Project 3
ICSS emulation: Hybrid – Foxboro I/A®
Gas turbine control: Hybrid – GE Mark VIe®
Model fidelity: High fidelity – AVEVA DYNSIM®
This was an ICSS replacement to Foxboro I/A® and an upgrade in GE software from Mark V® to Mark VIe®. There was a window of 21 days to install the new ICSS software and new hardware. Due to the tests done on the OTS, the new ICSS was installed, and the startup happened in less than 21 days. Some other benefits were as follows:
- The ICSS Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) was done on the OTS.
- The ICSS software was shipped and installed on site, while the FAT on the OTS was still going on, saving very valuable time.
- All operators were trained on the new ICSS.
- Many engineering studies were done on the simulator.
This OTS was first delivered in 2007 and the system is still in use at the time of writing this book.
