The TMS-1000 Series of turbine controllers are built on the most advanced programmable controller platforms available today; these systems are designed using the latest in distributed control philosophy. With our hardware independent approach, one can use technology and parts already common to their plant. The following benefits result from the implementation of a fully integrated TMS^® system:

• Improving existing control system performance and reliability
  
• Optimizing unit output and efficiency
  
• Eliminating dependence on the OEM for spare parts and/or repair
  
• Reducing the cost of spare parts and/or repair
  
• Improving the amount and quality of information the system provides to operators and engineers
  
• Providing additional features to enhance unit operation and maintenance

We supply a complete package of engineering, hardware and technical support to complete the control system upgrade, which includes overall system design; all controller and operator interface hardware, software, and installation drawings; instruction manuals; and technical direction for system commissioning.

ElectroFlo Electronic Control Valve

Fast and accurate flow control for combustion turbine applications is more accessible with the ElectroFlo^® Electronic Control Valve. Developed by TTS, the ElectroFlo^® Valve surpasses the response and accuracy of most pneumatic and high pressure hydraulic systems, while eliminating many of the complications associated with each. With the ElectroFlo^® Valve and other suggested modifications; TTS can completely eliminate all hydraulic and pneumatic accessories found on typical gas turbines. The ElectroFlo^® Valve has over 10 million installed hours in applications controlling fluids from natural gas and diesel fuel to steam and water for NOx abatement.

Traditionally the Gas Turbine Control System was autonomous and connected to the rest of the plant via a communications link. With the advances in communications options, I/O types and the capabilities of programmable controllers, the Gas Turbine Control System can be fully integrated component in an overall Balance of Plant Control System.

The Balance of Plant Control System uses the same controller and I/O platforms and communications on a common bus sharing all plant parameters. Typical systems include but are not limited to:

TTS offers the following HMI Services:

Often overlooked during system upgrades, the Gas Turbine Motor Control Center (MCC) is often a point of failure.

TTS can provide a system fully integrated into the new TMS-1000 Turbine Control System using a combination of “point I/O” and Allen Bradley’s Intellicenter technology. Benefits:

As part of our integrated approach to Gas Turbine Generator upgrades, TTS offers the following:
