Expertise

The addition of OC 4000 controls to the GE portfolio has extended our capabilities in plant-wide distributed control systems as well as building on our existing domain knowledge and application experience in the fossil power generation industry. We are equipped to add value to your operations through the accumulated knowledge gained in thousands of projects.

Reliability

Through advanced redundancy and fault-tolerant designs, particular emphasis is placed on system building blocks that can be flexibly mixed and matched to offer the reliability and availability demanded by the application. The result of these design features is a control system with longer mean time between failure (MTBF), shorter mean time to repair (MTTR), and lower operating and maintenance costs.

Product
The OC 4000 platform for plant-wide distributed control delivers high performance and reliability. It balances the security that comes from individual purpose-built controls with the convenience and data sharing capabilities that can only exist in a common, integrated platform. This integrated platform is highly flexible, allowing it to address any or all of the following:
  • Modulating Control
  • Sequencing Control
  • Boiler Combustion Control
  • Feedwater Pump Control
  • Furnace Safety Supervision
  • Data Acquisition
  • Electric System Control
  • Balance of Plant Equipment Control
  • Flue Gas Desulfurization Control
  • Turbine Control
  • Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation
  • Combined Cycle Control
  • Emergency Shutdown
