot starts. Additionally, the Turbiset protect module enables fast adaptation to turbine protection requirements, using predefined software blocks to ensure no single point of failure and replicate existing protection logic. Turbiset also manages turbine island auxiliary systems such as high-pressure hydraulic, lubrication, jacking oil, and gland steam systems.
 

Turbiset control – closed-loop control of:

  • Turbine Speed (speed control, measurement, calculation and indication)
  • Live steam pressure- seamless steam header control and machinery protection
  • Back pressure
  • Extraction pressure including via cross-over valves
  • Bleeding pressure via throttle valve
  • Limit controls for generator load, live steam and back pressure
  • Turbine run-up and loading
  • Others according to requirements

Turbiset protect – triple redundancy with 2-out-of-3 voting for:

  • Overspeed
  • Generator protection
  • Boiler protection
  • Lubrication oil pressure
  • Turbine and generator bearing temperature
  • Bearing vibration
  • Shaft displacement, etc. according to requirements
  • Others according to requirements
