Energy

As the world’s resources become increasingly scarce, power generation will undergo increasing change. Through the use of alternative “raw materials” power generation will be decentralized and distributed to small, local units. This requires modified control and automation systems, since the conventional, large power plant control systems cannot be used in a cost-efficient way. Then the use of standard control systems provides an optimum price/performance ratio.

Standard control systems are also gaining importance in the industrial power plant sector. The high availability provided by current process control systems makes their use in power plants with capacities of up to 150 MW an extremely attractive option for the industry. Additional economic reasons are the use of the same systems as those used in production facilities, reducing stock-keeping as well as maintenance and repair costs.

We have focused on steam and gas turbine-based power generation. Key subjects such as boiler and burner control, typical power plant control systems, and auxiliaries such as water treatment, flue gas cleaning, and switchgear integration all form part of our field of activities.

We also focus on the migration of old power plant control systems and the replacement of measuring panel sections with standard control systems.
