Roll over dates on the timeline to see achievements 1983 | A History of Innovative Achievement Since 1983, Turbine Technology Services (TTS) has been providing the power generation industry with high quality, cost-effective alternatives to the OEM. With more than 20 years in the gas turbine industry, TTS has offered its innovative control solutions, modernization and upgrade services to the mature gas turbine market, in addition to offering a complete array of services to the industry, from state-of-the-art control components, combustion and dynamic tuning to performance testing on the latest "F" technology equipment.
During the 1980s and 1990s TTS relocated and modernized over 40 gas turbines throughout the world. Many of these projects required 60 - 50 and 50 - 60 cycle conversions along with modernization of gas path and ancillary systems technology. TTS gave new life to neglected simple cycle gas turbines by relocating and reapplying them in combined cycle and cogen roles.
1st company to apply Powerlog digital data acquisition hardware and software to existing electro-pneumatic-hydraulic turbine controls.
1st company to apply remote access systems to support and troubleshoot gas turbine operational failures. Ref. ASME Extending Expertise through State of the Art Monitoring .
Pioneered application of high speed electronic servo valves to large gas turbine applications.
In its early history TTS pioneered new maintenance techniques to shave up to 50% off otherwise lengthy procedures.
In the 1990s, TTS pioneered the first comprehensive online relational reference library, known as MasterMindT. It linked the sources of all critical alarms and trips on the control screen to all documented detail and live control data related to that root cause.
1st company to create wearable Human Machine Interface for wireless Process/Power Plant control.
In 1998, TTS, together with a leading combustion hardware designer, created the first non-OEM dry low NOX type combustion system for GE turbines.
1st to provide inexpensive integration of control platforms from diverse OEMS to provide for remote worldwide access.
TTS was the first to integrate combustion emissions, dynamics and controls tuning into a comprehensive service. Today, our team of experts tune OEM combustion systems to bring them into compliance. Precise fuel split and dilution hole changes are made in the field, saving days of potential down-time.
Today, TTS is moving to apply its unique experience in gas turbine technology to retrofit hundreds of existing gas turbines to burn blends of low BTU gas fuel from coal, petroleum coke and other syngases.(see example schematic here)
MEGAWATT FUEL CELLS Tomorrow, TTS plans to help apply solid oxide fuel cells to gas turbines to create the backbone of the hydrogen economy. |
