Social media round up
WEG Group company TGM – a leading Brazilian provider of equipment for power generator drivers, has replaced a steam turbine with a superior model at Usina Santo Antônia in Sertãozinho, Brazil.
Santo Antônio has acquired a multi-stage TGM turbine model BT 40 (reaction technology) to drive an energy generator, aiming at replacing the TME 25000A turbine (impulse technology), installed in 2002. The new equipment allows a 13% gain in power generation using the same amount of steam, which supplies internal consumption and enables export to the rest to the grid. The TGM steam turbine model BT 40 can operate at a maximum power of 40MW and operates at up to 140 bar (a) of pressure and 540 degrees Celsius of temperature.
As an additional service, modernisation of the turbine safety and control systems was also carried out, fully integrated with the generator’s protection, excitation and synchronisation system. The old systems installed in 2002 presented many availability risks due to the obsolescence of various equipment, so with this upgrade, the plant now has state of the art equipment, in addition to mitigating any risk of unwanted shutdowns.
