TURBINE & EXPANDER CONTROL

Control and protect critical rotating equipment.

TURNER ECS supports steam turbines, Organic Rankine Cycle systems, carbon-dioxide and supercritical carbon-dioxide cycles, and industrial expanders with integrated control and protection engineering.

Discuss the application Retrofit & Evolution

OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE

Modernisation starts with the behaviour the asset must preserve.

Process interaction

Pressure, temperature, speed and load must remain coordinated with the process.

Mechanical limits

Overspeed, vibration, thermal and valve constraints demand reliable protection.

Multiple interfaces

Drivers, generators, compressors, valves and plant automation must behave as one system.

TECHNICAL SCOPE

Engineer the complete route, not an isolated component.

Sequence

Start, warm-up, roll, synchronise, load, unload and shutdown.

Governing

Speed, load, pressure and process-variable control.

Valves

Admission, extraction, bypass and actuator control with feedback.

Protection

Overspeed, vibration, temperature, pressure and trip coordination.

Integration

Generator, compressor, process, Distributed Control System and electrical interfaces.

Verification

Dynamic modelling, Factory Acceptance Testing and commissioning support.

INTEGRATION & VALIDATION

Prove how the updated system will behave in operation.

The exact engineering and compliance route depends on the installed architecture, customer standards, applicable authorities and approved responsibility boundaries.

Application definition

Match the control philosophy to the thermodynamic cycle and duty.

Complete-train view

Coordinate rotating equipment, valves, process and electrical behaviour.

Evidence before operation

Validate critical sequences and fault responses in a controlled environment.
