Turbine Technology Services - Gas Turbine Technology

Since 1983, Turbine Technology Services (TTS) has been providing the power generation industry with high quality, cost-effective alternatives to the OEM. With more than 20 years in the gas turbine industry, TTS offers its innovative control solutions, modernization and upgrade services to the mature gas turbine market, in addition to offering a complete array of services to the industry, from state-of-the-art control components, combustion and dynamic tuning to performance testing on the latest "F" technology equipment.

Always anchored in fundamental good practices, TTS has amassed a reputation for excellence through timely execution and innovation. Products and services include engineering, new and modernization projects, turbine management systems, reliability services, training and outage services.

During the 1980s and 1990s TTS relocated and modernized over 35 gas turbines throughout the world. Many of these projects required 60 - 50 and 50 - 60 cycle conversions along with modernization of gas path and ancillary systems technology. TTS gave new life to neglected simple cycle gas turbines by relocating and reapplying them in combined cycle and cogen roles.

A TIMELINE OF INNOVATIVE ACHIEVEMENT...

REMOTE ADVANCED MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE METHODS

In its early history TTS pioneered new maintenance techniques to shave up to 50% off otherwise lengthy procedures.

GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE MONITORING

As early as 1987 TTS modernized and unified diverse turbine microprocessor systems for remote turbine monitoring and support.

TURBINATOR™ - HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE

In the 1990s, TTS created the first wearable and wireless human machine interface to provide operators complete full time mobile control outside the control room.

MASTERMIND™ - ONLINE REFERENCE LIBRARY

In the 1990s, TTS pioneered the first comprehensive online relational reference library, known as MasterMind™. It linked the sources of all critical alarms and trips on the control screen to all documented detail and live control data related to that root cause.

LOW EMISSIONS TECHNOLOGY

In 1998, TTS, together with a leading combustion hardware designer, created the first non-OEM dry low NOX type combustion system for GE turbines.

BUNDLED TUNING SERVICES

TTS was the first to integrate combustion emissions, dynamics and controls tuning into a comprehensive service. Today, our team of experts tune OEM combustion systems to bring them into compliance. Precise fuel split and dilution hole changes are made in the field, saving days of potential down-time.

GAS TURBINE COAL FLEET

Today, TTS is moving to apply its unique experience in gas turbine technology to retrofit hundreds of existing gas turbines to burn low BTU gas fuel from coal.

MEGAWATT FUEL CELLS

Tomorrow, TTS plans to help apply solid oxide fuel cells to gas turbines to create the backbone of the hydrogen economy.
