Description
ECT’s steam turbine speed control solution provides high reliability with extreme accuracy in a standard PLC package. ECT has extensive experience with industrial steam turbines and has packaged this knowledge into an affordable convenient speed control application.
Features & Benefits
- Up to four critical speed avoidance bands
- Overspeed protection integrated with speed control
- One, two or three speed input channels
- Manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic startup modes
- Configurable ramps and alternate selections for hot and cold starts
- Extraction and admission turbines
- Interaction control with all ECT control applications
- Generator control

ECT also provides a dedicated API670 compliant emergency overspeed detection device and advanced vibration monitoring system. These devices integrate seamlessly with SpeedPAC and provides a complete steam turbine control and shutdown system in a SIL 2 package.
SpeedPAC can be integrated with any of ECT’s algorithms such as SurgePAC and PerformancePAC to create a state-of-the-art control system for turbine driven compressor systems. When installed on SurePAC (our fault tolerant control package) the combination of high performance control algorithms along with a state of the art SIL rated fault tolerant hardware platform creates a superior steam turbine control package that can be easily operated and maintained.
