The very fast response time of the Trusted™ system which was required for shutdown of the gas supply, should the gas turbine overspeed, has lead to ICS Triplex Italy winning the order to supply the ESD systems for the Spanish owned ENDESA power station located only 20 km south of Milan .
The project includes the revamp of the the two groups: Modulo 5 and Modulo 6 to a combined cycle producing 780MW and 390 MW respectively. ICST Italy will be working with the contractors ENELPOWER to supply 2 ESD Trusted™ Systems. 750 I/Os have been allocated for Modulo 5 and 650 I/Os for Modulo 6. Both will be connected via redundant OPC link to the DCS systems supplied by ABB Energy Automation. A third Trusted™ system of 120 I/Os will be supplied for fire fighting.
"Tavazzano required that the response time of 200msecs was not exceeded for a system of 700 I/Os.
This combined with the 1msec SOE and the synchronisation features of Trusted™ made us the ideal choice for this project," said Antonio Invernizzi of ICS Triplex Italy.
