industrial control system. The Application Control Package for the
gas turbine generator set provides all control functions required • Flexibility:
for the reliable and safe operation of the equipment including The Applicatopn Control Package can accommodate many different
fuel control, variable geometry control, sequencing, alarming, etc. control strategies based on the customer’s need and budget.
It also provides spray intercooling water injection (SPRINT) control
for power augmentation or NOx reduction, and dual fuel control for

ADVANTAGES
Analog inputs, 4-20 mA:
• Integrated control capability:
• P0 Inlet Ambient Air Pressure
Turbine fuel control and sequencing/protection are integrated into a
single platform. This eliminates the need for additional hardware and • P2 LPC Inlet pressure (with VIGVs)
communication links, thereby providing a less complicated, more cost- • P25 HPC Inlet Pressure
effective solution. • PS3 HPC Discharge Pressure (CDP)
• Open architecture system: • P48 Thrust Balance Pressure
Application Control Package’s portability allows customer choice • Gas Fuel Supply Pressure
of platform, reducing need for additional spare parts and training
• Gas Fuel Valve Position Feedback
expenses.
• Generator Megawatts
• Fault tolerant:
• Liquid Fuel Pump Discharge Pressure (if applicable)
Application Control Package is available on fault tolerant controllers
for critical control applications. • Liquid Fuel Valve Position Feedback (if applicable)

• Standard industrial components: • NOx Water Injection Valve Position Feedback

Non-proprietary, commonly available parts are less costly and more • PTB Thrust Balance Pressure
easily serviced by customer’s on-site personnel. Much longer time to • Spray Intercooling Water Pressure (if applicable)
obsolescence than proprietary systems. • Spray Intercooling Water Flow (if applicable)
• Reliability: • Spray Intercooling Air Pressure (if applicable)
ALL control functions are performed by tested and proven industrial • Turbine Flame Detector
control equipment.
• Variable Inlet Guide Vanes (VIGV) Position Feedback (if applicable)
• Simplified interface to DCS or SCADA:
• Variable Bleed Valves (VBV) Position Feedback
Communication tasks are handled with a separate, dedicated module
• Variable Stator Vanes (VSV) Position Feedback
in the PLC, increasing data rate and simplifying network installation.
• Variable Thrust Balance Valve (TBV) Position Feedback
• Non-proprietary interfaces:
Interfaces in the form of 4-20 mA, RTD, frequency, thermo-couple, Analog inputs, frequency:
and dry contact I/O allow simple integration into existing control • Redundant XN25 HPC Speed
equipment, making very low-cost partial control upgrades simple and • Redundant XNSD LPT Drive Shaft Speed
practical.
Analog Thermocouple inputs, mV:
• Improved fuel regulation: • T3 HPC Discharge Temperature
Fast loop sampling rate, combined with modern digital control
• T48 LPT Inlet Temperature
techniques improve steady-state setpoint control, and reduce
overshoot during transients. Analog inputs, RTD:
• Improved start-up reliability: • T2 LPC Inlet Temperature RTD
Special “lean lightoff” procedure ignites all burners with essentially • T25 HPC Inlet Temperature RTD
100% reliability, and with greatly reduced thermal stress. • Gas Fuel Supply RTD
• Improved exhaust temperature monitoring and control: • Liquid Fuel Manifold RTD (if applicable)
Advanced statistical algorithms detect turbine hot/cold spots and • Liquid Fuel Supply RTD (if applicable)
automatically reject failed thermocouples. • Spray Intercooling Water RTD (if applicable)
• Fail-safe features: • Spray Intercooling Air (if applicable)
Redundant overspeeds; open/short monitoring of Analog inputs and
thermocouples; readback monitoring of outputs, and special self-check
features improve safety.
• Improved operator information with optional HMI:
Industrial human-machine interface graphically displays such as start-
up sequencing, speeds, temperatures, operating points, and alarm/
shutdown status. Data logging and trending can be used as part of a
preventative maintenance program. Alternatively, existing HMI can be
reused to reduce initial cost and maintain common operator interface.
