Orlando Power Engineering Firm to Provide Gas Turbine Control Systems with Triple Modular Redundancy Technology from Rockwell Automation
Turbine Technology Services Corporation utilizes triple modular redundant control technology from Rockwell Automation to provide high availability control to the gas compression and power generation industries
President of Turbine Technology Services, Tony Thorton, is honored to be working with Rockwell Automation.
(ORLANDO, FL) —Turbine Technology Services Corporation (TTS), a full-service gas turbine engineering services firm based in Orlando, FL, has designed a solution to offer triple modular redundancy (TMR) for gas turbine control applications. This solution leverages control technology from Rockwell Automation, a provider of automation controls and information solutions based in Milwaukee, WI.
Over the past decade the central Florida-based gas turbine engineering company has worked on numerous projects in regions such as North and South America, Asia, and Africa. Aging power plants and gas compressor stations in these locations often require upgrade and modernization services to extend their operational lifetime in order to reduce outages and decrease downtime.
Core to the TMR gas turbine solution is a Rockwell Automation Trusted™ TMR controller designed to provide enhanced safety and availability for power generation and gas compression applications. The Trusted™ controller incorporates a fault-tolerant architecture to help eliminate spurious system trips. It also provides high availability as part of its inherent safety-related functionality.
The Trusted™ TMR design uses a majority voting process to identify the source of a fault. Random hardware failures will cause one of three process control “slices” to react differently to the others. This discrepancy can then be captured and reported by the voting system. The Trusted™ TMR system reacts immediately to control-system faults, helping meet the user’s safety integrity requirements.
“We are truly honored to be working with Rockwell Automation to implement the Trusted™ TMR solution for gas turbine applications,” says Tony Thornton, President of Turbine Technology Services. “We see this association as a win-win for both companies as we seek to further enhance our respective product offerings and solutions to the gas turbine marketplace. Also, the timing of this new initiative is significant given the number of GE “F” class gas turbines that are fast approaching a need for TMR control system retrofits.”
“The Trusted™ TMR solution is ideal for gas turbine applications in the power generation and gas compression industries,” says Eric Fidler, Director of Global Oil and Gas Sales for Rockwell Automation. “TTS is delivering a leading-edge solution for customers seeking high availability in their turbine applications.”

Gas Turbine Combustor Blow-Out Prevention Becomes Hot Topic in Power Generation Industry
Turbine Technology Services, Mitch Cohen contributes to Combined Cycle Journal for a 7FA Lean Blow Out Article
Turbine Technology Services Corporation’s Mitch Cohen Delivers Featured Story on Combined Cycle Journal
(ORLANDO, FL) —Turbine Technology Services Corporation (TTS), a full-service gas turbine engineering services firm based in Orlando, Florida, has been featured on the current edition of Combined Cycle Journal, an international power engineering publication, where Senior Systems Engineer Mitch Cohen shared his knowledge on a common threat to 7FA gas turbines: Lean Blow-Out trips.
As an expert with more than two decades of experience in the design, operation, and maintenance of Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustion systems for gas turbines, Cohen contributed to Combined Cycle Journal (CCJ) by providing details on the detection and prevention of Lean Blow Out trips—also referred to as LBOs.
Cohen’s extensive knowledge and experience with the optimal functionality of gas turbines has provided him with a unique perspective on the LBO problem affecting 7FA DLN-2.6 gas turbines as widespread use of these models expands, now numbering over 500 units in operation.
According to Cohen, the reliable operation of the DLN-2.6 combustor requires precise control of the combustor fuel/air ratio that contributes to achieving desired NOx and CO emission levels, while also maintaining low combustor dynamic levels and adequate flame stability over the DLN operating range.
As TTS’ Senior Systems Engineer, Cohen explains that a failure to achieve this required fuel-to-air ratio control can result not only in failure to maintain emissions limits, but in many instances, induce a flame out trip of the turbine—an LBO.
“A Lean Blow-Out trip can cost operators tens of thousands of dollars, both in lost generating revenue and increased maintenance costs because of reduced overhaul intervals,” adds Cohen, who writes many of TTS’ technical documents and case studies. “With today’s large fleet of 7FA operators facing similar consequences, this article should resonate well in the power generation community.”
The CCJ article provides operators with practical information about the causes and means of preventing LBO trips in DLN-2.6 combustors, including examples of actual Lean Blow-Out troubleshooting procedures to illustrate how operators can learn about the signs of impending LBOs and prevent a trip before it occurs.
To learn more about Mitch Cohen’s article, it can be viewed at http://www.ccj-online.com/3q-2011/7f-users-group-blowout-trips/ or in the current edition (3Q, 2011) of Combined Cycle Journal.
