Installing modern controls on a vintage machine enhances reliability and control while
keeping costs significantly lower than a full replacement. Increased opportunities to
retrofit vintage steam turbine control systems are expected with the growing demand for
electricity in the US. These multifaceted projects include engineering, electrical,
welding, machining, and mechanical work. The projects can be challenging because
design details cannot be finalized until the machines are disassembled. This
presentation will begin with a general overview of a vintage steam turbine control
system retrofit that took place earlier this year. We will also discuss some technical
problems faced during the project, and solutions that were implemented.
